Abstract

Saturation of the Froissart-Martin unitarity bound that the total cross sections increase like log2(s/s_0) appears to be confirmed. Due to this statement, the B log2(s/s_0) was assumed to extend the universal rise of all the total hadronic cross sections to reduce the number of adjustable parameters by the COMPETE Collaboration in the Particle Data Group (2006). Based on this assumption of parametrization, we test if the assumption on the universality of $B$ is justified through investigations of the value of B for pi p(K p)$ and pbar p, pp scatterings. We search for the simultaneous best fit to sigma(tot) and rho ratios, using a constraint from the FESR of the P' type for pi p scatterings and constraints which are free from unphysical regions for pbar p,pp and K p scatterings. By including rich informations of the low-energy scattering data owing to the use of FESR, the errors of B parameters decreases especially for pi p. The resulting value of B(pp) is consistent with B(pi p) within two standard deviation, which appears to support the universality hypothesis.

Higgs-Portal Stueckelberg Dark Matter

We study dark photon dark matter X associated with a dark $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry. To evade laboratory and cosmological constraints on kinetic mixing with the Standard Model $U(1)_Y$, we assign a $Z_2$-odd dark parity to X that forbids such mixing. The leading interactions then arise from gauge-invariant dimension-6 Higgs-portal operators, including both parity-even and parity-odd terms. We assume that the dark matter mass is generated via the Stueckelberg mechanism. In the interacting Stueckelberg EFT, a gauge-invariant dimension-6 parent reduces in unitary gauge to the nominal dimension-4 Higgs-portal interaction $(H^†H)X_μX^μ$, with its coefficient correlated with $m_X^2/Λ^2$, while additional derivative operators are organized by the same longitudinal-mode power counting. We investigate freeze-in production of X from Higgs-pair annihilations after reheating, incorporating both field-strength and Stueckelberg-allowed operators. First, we consider the case in which the Wilson coefficients of the gauge-invariant dimension-6 operators, C and $\tilde C$, are of order unity. Under a conservative single-cutoff power counting in which the strong-coupling scales of the longitudinal mode lie above the cutoff of the field-strength effective theory, we find that the Stueckelberg contributions remain subdominant in dark matter production. We emphasize that this ordering of scales is an explicit assumption rather than a universal consequence of perturbative unitarity. Next, we explore a more general situation in which C and $\tilde C$ are smaller than unity. In this second case, Stueckelberg-allowed operators can become comparable and generate contributions proportional to $T_{reh}^3$, $T_{reh}^5$, and $T_{reh}^7$, including sign-dependent interference effects. For both cases, we show that there exists a wide parameter space consistent with the observed dark matter relic density.

Scaling laws for amplitude surrogates

Scaling laws describing the dependence of neural network performance on the amount of training data, the spent compute, and the network size have emerged across a huge variety of machine learning task and datasets. In this work, we systematically investigate these scaling laws in the context of amplitude surrogates for particle physics. We show that the scaling coefficients are connected to the number of external particles of the process. Our results demonstrate that scaling laws are a useful tool to achieve desired precision targets.

Analysis of the $D_0^*(2300)$ resonance from lattice QCD under chiral symmetry

We reanalyze the lattice spectra for $I=1/2$ $Dπ$ scattering in the $A_1^+$ irreducible representation from [Phys. Rev. D 111, 014503 (2025)] to investigate the impact of chiral and SU(3) flavor symmetries in $S$-wave $Dπ$ scattering and the $D_0^*(2300)$ resonance. By fitting the phase shifts obtained via Lüscher's formula with both traditional and chirally modified effective-range expansion and $K$-matrix parameterizations, we find that the chiral factor shifts the extracted pole mass closer to the threshold (especially for resonances) and substantially reduces the resonance width. These findings are confirmed by unitarized chiral perturbation theory through a direct fit to the lattice spectra with both the single-channel and the $Dπ$-$Dη$-$D_s\bar{K}$ coupled-channel schemes. Once the coupled channels are incorporated, the two-pole structure of the $D_0^*(2300)$ emerges. The trajectories of the two poles are investigated by varying the pion mass.
