Predictions for $Λ_b\to Λ_cτ\barν$ in BLSSM with Inverse seesaw

Abstract

The persistent deviations observed in semileptonic $B$ decays, in particular the lepton flavor universality ratios $\mathcal{R}(D^{(*)})$ and $\mathcal{R}(Λ_c)$, provide intriguing hints of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). While current measurements remain limited by experimental uncertainties, their lower central values compared to SM expectations motivate further theoretical scrutiny. In this work we study these observables within the $B-L$ Supersymmetric Standard Model with an inverse seesaw (BLSSM-IS). We emphasize the role of penguin diagrams involving charginos, neutralinos, and right-handed sneutrinos, which induce flavor-dependent loop corrections to the effective $W\ellν$ vertex. These corrections can suppress the light-lepton decay rates relative to the $τ$ mode, leading to a modest enhancement of $\mathcal{R}(D^{(*)})$ and, through the sum rule, $\mathcal{R}(Λ_c)$. We present updated numerical results illustrating the correlation between mesonic and baryonic observables, showing that the BLSSM-IS framework provides a natural and testable explanation of the current data. Our findings underline the importance of upcoming precision measurements at Belle II and the LHCb upgrade in clarifying the possible role of supersymmetry in lepton flavor universality violation.

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).

Unveiling the Collins-Soper kernel in inclusive DIS at threshold

We revisit the factorization of inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS) near the kinematic threshold in terms of collinear, off-light-cone operators. At threshold, particle production develops around two opposite near-light-cone directions in close analogy with transverse-momentum-dependent semi-inclusive DIS. The Collins-Soper kernel then emerges as the universal function governing the rapidity evolution of the relevant parton correlators in both cases. Our new framework also clarifies outstanding issues related to soft radiation and rapidity divergences at threshold.

Novel Light Dark Matter Detection with Quantum Parity Detector Using Qubit Arrays

We present the design and the sensitivity reach of the Qubit-based Light Dark Matter detection experiment. We propose the novel two-chip design to reduce signal dissipation, with quantum parity measurement to enhance single-phonon detection sensitivity. We demonstrate the performance of the detector with full phonon and quasiparticle simulations. The experiment is projected to detect $\gtrsim 30$ meV energy deposition with nearly $100\%$ efficiency and high energy resolution. The sensitivity to $m_χ\gtrsim 0.01$ MeV dark matter scattering cross section is expected to be advanced by orders of magnitude for both light and heavy mediators, and similar improvements will be achieved for axion and dark photon absorption in the $0.04$-$0.2$ eV mass range.
