Derivative couplings of a k-essence dark-energy scalar to a 2HDM+a pseudoscalar make the mediator’s invisible width and kinematics depend on the dark-energy sound speed c_s².
Reanalysis of CMS ttγ data shows a 2.7σ localized excess in m_ℓℓγ at 152 GeV compatible with S → W⁺W⁻γ from a narrow scalar, yielding a ratio σ(S → W⁺W⁻γ)/σ(S → W⁺W⁻) = (2.14 ± 0.77)%.
Neural networks for HEP tasks can be fooled at significant rates by subtle perturbations inside uncertainty envelopes, revealing hidden systematics not captured by conventional methods.
Toponium strengthens the spin-singlet component in top-quark pairs, substantially enhancing entanglement and enabling observable quantum steering at 10 sigma and Bell nonlocality at 9 sigma near threshold with current LHC data.
Phenomenological LHC study finds sensitivity to light spin-1 DM mediators in ttbar events and discrimination power from CP-sensitive angular observables in dileptonic final states.
QCD sum-rule calculations give negative binding energies for toponium states consistent with near-threshold experimental signals and a central mass for the triply-top baryon slightly above three times the top-quark mass.
Phenomenological analysis using NRQCD Green's functions and reweighting shows toponium signals may be detectable in single-leptonic final states with LHC Run 2 data.
The paper derives a nonlocal phase-space uncertainty relation implying a minimal measurable length of order L_M and a finite phase-space cell in nonlocal QFT.
Updated non-relativistic Green's function formalism for ttbar threshold production gives a below-threshold cross section of order 6.5 pb matching recent LHC excess observations.
ATLAS data on eμ invariant mass and angle distributions in 13 TeV collisions are better described by ttbar models that include color-singlet quasi-bound states near threshold, with fits showing over 3 sigma evidence and a cross-section matching dedicated threshold studies.
QCD sum-rule calculations yield single-top baryon and meson masses near the top-quark mass, with a few channels slightly below the naive quark-sum threshold.
Near-threshold top-quark pair production cross section at 13 TeV LHC is 11.67 pb with +1.43/-1.47 pb uncertainty, including NRQCD Green's function effects and comparison to POWHEG-BOX.
Mixing angle between toponium and elementary field Ψ is constrained to |θ| ≤ 13° (minimal model) or |θ| ≤ 1° (2HDM Type II/Y) to fit CMS ttbar excess under MPP.
An overview of the contact interaction model shows it describes the mass spectrum and form factors of forty mesons and their diquark partners with comparisons to lattice QCD and other approaches.
