PMM-IMSRG emulator for the nuclear equation of state with quantified uncertainties

We introduce a hybrid emulator for in-medium similarity renormalization group (IMSRG) calculations of nuclear matter, based on chiral nucleon-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions and an implicit-reduced-basis method emulator constructed from parametric matrix models (PMMs) which is capable of rigorously estimating its uncertainties via conformal predictions. The resulting PMM-IMSRG emulator enables fast and accurate predictions with trustworthy confidence intervals of the nuclear equation of state (EOS) across a wide range of input parameters, including low-energy couplings, IMSRG flow parameters, densities, and basis sizes. This framework provides the foundation for principled uncertainty quantification of the nuclear EOS and enables computationally demanding applications such as Bayesian parameter estimation using our IMSRG calculations. As a first application, we present results for the coupling constants of the two quark-mass-dependent three-nucleon interactions, recently identified to contribute at next-to-next-to-leading order in the chiral expansion based on a renormalization-group analysis, by fitting them to empirical saturation properties. We then propagate both parametric and emulator uncertainties to the EOS in the limits of pure neutron matter and symmetric nuclear matter.

MOSS-Audio Technical Report

MOSS-Audio is a unified audio-language model for speech, environmental sound, and music understanding, supporting audio captioning, time-aware question answering, timestamped transcription, and audio-grounded reasoning. MOSS-Audio couples a dedicated audio encoder with a modality adapter and a large language model: the encoder produces 12.5 Hz temporal representations, the adapter projects them into the decoder space, and the decoder generates autoregressive text outputs. Two design choices are central to the system: DeepStack cross-layer feature injection, which exposes the decoder to acoustic information from multiple encoder depths, and time markers, which provide explicit temporal cues by inserting timestamp markers into the audio-token stream. At the data level, we design an event-preserving audio annotation pipeline that segments raw audio at coherent event boundaries, applies branch-specific annotation to speech, music, and general audio, and merges the results into unified captions for pretraining. The intermediate branch-specific captions are further retained to support the construction of task-oriented SFT data. The model is pretrained on large-scale audio-language data, with time-aware objectives incorporated to support temporal grounding, and then undergoes multi-stage post-training to enhance instruction following and audio-grounded reasoning. We release 4B and 8B variants in both Instruct and Thinking configurations. MOSS-Audio achieves strong performance across general audio understanding, speech captioning, ASR, and timestamped ASR, positioning it as a promising understanding foundation for future voice agents.

Two-nucleon systems at $m_{\pi}\approx292$ MeV from lattice QCD

Nucleon-nucleon systems in the $^3S_1$ and the $^1S_0$ channels are studied in lattice quantum chromodynamics at a pion mass of approximately $m_{\pi}\approx292$ MeV, employing three $N_f = 2+1$ ensembles with the same pion mass and lattice spacing $a=0.10530(18)$ fm but different spatial volumes. Finite-volume energies of the nucleon-nucleon systems are determined in both the rest frame and a moving frame. The distillation quark smearing method is applied to improve the precision and to ensure the symmetric correlators by using the same interpolating operators at sink and source. The scattering amplitudes are extracted from the finite-volume spectra using the L\"uscher's finite-volume method. At the studied pion mass, both the $^3S_1$ (deuteron) and $^1S_0$(di-neutron) channels exhibit a virtual state pole, with binding energies of $6^{+5}_{-3}$ MeV and $11^{+6}_{-5}$ MeV, respectively. To investigate the effects of the left-hand cut, an alternative method -- the Non-Perturbative Hamiltonian framework (NPHF) -- is used for the scattering analysis and yields consistent results with those from the L\"uscher method.

MOSS-TTS Technical Report

This technical report presents MOSS-TTS, a speech generation foundation model built on a scalable recipe: discrete audio tokens, autoregressive modeling, and large-scale pretraining. Built on MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer, a causal Transformer tokenizer that compresses 24 kHz audio to 12.5 fps with variable-bitrate RVQ and unified semantic-acoustic representations, we release two complementary generators: MOSS-TTS, which emphasizes structural simplicity, scalability, and long-context/control-oriented deployment, and MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer, which introduces a frame-local autoregressive module for higher modeling efficiency, stronger speaker preservation, and a shorter time to first audio. Across multilingual and open-domain settings, MOSS-TTS supports zero-shot voice cloning, token-level duration control, phoneme-/pinyin-level pronunciation control, smooth code-switching, and stable long-form generation. This report summarizes the design, training recipe, and empirical characteristics of the released models.

General Hamiltonian Approach to the $\mathbf{N}$-Body Finite-Volume Formalism: Extracting the $\mathbf{\omega}$ Resonance Parameters from Lattice QCD

We present a nonperturbative Hamiltonian framework (NPHF) to address the general $N$-body problem. This framework rigorously connects finite-volume spectra from lattice QCD to scattering observables from experiment. To demonstrate its applicability, we extract the resonance parameters of the $\omega$ meson by simultaneously analyzing the isoscalar $3\pi$ and isovector $2\pi$ systems. The Hamiltonian unifies single-particle $\omega$, two-particle $\rho\pi$, and three-particle $\pi\pi\pi$ dynamics within a single unitary formalism. Using leading lattice QCD spectra from the Chinese Lattice QCD Collaboration at $m_\pi$ = 208 and 305 MeV, we perform a fit in the isovector and isoscalar channels, accurately describe the lattice spectra and obtain robust determinations of the $\rho$ and $\omega$ pole positions. This work establishes a foundational approach for extracting resonance dynamics from finite-volume spectra. Given the ubiquity of three-body dynamics in exotic hadrons, halo nuclei, and neutron star matter, this general formalism holds broad relevance across particle, nuclear, and astrophysical physics.

A multimodal vision foundation model for generalizable knee pathology

Musculoskeletal disorders represent a leading cause of global disability, creating an urgent demand for precise interpretation of medical imaging. Current artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in orthopedics predominantly rely on task-specific, supervised learning paradigms. These methods are inherently fragmented, require extensive annotated datasets, and often lack generalizability across different modalities and clinical scenarios. The development of foundation models in this field has been constrained by the scarcity of large-scale, curated, and open-source musculoskeletal datasets. To address these challenges, we introduce OrthoFoundation, a multimodal vision foundation model optimized for musculoskeletal pathology. We constructed a pre-training dataset of 1.2 million unlabeled knee X-ray and MRI images from internal and public databases. Utilizing a Dinov3 backbone, the model was trained via self-supervised contrastive learning to capture robust radiological representations. OrthoFoundation achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance across 14 downstream tasks. It attained superior accuracy in X-ray osteoarthritis diagnosis and ranked first in MRI structural injury detection. The model demonstrated remarkable label efficiency, matching supervised baselines using only 50% of labeled data. Furthermore, despite being pre-trained on knee images, OrthoFoundation exhibited exceptional cross-anatomy generalization to the hip, shoulder, and ankle. OrthoFoundation represents a significant advancement toward general-purpose AI for musculoskeletal imaging. By learning fundamental, joint-agnostic radiological semantics from large-scale multimodal data, it overcomes the limitations of conventional models, which provides a robust framework for reducing annotation burdens and enhancing diagnostic accuracy in clinical practice.

Force-IMU Fusion-Based Sensing Acupuncture Needle and Quantitative Analysis System for Acupuncture Manipulations

Acupuncture, one of the key therapeutic methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has been widely adopted in various clinical fields. Quantitative research on acupuncture manipulation parameters is critical to achieve standardized techniques. However, quantitative mechanical detection of acupuncture parameters remains limited. This study establishes a kinematic and dynamic model of acupuncture, identifying key parameters such as lifting-thrusting force, acceleration, velocity, displacement, as well as twirling-rotating angular velocity and angle. To measure these critical parameters, we propose a quantitative system comprising a sensing needle equipped with a force sensor and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), as well as an external camera module to capture image information. By fusing visual and IMU data, we accurately identify the stationary or motion states of the needle, enabling segmented computation of lifting-thrusting velocity and displacement. The experimental results demonstrate that the sensing needle achieves comprehensive detection with high precision, featuring a nonlinearity error of 0.45% in force measurement and an RMSE of 1.2 mm in displacement. The extracted parameters provide an objective description of the operational characteristics and motion patterns of the four basic acupuncture manipulations. These findings provide valuable tools and methods for research in acupuncture standardization.

Finite Volume Hamiltonian method for two-particle systems containing long-range potential on the lattice

We propose a systematic method to block-diagonalize the finite volume effective Hamiltonian for two-particle systems with arbitrary spin in both the rest and moving frame. The framework is convenient and efficient for addressing the left-hand cut issue arising from long-range potential, which are challenging in the framework of standard L\"uscher formula. Furthermore, the method provides a foundation for further extension to three-particle systems. We first benchmark our method by examining several toy models, demonstrating its consistency with standard L\"uscher formula in the absence of long-range potential. In the presence of long-range potential, we investigate and resolve the effects and issues of left-hand cut. As a realistic application, we calculate the finite volume spectra of isoscalar $D\bar{D}^*$ system, where the well-known exotic state $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ is observed. The results are qualitatively consistent with the lattice QCD calculation, highlighting the reliability and potential application of our framework to the study of other exotic states in hadron physics.

Spectral parameters of the $\rho$ resonance from lattice QCD

We present a lattice QCD investigation of the $\rho$ resonance using nine $N_f = 2 + 1$ Wilson-Clover ensembles with three lattice spacings and various pion masses ranging from $135$ to $320$ MeV. For each ensemble, a large number of finite volume energy levels are determined and the energy dependence of the phase shift obtained from L\"uscher's finite volume method. The mass and width of the $\rho$ resonance are then extracted by assuming the Breit-Wigner form. The mass and width are extrapolated to the physical pion mass and continuum limit ($\mathcal{O}(a^2)$) using a linear function of $a^2$ and $m^2_\pi$. The extrapolated values for the mass and width in the Breit-Wigner form are $(m_\rho,\,\Gamma_\rho) = (781.6\pm10.0,\, 146.5\pm 9.9)$ MeV, which are in good agreement with experiment. An alternative method of analysis, based on Hamiltonian effective field theory, involves directly fitting the lattice energy levels and accounting for the quark mass dependence of the hadronic loop diagrams which yield the leading and next-to-leading non-analytic behaviour. This approach also yields consistent $\rho$ parameters at the physical point. This represents the most precise determination to date of the mass and width of a hadron which is unstable under strong decay, achieved through comprehensive lattice QCD calculations and methods of analysis.

A Three-Coupled-Channel Analysis of $Z_c(3900)$ Involving $D\bar{D}^*$, $\pi J/\psi$, and $\rho \eta_c $

In this work, we conduct a three-coupled-channel analysis of the $Z_c(3900)$ structure, focusing on the $D\bar{D}^*$, $J/\psi \pi$, and $\rho \eta_c$ channels, based on the one-boson exchange model. Drawing from previous study on the exotic state $T_{cc}$, we only utilize one more parameter to construct the interactions between the channels. Our model successfully reproduces the experimental line shapes of the invariant mass distribution at $\sqrt{s} = 4.23$ and $4.26$ GeV for the three channels. Additionally, the finite-volume energy levels in our model show agreement with current LQCD conclusion. Detailed analysis suggests that the $Z_c(3900)$ peaks in the $\pi J/\psi$ and $\rho \eta_c$ distributions primarily arise from the triangle loop involving the $D_1 \bar{D} D^*$ intermediate system. In the $D\bar{D}^*$ distribution, the threshold peak is generated by the cascade decay mechanism enhanced by a triangle diagram. Moreover, we find a virtual pole located far from the threshold, indicating that $Z_c(3900)$ peaks are not associated with physical pole. We conclude that the $Z_c(3900)$ peaks are predominantly caused by the threshold cusp.

Study of the pion-mass dependence of $\rho$-meson properties in lattice QCD

We collect spectra extracted in the $I=\ell=1$ $\pi\pi$ sector provided by various lattice QCD collaborations and study the $m_\pi$ dependence of $\rho$-meson properties using Hamiltonian Effective Field Theory (HEFT). In this unified analysis, the coupling constant and cutoff mass, characterizing the $\rho - \pi \pi$ vertex, are both found to be weakly dependent on $m_\pi$, while the mass of the bare $\rho$, associated with a simple quark-model state, shows a linear dependence on $m_\pi^2$. Both the lattice results and experimental data can be described well. Drawing on HEFT's ability to describe the pion mass dependence of resonances in a single formalism, we map the dependence of the phase shift as a function of $m_\pi$, and expose interesting discrepancies in contemporary lattice QCD results.

Research on the Phase space of three- and four-body final states process

The analytical formulae for the phase space factors and the three-momenta of three- and four-body final states are derived for all sets of independent kinematic variables containing invariant mass variables. These formulae will help experimental physicist to perform the data analysis. As an example, we show how to use these formulae to distinguish the different mechanisms of $e+p\to e+J/\psi+ p$ process for searching the signals of $P_c$ states at the energy region of Electron-Ion collider at China (EicC).
