Proposal of unified fermion texture

Abstract

A unified form of mass matrix is proposed for neutrinos, charged leptons, up quarks and down quarks. Some constraints for the parameters involved are tent% atively postulated. Then, the predictions are neatly consistent with available experimental data. Among the predictions are: (i) $ m_τ\simeq 1776.80 $~MeV (with the inputs of $ m_e $ and $ m_μ$), (ii) $ m_{ν_0} \ll m_{ν_1} \sim (0.6 to 4)\times 10^{-2} $eV and $ m_{ν_2} \sim (0.2 to 1)\times 10^{-1} $eV (with the atmospheric-neutrino inpu% ts of $ |m_{ν_2}^2 - m_{ν_1}^2| \sim (0.0003 to 0.01) eV ^2 $ and the $ν_μ\to ν_τ$ oscillation amplitude $\sim 0.8 $), and also (iii) $ m_s \simeq 270 MeV$, $|V_{ub}/V_{cb}| \simeq 0.082 $ and arg$V_{ub} \simeq -64^\circ $ (with the inputs of $ m_c = 1.3 $ GeV, $ m_b = 4.5 $ GeV, $|V_{us}| = 0.221 $ and $|V_{cb}| = 0.041 $, where $ m_u \ll m_c \ll m_t $ and $ m_d \ll m_s \ll m_b $). All elements of the \CKM matrix are evaluated. All elements of its lepton counterpart are calculated up to an unknown phase (Appendix B). Some items related to dynamical aspects of the proposed fermion "texture" are briefly commented on (Appendix A). In particular, the notion of a novel dark matter, free of any Standard--% Model interactions (and their supersymmetric variants), appears in the case of preon option.

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..
