New graph-neural-network flavor tagger for Belle II and measurement of $sin2φ_1$ in $B^0 to J/ψK^0_text{S}$ decays

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We present GFlaT, a new algorithm that uses a graph-neural-network to determine the flavor of neutral $B$ mesons produced in $Upsilon(4S)$ decays. It improves previous algorithms by using the information from all charged final-state […]

Two-dimensional models of core-collapse supernova explosions assisted by heavy sterile neutrinos

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Core-collapse supernovae can be a copious source of sterile neutrinos, hypothetical particles that mix with active neutrinos. We develop two-dimensional stellar core-collapse models that incorporate the mixing between tau neutrinos and heavy sterile neutrinos — those with […]

Revisiting formation of primordial black holes in a supercooled first-order phase transition

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: We reexamine production of primordial black holes in a supercooled phase transition. While a mere overdensity associated with a surviving false-vacuum patch does not imply formation of a black hole, it is possible for such a patch […]
