abstract

The scalar strange-quark matrix element of the nucleon is computed with lattice QCD. A mixed-action scheme is used with domain-wall valence fermions computed on the staggered MILC sea-quark configurations. The matrix element is determined by making use of the Feynman-Hellmann theorem which relates this strange matrix element to the change in the nucleon mass with respect to the strange-quark mass. The final result of this calculation is m_s < N | s-bar s| N > = 49 +-10 +- 15 MeV and, correspondingly f_s = m_s < N | s-bar s |N > / m_N = 0.051 +- 0.011 +- 0.016. Given the lack of a quantitative comparison of this phenomenologically important quantity determined from various lattice QCD calculations, we take the opportunity to present such an average. The resulting conservative determination is f_s = 0.043 +- 0.011.

Physical implications of a double right-handed gauge symmetry

hep-ph · 2026-01-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A double right-handed U(1) gauge extension generates the Standard Model fermion mass hierarchy at tree and loop levels and stabilizes a viable scalar singlet dark matter particle consistent with relic density and direct detection bounds.

Nelson-Barr ultralight dark matter

hep-ph · 2024-05-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Nelson-Barr mechanism yields ultralight scalar dark matter inducing time-periodic variation in CKM matrix elements, distinguishable from QCD axion and detectable via nuclear clocks.

Pseudo-scalar dark matter from a broken gauged symmetry

hep-ph · 2026-06-21 · conditional · novelty 5.0

A gauged U(1)_X dark sector with no charged fermions yields a stable pseudo-scalar dark matter candidate whose direct-detection cross section is suppressed by momentum transfer and a vacuum hierarchy, while relic density and Higgs bounds are satisfied.

Oscillating Imprints of Dark Matter in Mesons Decays

hep-ph · 2026-05-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Ultralight dark matter induces oscillating CKM elements that can be probed at NA62 through direct counting of meson decay events, which avoids sensitivity loss from unknown particle flux.

Reach and complementarity of $\mu\to e$ searches

hep-ph · 2022-04-01 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Derives new physics scale constraints in a six-dimensional EFT subspace for μ to e transitions using data from μ→eγ, μ→3e, and nuclear conversion experiments while highlighting their complementarity.
