QCD-Matched Gluonic Response in Heavy-Quarkonium Born-Oppenheimer EFT: Locality, Channel Factorization, and the Peskin Limit

Abstract

We formulate a source-dependent QCD-to-BOEFT matching for the gluonic response of a stable compact heavy-quarkonium state. The matched complementary-space resolvent preserves coupled Born-Oppenheimer dynamics, while an exact Feshbach decomposition separates channels retained explicitly from sectors integrated out at the next matching step. Spectral separation, kernel analyticity, and joint propagation-source bounds provide sufficient conditions for a local channel-factorized OPE; otherwise low-energy BO poles and cuts remain dynamical. The weak-coupling pNRQCD response is recovered as a limiting reference problem. With the additional leading-$E1$, large-$N_c$/free-octet assumptions, the source-weighted spectral measure reproduces the established Bhanot-Peskin electric moments and dissociation cut. For a Coulombic spin-singlet $1S$ state we also obtain the sequential-$M1$ contribution $c_{B,GG}^{(1)ij} =5πα_s^2(c_FV_{\rm iso}^{(s)})^2δ^{ij}/16$ and the covariant-kinetic seagull contribution $c_{B,\mathrm{dia}}^{(1)ij} =-πα_s^2δ^{ij}/4$. These are identifiable components, not the complete magnetic matching coefficient.

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.
