Title: Designing phase sensitive probes of monopole superconducting order
Distinct from familiar s -, p -, or d -wave pairings, the monopole superconducting order represents a novel class of pairing order arising from nontrivial monopole charge of the Cooper pair. In the weak-coupling regime, this order can emerge when pairing occurs between Fermi surfaces with different Chern numbers in, for example, doped Weyl semimetal systems. However, the phase of monopole pairing order is not well-defined over an entire Fermi surface, making it challenging to design experiments sensitive to both its symmetry and topology. To address this, we propose a scheme based on symmetry and topological principles to identify this elusive pairing order through a set of phase-sensitive Josephson experiments. By examining the discrepancy between global and local angular momentum of the pairing order, we can unveil the monopole charge of the pairing order, including for models with higher pair monopole charge | q p | = 1 , 2 , and 3. We demonstrate the proposed probe of monopole pairing order through analytic and numerical studies of Josephson coupling in models of monopole superconductor junctions. This work opens a promising avenue to uncover the unique topological properties of monopole pairing orders and to distinguish them from known pairing orders based on spherical harmonic symmetry.

    R -parity can be extended to a continuous global U ( 1 ) R symmetry. We investigate whether an anomalous U ( 1 ) R can be identified as the Peccei-Quinn symmetry suitable for solving the strong C P problem within supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. In this case, U ( 1 ) R is broken at some intermediate scale and the quantum chromodynamics axion is the R -axion. Moreover, the R -symmetry can potentially be gauged via the Green-Schwarz mechanism within completions to supergravity, in order to evade the axion quality problem. Obstacles to realizing this scenario are highlighted and phenomenologically viable approaches are identified. Published by the American Physical Society2025

    This Letter presents the most precise measurement to date of the matter-antimatter imbalance at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair s NN = 5.02     TeV . Using the Statistical Hadronization framework, it is possible to obtain the value of the electric charge and baryon chemical potentials, μ Q = − 0.18 ± 0.90     MeV and μ B = 0.71 ± 0.45     MeV , with unprecedented precision. A centrality-differential study of the antiparticle-to-particle yield ratios of charged pions, protons, Ω baryons, and light (hyper)nuclei is performed. These results indicate that the system created in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC is on average baryon-free and electrically neutral at midrapidity. © 2024 CERN, for the ALICE Collaboration2024CERN

    Energy correlators that describe energy-weighted distances between two or three particles in a hadronic jet are measured using an event sample of s = 13     TeV proton-proton collisions collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3     fb − 1 . The measured distributions are consistent with the trends in the simulation that reveal two key features of the strong interaction: confinement and asymptotic freedom. By comparing the ratio of the measured three- and two-particle energy correlator distributions with theoretical calculations that resum collinear emissions at approximate next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy matched to a next-to-leading-order calculation, the strong coupling is determined at the Z boson mass: α S ( m Z ) = 0.122 9 − 0.0050 + 0.0040 , the most precise α S ( m Z ) value obtained using jet substructure observables. © 2024 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration2024CERN

    Massive scalar fields are promising candidates for addressing many unresolved problems in fundamental physics. We report the first model-agnostic Bayesian search of massive scalar fields that are nonminimally coupled to gravity in LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA gravitational-wave data. We find no evidence for such fields and place the most stringent upper limits on their coupling for scalar masses ≲ 2 × 10 − 12     eV . We exemplify the strength of these bounds by applying them to massive scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, finding the tightest constraints on the coupling constant to date, α GB ≲ 1     km for scalar masses ≲ 10 − 13     eV to 90% credible level.

    The relation between the pion's quark distribution function, q ( x ) , its light-front wave function, and the elastic charge form factor, F ( Δ 2 ) , is explored. The square of the leading-twist pion wave function at a special probe scale, ζ H , is determined using models and Poincaré covariance from realistic results for q ( x ) . This wave function is then used to compute form factors with the result that the Drell-Yan-West and quark counting relationships are not satisfied. A new relationship between q ( x ) and F ( Δ 2 ) is proposed. Published by the American Physical Society2024
