Measurement of the inclusive branching fractions for $B_s^0$ decays into $D$ mesons via hadronic tagging

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We report measurements of the absolute branching fractions $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to D_s^{pm} X)$, $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to D^0/bar{D}^0 X)$, and $mathcal{B}(B_s^0 to D^{pm} X)$, where the latter is measured for the first time. The results are based on a […]

Gravitational Waves from Metastable Cosmic Strings in Supersymmetric New Inflation Model

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Chitose, Masahiro Ibe, Shunsuke Neda, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recent observations by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) indicate a potential detection of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background. Metastable cosmic strings have been recognized as a possible source of the observed signals. In this paper, we propose […]

Beyond Coleman’s Instantons

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Misao Sasaki, Vicharit Yingcharoenrat, Ying-li Zhang, , | Summary: In the absence of gravity, Coleman’s theorem states that the $O(4)$-symmetric instanton solution, which is regular at the origin and exponentially decays at infinity, gives the lowest action. Perturbatively, this implies that any small deformation from $O(4)$-symmetry gives […]
