Quark mass dependence of the equation of state (EOS) for nucleonic matter is investigated, on the basis of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock method with the nucleon-nucleon interaction extracted from lattice QCD simulations. We observe saturation of nuclear matter at the lightest available quark mass corresponding to the pseudoscalar meson mass ≃469  MeV. Mass-radius relation of the neutron stars is also studied with the EOS for neutron-star matter from the same nuclear force in lattice QCD. We observe that the EOS becomes stiffer and thus the maximum mass of neutron star increases as the quark mass decreases toward the physical point.

Relativistic theory of the viscosity of fluids across the entire energy spectrum.

Phys Rev E

November 2024

Department of Physics "A. Pontremoli," University of Milan, via Celoria 16, 20133 Milan, Italy and Institute of Theoretical Physics, University of Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen, Germany.

The shear viscosity is a fundamental transport property of matter. Here we derive a general theory of the viscosity of gases based on the relativistic Langevin equation (deduced from a relativistic Lagrangian) and nonaffine linear response theory. The proposed relativistic theory is able to recover the viscosity of nonrelativistic classical gases, with all its key dependencies on mass, temperature, particle diameter, and Boltzmann constant, in the limit of Lorentz factor γ=1.

Probing CPT Invariance with Top Quarks at the LHC.

Phys Rev Lett

November 2024

Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Sussex, Brighton BN1 9QH, United Kingdom.

The first model-independent sensitivity to CPT violation in the top-quark sector is extracted from ATLAS and CMS measurements of the top and antitop kinematical mass difference. We find that the temporal component of a CPT-violating background field interacting with the top-quark vector current is restricted within the interval [-0.13,0.

Article Synopsis
  • This letter proposes a new method for identifying confining dark sectors at the LHC through the detection of semi-visible jets resulting from collisions involving dark quarks from a hidden sector.
  • It explains how these semi-visible jets can produce non-isolated photons and stable/unstable dark bound states, which may not align with current search strategies at the LHC.
  • The authors suggest using a deep neural network to differentiate these exotic jets from background noise by analyzing their unique substructure, allowing for potential discoveries of heavy bosons with masses up to 5 TeV using data from the LHC's Run 2.

Gauge Theory Bootstrap.

Phys Rev Lett

November 2024

Department of Physics and Astronomy and PQSEI, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907, USA.

We propose the gauge theory bootstrap, a method to compute the pion S matrix that describes the low-energy physics of the strong interaction and other similar gauge theories. The phase shifts of the S0, P1, and S2 waves obtained are in good agreement with experimental results. The only numerical inputs are the quark mass m_{q}, the QCD scale Λ_{QCD}, the pion mass m_{π}, and the pion decay constant f_{π} without any other experimental data.

Understanding the strong interactions within baryonic systems beyond the up and down quark sector is pivotal for a comprehensive description of nuclear forces. This study explores the interactions involving hyperons, particularly the particle, within the framework of nuclear lattice effective field theory (NLEFT). By incorporating hyperons into the NLEFT framework, we extend our investigation into the sector, allowing us to probe the third dimension of the nuclear chart.
