A Model of Elementary Particle Interactions

Abstract

There is a second kind of light which does not interact with our electrons. However it interacts with some of our protons (p) and some of our neutrons (n) which are both of two kinds: protons (p, p`), neutrons (n`, n) differing in the two kinds of charges (Q1, Q2) associated with the two kinds of light. p [p`] and n` [n] have (Q1, Q2) values equal to (1, 1) [(1, 0)] and (0, 0) [(0, 1)] respectively. There is also a second kind of electron (Q2 =1, Q1= 0), equal in mass to our electron (Q1 = -1, Q2= 0), which does not interact with our (the first) kind of light. Three major scenarios S1, S2 and X4 arise. In S1, matter in the solar system on large scales is predominantly neutralized in both kinds of charges and the weak forces of attraction among the sun and planets are due to a fundamental force of nature. However in this scenario we must postulate that human consciousness is locked on to chemical reactions in the retina involving the first kind of light and the first kind of electrons only. It is oblivious to the simultaneous parallel chemical reactions governed by a chemistry which is based on the second kind of light and the second kind of anti-electrons and involves the same physical atoms manifesting different atomic numbers Z` (= Q2). In scenario S2, matter in the solar system on large scales is predominantly neutralized in the first kind of charge only. In this scenario human consciousness is not restricted in its awareness to a narrowly >....... continued

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.
