$A^{0}Z^{0}$ associated production at the Large Hadron Collider in the minimal supersymmetric standard model

Abstract

We investigate in detail the $A^{0}Z^{0}$ associated production process $pp \to A^0Z^0+X$ within the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), considering both contributions from the Drell-Yan and gluon fusion subprocesses. We focus on the deviations from the general two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) arising in the MSSM. We also discuss the contributions of the two $A^{0}Z^{0}$ associated production subprocesses in the MSSM at the LHC, and analyse the dependences of the total cross section on neutral CP-odd Higgs boson mass $m_A$ and $\tanβ$ in the mSUGRA scenario. We find that the contribution from loop mediated gluon fusion subprocess can be competitive with that from the Drell-Yan subprocess in some parameter space.

Covariant reggeization framework for diffraction. Part I: Hadronic tensors in Minkovsky space-time of any dimension

In this paper we consider the general structure of irreducible tensor representations of the Poincaré group of arbitrary space-time dimension $D$ with multiple sets of Lorentz indices and different ways to construct them from basic elements (Lorentz vectors and the metric tensor). Then we apply the same methods to obtain the expansion of general hadronic tensors in terms of these irreducible tensors. We propose to use an effective approach in hadronic diffraction, which was usually called covariant reggeization, and obtain basic functions and tensors to calculate all the diffractive cross-sections.

Extraction of the pion-nucleon coupling constant using the effective-range expansion with the left-hand cut

We apply the generalized effective-range expansion of Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 011903(2025), which incorporates the left-hand cut from one-pion exchange, to low-energy neutron-proton scattering in the $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ channels. The amplitude zero for the center-of-mass momentum near 0.35 GeV in the $^1S_0$ channel is naturally accommodated within this framework. We extract the pole position, scattering length, effective range, and the pseudoscalar pion-nucleon coupling constant $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ at different expansion orders. The low-energy parameters are stable and consistent with established values, while $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ exhibits larger uncertainties. The extraction of $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ is data-driven, relying on the analytic constraints from the left-hand cut and phase-shift data within the one-pion-exchange approximation. Despite larger uncertainties compared to high-precision extractions, the consistency with established values demonstrates that this framework can probe the left-hand-cut singularity.

Sexaquarks and $H$ dibaryons in the $uuddss$ system: a comparison within a constituent quark model

We study the $uuddss$ multiquark within a constituent quark model framework, solving the corresponding nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation by means of a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) method. The total wavefunction is written as the product of a radial component and an exact spin-color-flavor state, restricted to isospin $I$=0. For this isospin, all allowed flavor wave functions are included. We explore two distinct constructions of the six-quark system. In the first one, corresponding to a sexaquark, all six quarks are treated as indistinguishable and the wave function is fully antisymmetric with respect to the exchange of any two quarks. In the second one, corresponding to the $H$ dibaryon, the system is partitioned into two sets of three quarks, effectively mimicking a baryon-baryon-like configuration including hidden color terms in which antisymmetry is imposed only within each three-quark cluster. Only when the system is forced into a baryon-baryon-like configuration, and for certain values of the spin, color and flavor quantum numbers, do we obtain states with masses close to, but above, the two-baryon threshold. Those states are characterized by two loosely bound three-quark clusters separated from one another by a distance of $\sim$ 2.5 fm. The remaining structures are compact objects irrespectively of their internal wavefunction.
