New Dynamics (?) of $J/ψJ/ψ$ and $ΥΥ$ families from QCD Laplace sum rules at NLO

Abstract

Motivated by the recent CMS data on a family of $2^{++}$ states from $J/ψJ/ψ$ mass spectrum, we determine the masses of the $2^{++}$ $J/ψJ/ψ$ molecule and $cc\bar c\bar c$ states, by using (for the first time) the two lowest QCD Laplace Sum Rules (LSR) moment-ratios within the standard optimization criteria with respect to the LSR variable $τ$ and to the QCD continuum threshold $t_c$ implemented by the $R_{P/C}$ requirement that the lowest ground state (Pole) contribution to the LSR is larger than the QCD continuum one. Including factorized NLO perturbative and LO $G^4$ gluon condensates in the OPE, we obtain the the lowest ground state masses: $M^{2^{++}}_{J/ψJ/ψ}=6521(69)$ MeV and $M^{2^{++}}_{cc\bar c \bar c}=6347(99)$ MeV with the couplings\,: $f^{2^{++}}_{J/ψJ/ψ}=96(14)$ keV and $f^{2^{++}}_{cc\bar c \bar c}= 151(29)$ keV normalized as $f_π=93$ MeV. The masses of the first radial excitations are :$M^{2^{++}{rad}}_{J/ψJ/ψ}=7987(251 )$ MeV and $M^{2^{++}{rad}}_{cc\bar c \bar c}=7739(221)$ MeV indicating a mass-splitting about $2.5 (M_{ψ(2S)}-M_{J/ψ})$. The decay constants are $f^{2^{++}{rad}}_{J/ψJ/ψ}=248(70)$ keV and: $f^{2^{++}{\rm rad}}_{cc\bar c\bar c}=453(96) $ keV which are (unexpectedly) larger than the lowest ground state ones. These features may indicate some new dynamics compared to ordinary $\bar cc$ states. We extend the analysis to the $0^{++}$ states and to the $ΥΥ$ family where the results are compiled in Tables 2 and 3. We critically review some other QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) results. We suggest that the X(6600) might be a molecule ground state. Using a two-component mass mixing scheme, the X(6900) and X(7100) might be interpreted as a mixture of the $cc\bar c\bar c$ lowest ground state with its 1st radial excitation via an angle $θ=5^0$.

Sensitivity Analysis of Singlet Vector-Like B Quarks via Photon-Induced and Z-Initiated Processes at FCC-$μp$

This study presents a systematic sensitivity analysis of singlet-type vector-like $B$ quark production at an FCC--$μp$ collider with a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=24.5~\mathrm{TeV}$ through photon- and $Z$-initiated production mechanisms. The analysis focuses on the $B\to Zb$ decay channel, considering the leptonic decay of the $Z$ boson and the hadronic decay of the accompanying $W$ boson, leading to the final state $\ell^+\ell^-bjj$. Detector-resolution effects are incorporated through a simplified Gaussian smearing procedure, and the discovery and exclusion sensitivities are evaluated using an Asimov-based statistical framework. For the photon-induced channel, the most favourable sensitivity is obtained for $R_L=0.05$ and $\mathcal{L}=1000~\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$. Over the mass range $M_B=2$--$3~\mathrm{TeV}$, the expected $5σ$ discovery reach is approximately $g^\ast\simeq0.263$--$0.328$, while the $95\%$ C.L. exclusion sensitivity extends to $g^\ast\simeq0.162$--$0.197$. On the other hand, the $Z$-initiated channel provides a substantially stronger sensitivity and extends the investigated mass range up to $M_B=4.5~\mathrm{TeV}$. For $R_L=0.05$ and $\mathcal{L}=500~\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$, the $5σ$ discovery reach is approximately $g^\ast\simeq0.038$--$0.056$, while the corresponding $95\%$ C.L. exclusion sensitivity reaches $g^\ast\simeq0.021$--$0.032$. These results demonstrate that photon- and $Z$-initiated single production at an FCC--$μp$ collider provide complementary probes of heavy vector-like $B$ quarks. Moreover, the $Z$-initiated channel offers particularly strong sensitivity to small effective couplings in the multi-TeV mass region beyond the present direct LHC reach.

Flavon assisted low scale leptogenesis

Low-scale leptogenesis scenarios, such as the resonant leptogenesis, typically require a highly degenerate mass spectrum of right-handed neutrinos (RHNs). This requirement can be circumvented by extending the seesaw framework with a scalar singlet $S$ that couples to RHNs via the $S N^{}_I N^{}_J$ terms (with $I \neq J$), which opens up new decay channels $N^{}_I \to N^{}_J S$ and provides additional sources of CP violation, thereby enabling successful leptogenesis at the TeV scale without the need for mass degeneracy. In this work, for the first time, we point out that the flavon fields, which are introduced in many flavor-symmetry neutrino mass models to be responsible for the generation of RHN masses through the acquisition of non-zero vacuum expectation values, serve as ideal candidates for the $S$ field. Taking as an example a flavor-symmetry neutrino mass model that naturally realizes the experimentally allowed TM1 mixing pattern and has the attractive features that only one flavon field plays the role of $S$ and that it couples to only two RHNs, we demonstrate that the observed neutrino masses and mixing angles can be consistently reproduced, while the observed baryon asymmetry can be achieved within a parameter space compatible with current experimental constraints.

EasyScan_HEP 2: LLM-Agent Parameter-Scan Workflows in High Energy Physics

Large-language-model (LLM) agents are beginning to reshape the preparation and steering of computational workflows in high-energy physics phenomenology. To accommodate this change, we upgrade EasyScan_HEP to make the construction of parameter-scan configuration files more accessible to LLM-agent assistance. EasyScan_HEP 2 exposes command-line and machine-readable interfaces for LLM-agent workflows, allowing an assistant to translate natural language requests into an explicit .ini configuration that defines the scan method, external-program workflow, constraints, and outputs. The resulting configuration can be inspected through a local Web interface. The framework also supports LLM-agent-guided extension to new scan methods, as illustrated by the integration of BESTFIT, EMCEE, and DYNESTY. In this way, EasyScan_HEP 2 adapts parameter-scan workflows to LLM-agent use while preserving reproducibility, transparency, and user control.
