A Wavelet-Integrated Search Pipeline for Narrowband Technosignatures in FAST Observations of 33 Exoplanet Systems

Building on prior FAST targeted and blind SETI campaigns toward 33 exoplanet systems, we introduce a wavelet-integrated search pipeline for narrowband technosignature candidates in radio dynamic spectra. At its core, the pipeline uses a Multi-Scale Wavelet Net (MSWNet) to produce an interpretable multi-resolution representation, followed by a lightweight parameter estimator for endpoint localization. Rather than relying solely on hard-threshold drift searches, the pipeline reframes narrowband detection as wavelet-guided feature extraction followed by endpoint regression, morphology-aware filtering, raw-data S/N validation, and multi-beam anticoincidence veto. Applied to real FAST data, the pipeline recovers representative events from prior analyses and produces a compact set of veto-ready candidates for downstream inspection. The resulting workflow preserves interpretability, low regression complexity, and auditable threshold control, making it readily transferable to other radio surveys and large-scale technosignature searches.

Investigations on the charmless decays of $Y(4260)$

Apart from the charmful decay channels of $Y(4260)$, the charmless decay channels of $Y(4260)$ also provide us a good platform to study the nature and the decay mechanism of $Y(4260)$. In this paper, we propose to probe the structure of $Y(4260)$ through the charmless decays $Y(4260)\to VP$ via intermediate $D_1\bar D+c.c.$ meson loops, where $V$ and $P$ stand for light vector and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively. Under the molecule ansatz of $Y(4260)$, the predicted total branching ratio $BR_{VP}$ for all $Y(4260)\to VP$ processes are about $(0.34^{+0.32}_{-0.23})%$ to $(0.75^{+0.72}_{-0.52})%$ with the cutoff parameter $α=2\sim 3$. Numerical results show that the intermediate $D_1 \bar D+c.c.$ meson loops may be a possible transition mechanism in the $Y(4260)\to VP$ decays. These predicted branching ratios are the same order to that of $Y(4260) \to Z_c^+(3900) π^-$, which may be an evidence of $D_1D$ molecule and can be examined by the forthcoming BESIII data in the near future.
