Abstract

The Polyakov Quark Meson (PQM) model is extended to SU(4) flavor symmetry by incorporating the charm quark and introducing a finite isospin asymmetry. This model incorporates the light, strange, and charm chiral condensates, along with the Polyakov-loop variables, to describe the confinement--deconfinement phase transition in a thermal and dense QCD medium. The inclusion of the charm quark condensate enhances the capability of the SU(4) PQM model to explore the spatial and thermal resolution of the chiral phase structure, particularly in the crossover and high-temperature regimes. We construct the QCD phase diagram ($T/T_χ-μ_I/m_π$) plane, indicating a decrease in the pseudo-critical temperature as the isospin chemical potential increases and explore thermodynamic quantities related to the QCD equation of state at very high temperatures. Fluctuations of quark flavors, conserved charges and baryon-charm correlations are studied across a wide temperature range. The SU(4) PQM model exhibits good qualitative agreement with lattice QCD calculations. Additionally, we calculate the meson mass spectrum at zero and finite temperature, showing that the charm sector remains thermally stable over a wide temperature range. Overall, this study highlights the capability of the SU(4) PQM model to describe key features of QCD matter at high temperatures and its relevance to heavy-ion collisions and astrophysical studies.

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.
