Measurement of $B to K{}^{*}(892)γ$ decays at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We present measurements of $B to K{}^{*}(892)gamma$ decays using $365,{rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected from 2019 to 2022 by the Belle~II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The data sample contains $(387 pm […]

Quantum similarity learning for anomaly detection

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: A. Hammad, Mihoko M. Nojiri, Masahito Yamazaki, , | Summary: Anomaly detection is a vital technique for exploring signatures of new physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The vast number of collisions generated by the LHC demands sophisticated deep learning techniques. […]

Entanglement asymmetry and symmetry defects in boundary conformal field theory

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Yuya Kusuki, Sara Murciano, Hirosi Ooguri, Sridip Pal, | Summary: A state in a quantum system with a given global symmetry, $G$, can be sensitive to the presence of boundaries, which may either preserve or break this symmetry. In this work, we investigate how conformal invariant boundary […]

Cancelling mod-2 anomalies by Green-Schwarz mechanism with $B_{μν}$

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Shota Saito, Yuji Tachikawa, , , | Summary: We study if and when mod-2 anomalies can be canceled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism with the introduction of an antisymmetric tensor field $B_{munu}$. As explicit examples, we examine $SU(2)$ and more general $Sp(n)$ gauge theories in four and eight […]

Crunch from AdS bubble collapse in unbounded potentials

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Kaloian D. Lozanov, Misao Sasaki, , , | Summary: We consider a scalar field theory with a Minkowski false vacuum and an unbounded (or very deep) true vacuum. We show compelling evidence that an AdS bubble of vanishing total energy, embedded in asymptotically flat spacetime, generically undergoes […]

DFT: A Dual-branch Framework of Fluctuation and Trend for Stock Price Prediction

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Chengqi Dong, Zhiyuan Cao, S Kevin Zhou, Jia Liu, | Summary: Stock price prediction is of significant importance in quantitative investment. Existing approaches encounter two primary issues: First, they often overlook the crucial role of capturing short-term stock fluctuations for predicting high-volatility returns. Second, mainstream methods, relying […]

Nucleon Decay as a Probe of Flavor Symmetry: The Case of Fake Unification

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Keiichi Watanabe, , | Summary: This paper explores nucleon decay within the framework of a "fake Grand Unified Theory (GUT)" combined with the Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism. In this fake GUT framework, quarks and leptons may have distinct high-energy origins but fit into complete […]

Configuration interaction relativistic Hartree-Fock model

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jia Liu, Yi Fei Niu, Wen Hui Long, , | Summary: The configuration interaction relativistic Hartree-Fock (CI-RHF) model is developed in this work. Compared to the conventional configuration interaction shell model calculations, the CI-RHF model can be applied to study the structural properties of a wide range […]

On non-supersymmetric heterotic branes

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | First 5 Authors: Justin Kaidi, Yuji Tachikawa, Kazuya Yonekura, , | Summary: A uniform construction of non-supersymmetric 0-, 4-, 6- and 7-branes in heterotic string theory was announced and outlined in our letter cite{Kaidi:2023tqo}. In this full paper, we provide details on their properties. Among other things, we discuss the […]

LHC EFT WG Note: Basis for Anomalous Quartic Gauge Couplings

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Gauthier Durieux, Grant N. Remmen, Nicholas L. Rodd, O. J. P. Éboli, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia | Summary: In this note, we give a definitive basis for the dimension-eight operators leading to quartic — but no cubic — interactions among electroweak gauge bosons. These are often called anomalous […]
