Abstract

An important problem in the particle physics is interaction of the Higgs boson with the fermions. It is in the processes, which involve $h f f $ interaction, the manifestations of $CP$ violation are possible. This in turn can be helpful in solving the problem of the dominance of matter over antimatter in the Universe. In this connection, in the present paper, the effect of longitudinal polarization of leptons and quarks produced in the decay of the Higgs boson is investigated and calculated. We consider the case in which the Higgs boson interacts with fermions via a mixture of scalar and pseudoscalar couplings. Under this assumption, the longitudinal polarization can acquire non-zero values due to imaginary part of loop corrections to tree-level amplitudes. This polarization is a direct signature of the $CP$ violation in the Higgs sector. Effects of the longitudinal polarization of $τ$ leptons on the energy distribution of the pions in the two-step Higgs-boson decay $h \to τ^- τ^+ \to π^- ν_τπ^+ \barν_τ$ are also studied, and the energy asymmetry with corresponding moments are calculated.

Exploring the Singlino-dominated Thermal Neutralino Dark Matter in the $Z_3$ invariant NMSSM

We examine the parameter space of the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) with Singlino-dominated neutralino $\widetildeχ_1^0$ as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). Our study focuses on identifying the regions within this parameter space that produce a thermal relic abundance of $\widetildeχ_1^0$ smaller than the observed cold dark matter relic density while remaining consistent with constraints from LEP measurements, low-energy experiments, Higgs measurements, LHC data, and dark matter direct detection experiments. We identify the dominant annihilation modes of the LSP neutralino across varying LSP mass ranges $\sim \mathcal{O}(1)-\mathcal{O}(10^{3})~$GeV. Furthermore, we conduct a benchmark study to assess the production rates of triple-boson final states emerging from direct electroweakino pair production at the LHC. Drawing insights from these findings, we perform a detailed collider analysis to explore the future potential of probing the triple-boson final states involving a light Higgs boson at the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC).

A Finite-History Interpretation of the AMS-02 Positron Spectrum

I examine whether the separation between the characteristic energy scales of cosmic-ray electrons and positrons can be understood as a finite-history effect, without introducing a separate dominant source specifically to generate the high-energy positron feature. In this description the positron retains the opposite Dirac phase orientation relative to ordinary matter clocks, while local interactions and positive physical energies remain unchanged. Reduced accumulated overlap with the matter-defined Galactic environment is represented by a single, approximately shape-preserving energy rescaling. An illustrative overlap benchmark moves the broad structure of an empirical electron reference near 10 GeV into the few-hundred-GeV region. A number-conserving spatial-dilution example provides an order-of-magnitude interpretation of the relative amplitude. The comparison uses the published AMS-02 electron spectrum directly, with fixed, rounded horizontal and vertical scales rather than optimized spectral parameters. Known populations, including pulsars, may contribute subleading components in this interpretation. The resulting characteristic-scale displacement and geometrical amplitude interpretation provide a possible physical account of the positron spectral hierarchy.

A Common Antimatter Response in AMS-02 Positrons and Antiprotons

I present a common finite-history picture for the contrasting spectra of cosmic-ray positrons and antiprotons. Particles and antiparticles retain opposite Dirac phase orientations relative to ordinary matter clocks, while local interactions and positive physical energies remain unchanged. The finite-history description assigns their accumulated response a different overlap with the matter-defined Galactic environment. Its leading effect is represented by a single, approximately shape-preserving rescaling. For positrons, an illustrative overlap benchmark moves the broad structure of an empirical electron reference near 10 GeV into the few-hundred-GeV region, without introducing a separate dominant source specifically to generate that feature. A number-conserving spatial-dilution example provides an order-of-magnitude interpretation of the relative amplitude. For antiprotons, ordinary secondary production supplies an approximately power-law reference; a scale-neutral response preserves its index and gives a nearly constant antiproton-to-proton ratio. Direct comparisons with the published AMS-02 spectra illustrate these two outcomes using fixed, rounded scales. The resulting characteristic-scale displacement and spectral-index preservation provide a unified physical organization of two otherwise different antimatter observations.
