Abstract

In this paper we describe the implementation of processes f_1 bar-f_1 ZZ --> 0 and f_1 bar-f_1 HZ --> 0 into the framework of SANC system. The f_1 stands for a massless fermion f whose mass is kept non-zero only in arguments of ln functions and --> 0 means that all 4-momenta flow inwards. The derived scalar form factors can be used for any cross channel after an appropriate permutation of their arguments (s,t,u). We present the covariant and helicity amplitudes for these processes: for the former only in the annihilation channel f_1 bar-f_1 --> ZZ, while for the latter in annihilation f_1 bar-f_1 --> HZ and decay H --> Z f_1 bar-f_1 channels. We briefly describe additional precomputation modules which were not covered in the previous paper. For the processes f_1 bar-f_1 --> HZ(ZZ) and decay H --> Z f_1 bar-f_1 we present compact results of calculation of the accompanying bremsstrahlung and discuss exhaustive numerical results. As applications there are two types of the Monte Carlo generators for the process H --> 4μ. The first one is the generator based on a single resonance approximation for one of the Z bosons. The second one, exploiting the double resonance approximation, is not described in this article. For the generator in the single approximation we present a short description. Whenever possible, we compare our results with those existing in the literature. For example, we present a comparison of the results for H --> 4 μdecay with those obtained by MC generator Prophecy4f.

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.
