Abstract

This paper is motivated by three issues associated with the supersymmetric extension of the standard model: the $μ$ problem, the possibility of raising the upper bound on the lightest-Higgs mass, and the triviality problem associated with the Higgs sector. A new scheme based on the Higgs-Higgs condensation is proposed, and it is shown that these three issues are well solved by this scheme. As the first realization of this new scheme, the Minimal Supersymmetric Model of Higgs-Higgs Condensation (MSMHHC) is constructed and studied in detail. The MSMHHC is identical with the MSSM (Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model) in the fundamental particle content, and their lagrangians differ only in the Higgs sector. The Higgs sector of the MSMHHC is based on the softly-broken supersymmetric Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model with the four-field interaction of the Higgs doublets. At low energy, these two Higgs doublets condense into two neutral Higgs gauge singlets, and the low-energy effective lagrangian of the MSMHHC has the form of the non-minimal supersymmetric standard model which contains two more Higgs singlets than the MSSM. Another unique feature of the MSMHHC is that heavy top quark always implies strongly-interacting low-energy Higgs sector, i.e., a large mass for the lightest Higgs boson. A systematic study of the parameter space is also made in order to reveal the qualitative features of the MSMHHC. Finally, we comment on the question "How large can the lightest-Higgs mass be?" with the conclusion that the supersymmetric model of Higgs-Higgs condensation will be the most promising candidate if the lightest-Higgs mass of the MSSM is excluded by the future experiments.

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.
