Abstract

This paper has deduced the baryon spectrum using only 2 flavored quarks u and d (each of them has three colored members). From Dirac's sea concept and the quark confinement idea, we conjecture and then assume that the quarks (in the vacuum state) compose colorless particles (uud and udd, hereafter will be called the Lee Particles). Moreover, the Lee Particles lead in a natural way to the construction - a body center cubic lattice in the vacuum. Consequently, there exists a strong interaction periodic field with body center cubic periodic symmetries and an electromagnetic interaction periodic field (from the charged Lee Particles uud) with simple cubic periodic symmetries in the vacuum. In terms of the energy band theory, using a point baryon approximation (i.e., omitting the structure of the Lee Particles), and from the symmetries of the strong interaction periodic field, we have deduced the intrinsic quantum numbers (I, S, C, b, Q) of all baryons and a unified mass formula from which all baryon masses can be found. This theoretical baryon spectrum is in accordance with the experimental results in both intrinsic quantum numbers and masses. These results show that various baryons are the energy band excited states of the Lee Particles. We also predict some new baryons: Λ^0(2559), Λ^0(4279), Ξ_C(3169), Ω^-(3619), Λ_C^+(6659), Λ_b^0(10159) ... Furthermore, from the electromagnetic interaction periodic field of the vacuum material, we predict a super heavy electron spectrum E(166 Gev), E(332 Gev), E(498 Gev) ... We suggest that experiments to find the super heavy electron spectrum and long lifetime baryon Λ^0(2559) should be done.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
