Abstract: Information theory has proven to be a worthwhile tool for investigating the implications of the Higgs sector in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) using Higgs information at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) assessed through the entropy constructed by means of the branching ratios of decay channels of the Higgs boson. The present article focuses on the parameter space of supersymmetric extension with an extra term of singlet in light of various experimental constraints. Our findings show the most preferred values of ,,,,,, neutralino lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) , lighter chargino , singlino , and gluino to be around 1.93 TeV, 1.78 TeV, −3.62 TeV, 27.5, 0.012, 665.7 GeV, 740 GeV, 790 GeV, 11.24 TeV, and 3.70 TeV, respectively, that is compatible with the relic density of dark matter.

Abstract: For the static spherically symmetric dilatonic black hole described by the Gibbons–Maeda–Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger geometry, we analyze the timelike trajectories for electrically charged test particles. Both cases of an electric black hole and a magnetic one are considered. Finally, we are obtaining the solution to the Klein–Gordon equation in terms of Heun confluent functions and the corresponding energy spectrum. A special attention is given to the role of the dilaton parameter. PubDate: Mon, 08 Jul 2024 10:49:58 +000
Abstract: There is growing interest in the development of a muon collider that would make it possible to produce lepton collisions at energies of several TeV. Among others, there can be significant contributions to electroweak gauge boson, Higgs boson, and top quark physics. In this work, we pay attention to the latter, in particular, effective flavor-changing (FC) top-quark interactions. We discuss the flavor-changing production processes that can be a good probe of the dimension-six top quark four-fermion and fermion-boson operators in the SMEFT. We consider all sixteen operators that can generate flavor-changing top quark couplings. After comparing with the current LHC bounds, we find potential limits three or four orders of magnitude stronger for four-fermion operators. Concerning fermion-boson couplings, for the tensor operators and , we obtain the highest sensitivity. We also observe that the effective approximation (EWA) does not apply with .

Abstract: The neutrino mass hierarchy determination ( MHD) is one of the main goals of the major current and future neutrino experiments. The statistical analysis usually proceeds from a standard method, a single-dimensional estimator that shows some drawbacks and concerns, together with a debatable strategy. The drawbacks and considerations of the standard method will be explained through the following three main issues. The first issue corresponds to the limited power of the standard method. The estimator provides us with different results when different simulation procedures were used. Regarding the second issue, when and are drawn in a 2D map, their strong positive correlation manifests as a bidimensional variable, instead of a single-dimensional estimator. The overlapping between the distributions of the two hypotheses leads to an experiment sensitivity reduction. The third issue corresponds to the robustness of the standard method. When the JUNO sensitivity is obtained using different procedures, either with as one-dimensional or as two-dimensional estimator, the experimental sensitivity varies with the different values of the atmospheric mass, the input parameter. We computed the oscillation of with the input parameter values, . The MH significance using the standard method, , strongly depends on the values of the parameter . Consequently, the experiment sensitivity depends on the precision of the atmospheric mass. This evaluation of the standard method confirms the drawbacks. PubDate: Tue, 14 May 2024 12:50:00 +000
Abstract: In this paper, we solve the bound state problem for the Varshni-Hellmann potential via a useful technique. In our technique, we obtain the bound state solution of the Schrödinger equation for the Varshni-Hellmann potential via ansatz method. We obtain the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions. Also, the behavior of the energy spectra for both the ground and the excited state of the two body systems is illustrated graphically. The similarity of our results to the accurate numerical values is indicative of the efficiency of our technique. PubDate: Fri, 10 May 2024 10:35:00 +000
Abstract: The measurements of the total cross section of the reaction from the VENUS, TOPAS, OPAL, DELPHI, ALEPH, and L3 collaborations, collected between 1989 and 2003, are used to perform a test to validate the current quantum electrodynamics (QED) theory and search for possible deviations with the direct contact term annihilation. By observing a deviation from the QED predictions on the total cross section of the reaction above GeV, a non-QED direct contact term is introduced following the dimension 6 effective theory to explain the deviation. In the non-QED direct contact term, a threshold energy scale is included and explained to the finite interaction length in direct contact term and in consequence the size of the electron involved in the annihilation area. The experimental data of the total cross section is compared to the QED cross section by a test, which gives a best fit of the to be GeV, corresponding to a finite interaction length of (cm). In the direct contact term annihilation, this interaction length is a measure of the size of an electron . By combining all the data results from the mentioned collaborations, we have at least 2 to 3 times more statistics than every single experiment at high region. This induces the best precision on compared to the previous measurements. PubDate: Wed, 10 Apr 2024 11:50:00 +000
Abstract: The analytical exact iteration method (AEIM) has been widely used to calculate -dimensional radial Schrodinger equation with medium-modified form of Cornell potential and is generalized to the finite value of magnetic field (eB) with quasiparticle approach in hot quantum chromodynamics (QCD) medium. In -dimensional space, the energy eigenvalues have been calculated for any states (,). These results have been used to study the properties of quarkonium states (i.e, the binding energy and mass spectra, dissociation temperature, and thermodynamical properties in the -dimensional space). We have determined the binding energy of the ground states of quarkonium with magnetic field and dimensionality number. We have also determined the effects of magnetic field and dimensionality number on mass spectra for ground states of quarkonia. But the main result is quite noticeable for the values of dissociation temperature in terms of magnetic field and dimensionality number for ground states of quarkonia after using the criteria of dissociation energy. At last, we have also calculated the thermodynamical properties of QGP (i.e., pressure, energy density, and speed of sound) using the parameter eB with ideal equation of states (EoS). A preprint has previously been published (Solanki et al., 2023). PubDate: Mon, 08 Apr 2024 13:35:00 +000
Abstract: The paper is devoted to the study of cosmological models with time-varying cosmological term () in the presence of creation field in the framework of Bianchi type III space-time. To obtain deterministic model of the universe, we have assumed , where is the scale factor, for steady state cosmology and creation field, and shear () is proportion to expansion () which leads to , where and are the metric potentials to explain small anisotropic behaviour of the universe and its isotropy. To obtain the results in terms of cosmic time , we have assumed . The model satisfies conservation equations, and creation field increases with time. The present model is free from singularity, has particle horizon, and provides a natural explanation for inflationary scenario and isotropization. Creation field and Einstein field equations are derived using principle of least action and Lagrangian formulation of variable cosmological term. For illustrative purposes, evolutionary behaviour of some cosmological parameters are shown graphically. The other physical aspects like accelerating behaviour of the model are also discussed. Thus, the model represents not only expanding universe but also accelerating which matches with the results of present-day observations. PubDate: Fri, 05 Apr 2024 09:50:00 +000
Abstract: In this study, we solved the Schrödinger wave equation by using effective potential in an artificial neural network (ANN) for the mass spectrum of different charmonium states, including ,,, and . The ANN approach provides an efficient, more general, and continuous solution-approximating strategy, thus eliminating the possibility of skipping any region of interest in mass spectroscopy. The close consistency of ANN results with the already-reported results from numerical and theoretical approaches and experimental ones shows the reliability and accuracy of the ANN approach.

Abstract: We study the transverse momentum () spectra of neutral pions and identified charged hadrons produced in proton–proton (pp), deuteron–gold (d–Au), and gold–gold (Au–Au) collisions at the center of mass energy GeV. The study is made in the framework of a multisource thermal model used in the partonic level. It is assumed that the contribution to the -value of any hadron comes from two or three partons with an isotropic distribution of the azimuthal angle. The contribution of each parton to the -value of a given hadron is assumed to obey any one of the standard (Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac, and Bose-Einstein) distributions with the kinetic freeze-out temperature and average transverse flow velocity. The spectra of the final-state hadrons can be fitted by the superposition of two or three components. The results obtained from our Monte Carlo method are used to fit the experimental results of the PHENIX and STAR Collaborations. The results of the present work serve as a suitable reference baseline for other experiments and simulation studies. PubDate: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 13:20:01 +000
Abstract: We investigate wormhole solutions using the modified gravity model with viscosity and aim to find a solution for the existence of wormholes mathematically without violating the energy conditions. We show that there is no need to define a wormhole from exotic matter and analyze the equations with numerical analysis to establish weak energy conditions. In the numerical analysis, we found that the appropriate values of the parameters can maintain the weak energy conditions without the need for exotic matter. Adjusting the parameters of the model can increase or decrease the rate of positive energy density or radial and tangential pressures. According to the numerical analysis conducted in this paper, the weak energy conditions are established in the whole space if and or and . The analysis also showed that the supporting matter of the wormhole is near normal matter, indicating that the generalized model with viscosity has an acceptable parameter space to describe a wormhole without the need for exotic matter.

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the impact of a topological defect () on the properties of heavy quarkonia using the extended Cornell potential. We solved the fractional radial Schrödinger equation (SE) using the extended Nikiforov-Uvarov (ENU) method to obtain the eigenvalues of energy, which allowed us to calculate the masses of charmonium and bottomonium. One significant observation was the splitting between nP and nD states, which attributed to the presence of the topological defect. We discovered that the excited states were divided into components corresponding to , indicating that the gravity field induced by the topological defect interacts with energy levels like the Zeeman effect caused by a magnetic field. Additionally, we derived the wave function and calculated the root-mean radii for charmonium and bottomonium. A comparison with the classical models was performed, resulting in better results being obtained. Furthermore, we investigated the thermodynamic properties of charmonium and bottomonium, determining quantities such as energy, partition function, free energy, mean energy, specific heat, and entropy for P-states. The obtained results were found to be consistent with experimental data and previous works. In conclusion, the fractional model used in this work proved an essential role in understanding the various properties and behaviors of heavy quarkonia in the presence of topological defects.

Abstract: The phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and its associated thermodynamic properties of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) are studied in the presence of time-dependent magnetic field. The study plays a pivotal role in the field of cosmology, astrophysics, and heavy-ion collisions. In order to explore the structure of quark-gluon plasma to deal with the dynamics of quarks and gluons, we investigate the equation of state (EoS) not only in the environment of static magnetic field but also in the presence of time-varying magnetic fields. So, for determining the equation of state of QGP at nonzero magnetic fields, we revisited our earlier model where the effect of time-varying magnetic field was not taken into consideration. Using the phenomenological model, some appealing features are noticed depending upon the three different scales: effective mass of quark, temperature, and time-independent and time-dependent magnetic fields. Earlier the effective mass of quark was incorporated in our calculations, and in the current work, it is modified for static and time-varying magnetic fields. Thermodynamic observables including pressure, energy density, and entropy are calculated for a wide range of temperature- and time-dependent as well as time-independent magnetic fields. Finally, we claim that the EoS are highly affected in the presence of a magnetic field. Our results are notable compared to other approaches and found to be advantageous for the measurement of QGP equation of state. These crucial findings with and without time-varying magnetic field could have phenomenological implications in various sectors of high-energy physics. PubDate: Mon, 12 Feb 2024 12:20:01 +000
Abstract: We investigate thick brane solutions in the Horndeski gravity. In this setup, we found analytical solutions, applying the first-order formalism to two scalar fields where the first field comes from the nonminimal scalar-tensor coupling and the second is due to the matter contribution sector. With these analytical solutions, we evaluate the symmetric thick brane solutions in Horndeski gravity with four-dimensional geometry. In such a setup, we evaluate the gravity fluctuations to find “almost massless modes,” for any values of the Horndeski parameters. These modes were used to compute the corrections to the Newtonian potential and evaluate the limit four-dimensional gravity. PubDate: Fri, 02 Feb 2024 07:35:01 +000
