B_s -> mu^+ mu^- and B -> X_s mu^+ mu^- in MSSM

Abstract

Pure leptonic and semileptonic rare B decays, $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ and $B \to X_s μ^+ μ^-$ in the minimal supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), in particular, gluino and neutralino contributions to the decays, are discussed under Br($B \to X_s γ$) and other experimental constraints . The general scalar quark mass matrices as the new sources of flavor violation are considered. We present Wilson coefficients of $bs$ transitions from $γ$, $Z$, and neutral Higgs boson penguin diagrams by using vertex mixing method to deal with scalar down-type quark flavor changing and also give their expressions in MIA to show different sources of enhancements. We find that under the experimental constraints, with large mixing of left-handed and right-handed sbottom, $C^{(\prime)}_{10}$ can be enhanced by 10% compared with SM, in two cases, heavy gluino and fine-tuning between $δ^{dLL}_{23}$($δ^{dRR}_{23}$) and $δ^{dLR}_{23}$($δ^{dRL}_{23}$) terms in $C^{(\prime)}_7$. Particularly, $C_{10}$ and $C_{10}^{\prime}$ can reach a 20% enhancement in some regions of parameters under experimental constraints. When CP-odd Higgs $A^0$ is not too heavy ($\sim 250$GeV), and $\tanβ$ is large ($\sim 40$), neutral Higgs boson penguins with gluino and down-type squark in the loop can significantly contribute to the $bs$ transition and the contributions can compete with those due to the chargino and up-type squark loop.

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.
