High Energy Neutrino and Tau Airshowers in Standard and New Physics

Abstract

High Energy Neutrino may lead to a New High Energy Astronomy. Neutrino interaction in matter at PeVs- EeVs may behave differently from Standard Model predictions because possible TeV Gravity scenario. While traditional km^3 neutrino underground detector will be uneasy to disentangle the Gravity TeV scenario any new Horizontal Tau Air-Shower detectors at PeVs tau energy, beyond Mountain Chains, will be greatly enhanced and it may probe fruit-fully the New TeV Physics imprint. Moreover observing upcoming and horizontal tau air-showers {UPTAUS, HORTAUS} from high mountains toward Mount Chains or along widest Earth Crust crown masses at the Horizons edges, Ultra High Energy,UHE, nu_{tau} and its consequent tau lepton decay in flight, will greatly amplify any single UHE nu_{tau} track and it will test, at highest energies, huge volumes comparable to underground km^3 ones; observing UPTAUS and HORTAUs from higher balloons or satellites at orbit altitudes, at GZK energies, the Horizontal Crown effective Masses may even exceed 150 km^3. These Highest energies (10^{19} eV) nu astronomy are tuned to test the needed abundant nu fluence in GZK Z-Showering model: in this scenario ZeV Ultra High Energy neutrino are hitting on relic light (0.1-5 eV masses) anti-neutrinos, clustered in dark hot halos, creating UHE Z bosons whose decay in flight may be the hadronic secondaries observed on Earth atmosphere as UHECR, isotropically spread along the cosmic edges and clustered toward few correlated BL Lac sources.

Precision tests of third-generation four-quark operators: $gg \to h$ and $h \to γγ$

We compute the two-loop contributions to Higgs production via gluon-gluon fusion ($gg \to h$) and Higgs decay into two photons ($h \to γγ$), arising from third-generation four-quark operators in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT). Our analysis is performed in the broken phase of the theory, retaining the full dependence on the Higgs and heavy-quark masses. This includes both finite matching corrections and logarithmic effects stemming from the renormalization group evolution within the SMEFT. As a byproduct, two-loop anomalous dimensions in the SMEFT are obtained. We also briefly discuss the phenomenological implications of our two-loop calculations.

Quantum Sensing Radiative Decays of Neutrinos and Dark Matter Particles

We explore a novel strategy for detecting the radiative decay of very weakly interacting particles by leveraging the extreme sensitivity of quantum devices, such as superconducting transmon qubits and trapped ion systems, to faint electromagnetic signals. By modeling the effective electric field induced by the decay photons, we evaluate the response of quantum sensors across two particle physics scenarios: the cosmic neutrino background and two-component dark matter. We assess the discovery potential of these devices and outline the parameter space accessible under current experimental capabilities. Our analysis demonstrates that quantum sensors can probe radiative decays of dark matter candidates using existing technology, while probing neutrino magnetic moments beyond current limits will require scalable quantum architectures with collective enhancement.

The $\sin(2ϕ)$ azimuthal asymmetry in exclusive $π^0$ production

The $\sin(2ϕ)$ azimuthal angular correlation between the transverse momenta of the scattered electron and the recoil proton in the $ep\to e^\prime p^\prime π^0$ process provides a probe for quark orbital angular momentum. We numerically calculate this asymmetry for the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in the U.S. and China (EicC) kinematics using a light-front quark-scalar-diquark model, in which the light-front wave functions are derived from the soft-wall AdS/QCD framework. We also investigate the properties of the valence quark angular momentum expressed in terms of helicity-independent and helicity-dependent parton distributions. This study aims to establish theoretical constraints on the asymmetry sensitive to the quark orbital angular momentum prior to its first experimental measurement..
