Abstract

We explore the possibility of non-resonant flavoured leptogenesis in the framework of the aligned two-Higgs doublet model augmented with two right-handed neutrinos. Considering the lightest heavy neutrino mass between 10 TeV-100 TeV, we calculate the baryon asymmetry of the universe by solving fully flavoured coupled Boltzmann equations and find that the observed baryon asymmetry can be successfully generated for lightest heavy-neutrino masses in this range without relying on resonant enhancement. We compute the flavour-dependent CP asymmetries and washouts as well. Unlike conventional analyses based on only one Higgs doublet, in this framework, both Yukawa structures associated with the scalar doublets contribute to the CP asymmetry, and their combined effect plays an essential role in realizing the observed lepton asymmetry. We find that the flavoured lepton asymmetry survives if the washout in that direction is weak. The CP asymmetries in the other flavour directions suffer strong washout. The surviving flavour-dependent lepton asymmetry becomes the main contributor to the final baryon asymmetry. We perform a comprehensive numerical analysis to identify the allowed regions of the multi-dimensional parameter space compatible with neutrino oscillation data, perturbativity of the Yukawa couplings, charged-lepton flavour violation and the observed baryon asymmetry.

Energy-momentum tensor at small $x$ from gravitational transverse-momentum distributions

We investigate the momentum-space mechanical properties of small-$x$ gluons and sea quarks using gravitational transverse-momentum distributions (gravitational TMDs). For gluons, we formulate these distributions using the light-front gauge-invariant canonical energy-momentum tensor and derive their relations to ordinary TMD correlators, identifying momentum densities, the transverse flux of inertia, and transverse stresses. In the eikonal approximation, the longitudinal and transverse canonical gluon momentum densities are determined by the unpolarized distribution, whereas the transverse flux of inertia and transverse stresses vanish. For an unpolarized target, we numerically evaluate the gluon and sea-quark momentum densities using a common initial condition based on the McLerran--Venugopalan model and fixed-coupling leading-order Balitsky--Kovchegov evolution. We also evaluate the sea-quark transverse flux of inertia through the twist-three quark TMD at the high transverse-momentum region. These results illustrate departures from the free-particle relation between canonical transverse momentum and the effective transverse velocity governing inertia flow.

Seeking a possible approach to understanding the origin of the proton mass using twist-4 contributions in inclusive reactions

Most of the mass of the visible universe originates from the strong interaction. Quantitatively reproducing the origin of the nucleon mass is one of the important challenges in fundamental science. Since the next-generation Electron-Ion Collider has identified resolving this problem as one of its major goals, further theoretical studies are needed to develop approaches to investigating the origin experimentally. In this paper, we explore the possibility of evaluating the ``gluon condensate term'' which is particularly difficult to determine among the contributions to the nucleon mass, using high-energy scattering experiments. We first express the gluon condensate term in terms of experimentally accessible twist-4 lightcone matrix elements. We then derive, for the first time, analytic formulas for the cross section including all twist-4 contributions from pure quark, quark-gluon, and pure gluon matrix elements in $ep$ collisions, and show how these contributions can be related to the gluon condensate term.

Effective Theory for Light Portal Dark Matter Detection

We develop a general framework for the computation of light portal dark matter direct detection, incorporating a consistent treatment of finite momentum transfer. In this framework, dark matter interacts with Standard Model matter through a light mediator, which simultaneously serves as the force carrier for dark matter self-interaction, potentially with a distinct coupling strength. The corresponding effective theory relevant for detecting this class of dark matter is systematically constructed. Our analysis focuses on light (semi)relativistic dark matter, which may originate from cosmic-ray boosting and can be probed in high threshold experiments such as large-volume neutrino detectors. In this context, the nucleon matrix elements of the effective operators at finite momentum transfer are required, made available through recent advances in lattice QCD and related nonperturbative methods. The relativistic Fermi gas model is used to convert the nucleon-level momentum transfer to the nuclear level, thereby incorporating nuclear effects pertinent to heavy target experiments. To demonstrate the utility of the framework, we present ultraviolet-complete examples featuring spin-1 and spin-2 portal dark matter. For these models, we compute the differential cross sections with respect to momentum transfer, adopting parameter choices that address the so-called core-cusp problem in astrophysical observations via dark matter self-interactions.
