Cosmology in f (R, Lm) gravity

Lakhan Jaybhaye, Raja Solanki, Sanjay Mandal, P. K. Sahoo

Summary: This letter investigates the cosmic expansion scenario in the framework of f (R, L-m) gravity theory. The non-linear f (R, L-m) model is considered, and the motion equations and exact solution for the flat FLRW universe are derived. The best fit ranges of model parameters are estimated using updated H(z) and Pantheon datasets. The physical behavior of density, deceleration parameter, and Om diagnostic parameter are analyzed, revealing a transition from deceleration to acceleration phases and quintessence type behavior. The stability of the cosmological model is also examined under observational constraint. The f (R, L-m) cosmological model agrees with recent observational studies and describes late time cosmic acceleration effectively.

Multi-reference many-body perturbation theory for nuclei

M. Frosini, T. Duguet, J-P Ebran, B. Bally, H. Hergert, T. R. Rodriguez, R. Roth, J. M. Yao, V Soma

Summary: This article presents the first realistic results of a novel multi-reference perturbation theory (PGCM-PT) that can accurately describe the ground and low-lying excited states of complex nuclei within a symmetry-conserving scheme. The study demonstrates that PGCM-PT(2) can reproduce the exact binding energies of closed and open-shell nuclei with high accuracy and can capture essential corrections to low-lying excitation energies by including dynamical correlations.

QNMs of branes, BHs and fuzzballs from quantum SW geometries

Massimo Bianchi, Dario Consoli, Alfredo Grillo, Francisco Morales

Summary: Quantum Normal Modes (QNMs) govern the linear response to perturbations of black holes, D-branes, and fuzzballs, as well as the gravitational wave signals in the ring-down phase of binary mergers. There is a remarkable connection between QNMs of neutral black holes in 4 dimensions and quantum Seiberg-Witten geometries describing the dynamics of N=2 Super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories. By extending the gauge/gravity dictionary, a wide range of gravity backgrounds related to N=2 SYM with a single SU(2) gauge group and fundamental matter are explored, including charged and rotating black holes, D3-branes, D1D5 'circular' fuzzballs, and smooth horizonless geometries. All examples share the common feature of photon-spheres associated with degenerations of classical elliptic Seiberg-Witten geometries, where a cycle pinches to zero size. Quantum effects resolve the singular geometry and result in a spectrum of quantized energies labeled by the overtone number n.

Jongkuk Kim

Summary: The recently reported measurements of the W boson mass by the CDF II Collaboration deviate from the prediction of the Standard Model at a significance level of 7 sigma. Additionally, the recent measurement of the muon magnetic moment at FNAL shows a deviation of 4.2 sigma. To address these anomalies, researchers explore the type-X two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) and analyze the parameter space consistent with various experimental results.

Multimessenger heavy-ion collision physics

Charles Gale, Jean-Francois Paquet, Bjorn Schenke, Chun Shen

Summary: This work investigates the production of direct photons and hadrons in relativistic nuclear collisions, covering the entire evolution from the initial instants to the final moments. A hybrid model is used to describe different stages of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, including the collision of nuclei, pre-equilibrium phase, relativistic viscous hydrodynamics, and hadronic afterburner. The study highlights the impact of the pre-equilibrium phase on photonic and hadronic observables, and explores the potential of photon observables to reveal the chemical equilibration time. Additionally, small collision systems are considered to probe the formation of quark-gluon plasma using hadronic and electromagnetic observables.

Wajiha Javed, Muhammad Aqib, Ali Ovgun

Summary: The objective of this paper is to analyze the weak deflection angle of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in the presence of a plasma medium. The Gibbons and Werner approach is implemented, and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem is used to acquire the resulting deflection angle of a photon's ray in the weak field limit. The behavior of plasma and non-plasma mediums on the deflection of the photon's ray in the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity is illustrated.

Summary: This study investigates partonic collectivity in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, specifically focusing on the constituent quark number scaling of elliptic flow anisotropy for identified hadrons. Measurements of the first- and second-order azimuthal anisotropic parameters of light nuclei produced in 3 GeV Au+Au collisions are reported, revealing an atomic mass number scaling in the first-order parameter and a strong rapidity dependence in the second-order parameter. Calculations by the Jet AA Microscopic Transport Model (JAM) suggest that baryonic interactions dominate the collective dynamics in these collisions.

Topology of Born-Infeld AdS black holes in 4D novel Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Pavan Kumar Yerra, Chandrasekhar Bhamidipati

Summary: This study investigates the topological classification of critical points of black holes in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity coupled to Born-Infeld theory. Born-Infeld corrections affect the topological charge of critical points of the charged AdS black hole system independently, while Gauss-Bonnet corrections do not. However, the topological charge of the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory remains unchanged in the presence of Born-Infeld coupling in the combined system.

Reconstruction of ΛCDM universe in f (Q) gravity

Gaurav N. Gadbail, Sanjay Mandal, P. K. Sahoo

Summary: In this article, the authors present explicit reconstructions for f(Q) gravity based on the background of FLRW evolution, revealing the relationship between more general functions of Q and the Lambda CDM expansion history. The study demonstrates that adding extra degrees of freedom to the matter sector is necessary to achieve the desired behavior of the scale factor, and provides a cosmological reconstruction for modified f(Q) gravity based on e-folding. Furthermore, the authors reconstruct the well-known cosmological evolution for specific examples of Lambda CDM cosmology.

Pseudorapidity dependence of the pT spectra of charged hadrons in pp collisions at √S=0.9 and 2.36 TeV

Pei-Pin Yang, M. Ajaz, M. Waqas, Fu-Hu Liu, M. K. Suleymanov

Summary: This study compares the predictions of different Monte Carlo event generators (including HUING, Pythia, and QGSJETII) with experimental data obtained from the CMS Collaboration at CERN. Results show that Pythia reproduces the experimental data more accurately in most cases, while HUING and QGSJETII can only reproduce the data within a limited range. Additionally, parameter values relevant to the study of bulk properties of hadronic matter at high energy were extracted using two analytic functions, and it was found that the values extracted from the RUING and Pythia models are closer to the experimental data than those extracted from the QGSJETII model.
