Measurement of the CP asymmetry in $D^+ to π^+ π^0$ decays at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We measure the CP asymmetry in $D^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ decays reconstructed in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the Belle II experiment using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 428 fb$^{-1}$. A […]

Torsion Balance Experiments Enable Direct Detection of Sub-eV Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Shigeki Matsumoto, Jie Sheng, Chuan-Yang Xing, Lin Zhu, | Summary: Light dark matter with sub-eV masses has a high number density in our galaxy, and its scattering cross section with macroscopic objects can be significantly enhanced by coherence effects. Repeated scattering with a target object can induce […]

Wess-Zumino-Witten Interactions of Axions: Three-Flavor

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Yang Bai, Ting-Kuo Chen, Jia Liu, Xiaolin Ma, | Summary: We present a complete Lagrangian describing axion interactions with pseudoscalar and (axial-)vector mesons within the three light-flavor quark framework. This formulation incorporates both the standard chiral Lagrangian and the full Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term. By including instanton effects […]
