Abstract

We perform the most attractive channel (MAC) analysis in the top mode standard model with TeV-scale extra dimensions, where the standard model gauge bosons and the third generation of quarks and leptons are put in D(=6,8,10,...) dimensions. In such a model, bulk gauge couplings rapidly grow in the ultraviolet region. In order to make the scenario viable, only the attractive force of the top condensate should exceed the critical coupling, while other channels such as the bottom and tau condensates should not. We then find that the top condensate can be the MAC for D=8, whereas the tau condensation is favored for D=6. The analysis for D=10 strongly depends on the regularization scheme. We predict masses of the top (m_t) and the Higgs (m_H), m_t=172-175 GeV and m_H=176-188 GeV for D=8, based on the renormalization group for the top Yukawa and Higgs quartic couplings with the compositeness conditions at the scale where the bulk top condenses. The Higgs boson in such a characteristic mass range will be immediately discovered in H -> WW^(*)/ZZ^(*) once the LHC starts.

Flux Estimates and Detection Prospects for Lunar Antineutrinos

The distribution of heat-producing elements (U, Th, K) within the Moon is critical for understanding its thermal evolution and formation history. Based on a refined lunar interior model, we calculate the lunar antineutrino fluxes from radioactive decays of these elements at two representative detector locations that bracket the expected signal intensity. The maximum flux is found to be slightly lower than the geoneutrino flux for the KamLAND site on Earth, while the minimum flux is approximately a factor of 9 lower than this maximum value. We also compute the expected event rates for lunar antineutrinos using three detection channels.

Graph-theoretic determination of massless modes in latticized theory-space models

A graph-theoretic method is introduced for analyzing fermion mass spectra in latticized theory-space models, including chain models arising from dimensional deconstruction. Fermion mass terms are mapped to bipartite graphs, with fields as vertices and nonvanishing mass terms as edges. The number of massless modes is shown to be fixed by the cardinality of a maximum matching of the associated graph. Moreover, the wave-function support of these modes is restricted to fields reachable from exposed or unmatched vertices by even-length maximum-matching-alternating paths, as characterized by the Dulmage-Mendelsohn decomposition. These results depend only on the topology of latticized theory space and are independent of model parameters. The method enables a systematic construction of latticized models with prescribed numbers and localization properties of massless modes.

Searching for Lepton Flavor Violating decays of the Higgs Boson into $μτ$, $eτ$, and $eμ$ final states at FCC-ee

We investigate the projected sensitivity of the FCC-ee in probing the LFV decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson, $h\toμτ$, $h\to eτ$, and $h \to eμ$ at center-of-mass energy of 240 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 5 ab$^{-1}$. With the clean multi-lepton final states, we consider the Higgs production modes that contribute to $e^+e^- \to \ell\ell h$, in particular, the Higgs-strahlung and the vector boson fusion production channels. The 95\% CL upper limits on branching ratio are found to be $5.94 \times 10^{-4}$, $6.28 \times 10^{-4}$, and $7.37 \times 10^{-5}$ for the channels $h\toμτ$, $h\to eτ$, and $h \to eμ$, respectively. In addition, we also consider the LFV decay of a new CP-even Higgs boson with mass in the range of $110-200$ GeV. The projected FCC-ee sensitivities are then compared to those from low energy searches for $\ell\to\ell'γ$ decay. We find that the FCC-ee sensitivity for the LFV decays of the Higgs in the $e-τ$ and $μ-τ$ channels is superior to the low-energy constraints. However, in the $e-μ$ case, the low energy search offers stronger constraints.
