Primary photons, boson star and phase transition

Abstract

We analyse the possibility that the dark matter candidate is from the approximate scale symmetry theory of the hidden scalar sector. The study includes the warm dark matter scenario and the Bose-Einstein condensation which may lead to the scalar boson stars (BS) giving rise to direct detection through the observation of the primary (direct) photons. The dynamical system of the scalar particles, the dilatons, at finite temperature and chemical potential is considered. The fluctuation of the particle density increases sharply within the increasing of the temperature. When the phase transition approaches, the fluctuation of the particle density has the non-monotonous rising when the ground state of the relative chemical potential tends to the critical value equal to one accompanying by the infinite number of particles. Our results suggest that the phase transition in the BS may be identified through the fluctuation in yield of primary photons induced directly by the conformal anomaly. The fluctuation rate of the photons grows up intensively in the infra-red to become very large at the phase transition.

Charged lepton flavor violating decays $Z\to \ell_α\ell_β$ in the inverse seesaw

After confirmation of the massiveness and mixing of neutrinos, by neutrino oscillation data, the origin of neutrino mass and the occurrence of charged-lepton-flavor non-conservation in nature have become two main objectives for the physics of elementary particles. Taking inspiration from these two matters, we address the $Z$-boson lepton decays $Z\to\ell_α\ell_β$, with $\ell_α\ne\ell_β$, thus violating charged-lepton flavor. We calculate the set of contributing one-loop Feynman diagrams characterized by virtual neutral leptons, both light and heavy, emerged from the inverse seesaw mechanism for the generation of neutrino mass. We obtain general analytical results, which decouple in the limit as $Λ\to\infty$, with $Λ$ the high-energy scale involved in the inverse seesaw mechanism. Our quantitative analyses consider two scenarios of heavy-neutral-lepton mass: (1) the mass spectrum is degenerate; and (2) a more complete framework which includes both degenerate and non-degenerate mass spectra. The quantitative estimations we perform in both scenarios take into account upper bounds on non-unitarity deviations in the lepton mixing matrix and perturbativity of Yukawa couplings. We find that, even though current constraints on $Z\to\ell_α\ell_β$, by the ATLAS Collaboration, remain far from inverse-seesaw contributions, improved sensitivity from in-plans machines, such as the Future Circular Collider and the Circular Electron Positron Collider, shall be able to probe this mass-generating mechanism through the decay $Z\toτe$, whose contributions could be as large as $10^{-7}$.

Flux Estimates and Detection Prospects for Lunar Antineutrinos

The distribution of heat-producing elements (U, Th, K) within the Moon is critical for understanding its thermal evolution and formation history. Based on a refined lunar interior model, we calculate the lunar antineutrino fluxes from radioactive decays of these elements at two representative detector locations that bracket the expected signal intensity. The maximum flux is found to be slightly lower than the geoneutrino flux for the KamLAND site on Earth, while the minimum flux is approximately a factor of 9 lower than this maximum value. We also compute the expected event rates for lunar antineutrinos using three detection channels.

Unitarity bounds and sum rules in the SMEFT

We present a comprehensive reassessment of perturbative unitarity bounds in the dimension-six Standard Model Effective Field Theory, exploiting a new formalism based on spinor-helicity techniques to derive partial-wave unitarity bounds for generic $N \to M$ scattering amplitudes. We find that, in several cases, these theoretical constraints are already competitive with, or even stronger than, the corresponding experimental bounds for energy scales above a few TeV. This is especially the case for four-fermion operators under realistic flavor assumptions, where unitarity bounds can be further strengthened by exploiting sum rules. These results provide a valuable and timely contribution towards the ambitious program of new-physics searches with minimal theoretical priors supplemented by restrictive, yet general, first-principles criteria.
