Analysis

This paper proposes a novel approach to understanding hadron mass spectra by applying open string theory. The key contribution is the consistent fitting of both meson and baryon spectra using a single Hagedorn temperature, aligning with lattice-QCD results. The implication of diquarks in the baryon sector further strengthens the connection to Regge phenomenology and offers insights into quark deconfinement.
Reference

The consistent value for the Hagedorn temperature, $T_{ m H} \simeq 0.34\, ext{GeV}$, for both mesons and baryons.

Coronal Shock and Solar Eruption Analysis

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper investigates the relationship between coronal shock waves, solar energetic particles, and radio emissions during a powerful solar eruption on December 31, 2023. It uses a combination of observational data and simulations to understand the physical processes involved, particularly focusing on the role of high Mach number shock regions in energetic particle production and radio burst generation. The study provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of solar eruptions and their impact on the heliosphere.
Reference

The study provides additional evidence that high-$M_A$ regions of coronal shock surface are instrumental in energetic particle phenomenology.

Gapped Unparticles in Inflation

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper explores a novel scenario for a strongly coupled spectator sector during inflation, introducing "gapped unparticles." It investigates the phenomenology of these particles, which combine properties of particles and unparticles, and how they affect primordial density perturbations. The paper's significance lies in its exploration of new physics beyond the standard model and its potential to generate observable signatures in the cosmic microwave background.
Reference

The phenomenology of the resulting correlators presents some novel features, such as oscillations with an envelope controlled by the anomalous dimension, rather than the usual value of 3/2.

2HDMs with Gauged U(1): Alive or Dead?

Published:Dec 29, 2025 13:16

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper investigates Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) with an additional U(1) gauge symmetry, exploring their phenomenology and constraints from LHC data. The authors find that the simplest models are excluded by four-lepton searches, but introduce vector-like fermions to evade these constraints. They then analyze specific benchmark models (U(1)_H and U(1)_R) and identify allowed parameter space, suggesting future collider experiments can further probe these models.
Reference

The paper finds that the minimum setup of these 2HDMs has been excluded by current data for four lepton searches at LHC. However, introducing vector-like fermions can avoid these constraints.

Delayed Outflows Explain Late Radio Flares in TDEs

Published:Dec 29, 2025 07:20

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper addresses the challenge of explaining late-time radio flares observed in tidal disruption events (TDEs). It compares different outflow models (instantaneous wind, delayed wind, and delayed jet) to determine which best fits the observed radio light curves. The study's significance lies in its contribution to understanding the physical mechanisms behind TDEs and the nature of their outflows, particularly the delayed ones. The paper emphasizes the importance of multiwavelength observations to differentiate between the proposed models.
Reference

The delayed wind model provides a consistent explanation for the observed radio phenomenology, successfully reproducing events both with and without delayed radio flares.

Analysis

This paper proposes a classically scale-invariant extension of the Zee-Babu model, a model for neutrino masses, incorporating a U(1)B-L gauge symmetry and a Z2 symmetry to provide a dark matter candidate. The key feature is radiative symmetry breaking, where the breaking scale is linked to neutrino mass generation, lepton flavor violation, and dark matter phenomenology. The paper's significance lies in its potential to be tested through gravitational wave detection, offering a concrete way to probe classical scale invariance and its connection to fundamental particle physics.
Reference

The scenario can simultaneously accommodate the observed neutrino masses and mixings, an appropriately low lepton flavour violation and the observed dark matter relic density for 10 TeV ≲ vBL ≲ 55 TeV. In addition, the very radiative nature of the set-up signals a strong first order phase transition in the presence of a non-zero temperature.

Analysis

This paper explores the unification of gauge couplings within the framework of Gauge-Higgs Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) in a 5D Anti-de Sitter space. It addresses the potential to solve Standard Model puzzles like the Higgs mass and fermion hierarchies, while also predicting observable signatures at the LHC. The use of Planck-brane correlators for consistent coupling evolution is a key methodological aspect, allowing for a more accurate analysis than previous approaches. The paper revisits and supplements existing results, including brane masses and the Higgs vacuum expectation value, and applies the findings to a specific SU(6) model, assessing the quality of unification.
Reference

The paper finds that grand unification is possible in such models in the presence of moderately large brane kinetic terms.

CT25: Progress toward next-generation PDFs for precision phenomenology at the LHC

Published:Dec 22, 2025 19:00
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This article reports on advancements in the development of next-generation PDFs (Parton Distribution Functions) for high-precision physics analysis at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The focus is on improving the accuracy of theoretical predictions for particle collisions, which is crucial for interpreting experimental results and searching for new physics. The use of 'precision phenomenology' suggests a focus on detailed and accurate modeling of particle interactions.
