BtoVVana: the package for analysis of $B_s^0\to J/ψϕ$ and $B_d^0\to J/ψK^*$ decays

Abstract

C++ package {\tt BtoVVana} is aimed to extract physics parameters in decays of the scalar neutral B-meson to two vector particles in the intermediate state, and two leptons and two pseudoscalar mesons in the final state. Improved angular moments method is implemented in the package {\tt BtoVVana}: the method uses the time dependent weighting functions and time-integrated observables with variable upper time limit. These observables allow to keep full time informative contents of the decay. By using the package {\tt BtoVVana} it was shown that the statistical errors of extraction of the observables strongly depends on the choice of the angular weighting functions. The best angular weighting functions, which are the linear combinations of the amplitude angular functions, are implemented in the package {\tt BtoVVana}. The first version of the program contains algorithms to extract physics parameters in the case of untagged decays. The package {\tt BtoVVana} and program codes for the channels $B_s^0\to J/ψϕ$ and $B_d^0\to J/ψK^*$ in the Monte Carlo generator {\tt SIMUB} were written in parallel and mutually tested with high precision.

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..
