One of the outstanding problems in physics is to explain the baryon-antibaryon asymmetry observed in nature. According to the well-known Sakharov criterion for explaining the observed asymmetry, it is essential that CP violation exist. Even though CP violation has been observed in meson decays and is an integral part of the standard model (SM), measurements in meson decays indicate that CP violation in the SM is insufficient to explain the observed baryon-antibaryon asymmetry. The SM predicts the existence of yet to be observed CP violation in baryon decays. A critical test of the SM requires that CP violation be measured in baryon decays as well, in order to verify that it agrees with the measurement using meson decays. In this Letter we propose a new method to measure the CP violating phase in b baryons, using interference arising implicitly due to Bose symmetry considerations of the decaying amplitudes.

Observation of a rare beta decay of the charmed baryon with a Graph Neural Network.
Nat Commun
January 2025
The beta decay of the lightest charmed baryon provides unique insights into the fundamental mechanism of strong and electro-weak interactions, serving as a testbed for investigating non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and constraining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix parameters. This article presents the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay , utilizing 4.5 fb of electron-positron annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector.

Large Stokes shift red fluorescent proteins (LSS-RFPs) are of growing interest for multicolor bioimaging applications. However, their photochemical mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we employed the QM(XDW-CASPT2//CASSCF)/MM method to investigate the excited-state proton transfer and photoisomerization processes of the LSS-RFP mKeima starting from its cis neutral isomer.

Thallium-201 is an Auger electron-emitting radionuclide with significant potential for targeted molecular radiotherapy of cancer. It stands out among other Auger electron emitters by releasing approximately 37 Auger and Coster-Kronig electrons per decay, which is one of the highest numbers in its category. It has also a convenient half-life of 73 h, a stable daughter product, established production methods, and demonstrated high radiotoxicity.

Article Synopsis
- The CMS experiment conducted a search for charge-parity violation in decays using proton-proton collision data from 2018, analyzing around 10 billion events with b hadrons decaying into charm hadrons.
- The flavor of the neutral D meson was determined through the charge of pions in the reconstructed decays, and an asymmetry measurement in the decays was reported, taking into account various uncertainties.
- This research marks the first asymmetry measurement by the CMS in the charm sector and the first to use a fully hadronic final state in such analyses.
Mode-Specific Photoresponse of Retinal Protonated Schiff Base Isomers in the Reversible Photochromic Reactions of Microbial and Animal Rhodopsins.

The primary photoisomerization reactions of the all- to 13- and 11- to all- retinal protonated Schiff base (RPSB) in microbial and animal rhodopsins, respectively, occur on a subpicosecond time scale with high quantum yields. At the same time, the isolated RPSB exhibits slower excited-state decay, in particular, in its all- form, and hence the interaction with the protein environment is capable of changing the time scale as well as the specificity of the reaction. Here, by using the high-level QM/MM calculations, we provide a comparative study of the primary photoresponse of and RPSB isomers in both the initial forms and first photoproducts of microbial rhodopsin 2 (KR2) and bacteriorhodopsin (BR), and animal visual rhodopsin (Rho).
