In heavy-ion collisions, the initial collision geometry and its fluctuations drive the collective expansion of final-state hadrons in the transverse plane. However, longitudinal fluctuations induce event-plane twist and flow magnitude asymmetries, collectively known as longitudinal flow decorrelation. Using a multi-phase transport...
The uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detector serves as a fundamental model in relativistic quantum metrology. While previous studies have mainly concentrated on single-parameter estimation via quantum Cramér-Rao bound, the multi-parameter case remains significantly underexplored. In this paper, we investigate the multiparameter...
We investigate the phase ordering dynamics of a uniform two-dimensional Bose gas quenched to a finite temperature in the superfluid phase. Starting from a defect-rich, far-from-equilibrium state, we model the subsequent evolution with the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which conserves both energy and particle number. By tuning...
This study explores the physicochemical modifications and antimicrobial potential of plasma activated saline generated by exposing Sodium Chloride and Ringer solution to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma. Plasma activation produced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leading to changes in pH, redox potential,...
The locality of field theories strongly constrains the possible behaviors of symmetry-twisted partition functions, and thus they serve as order parameters to detect low-energy realizations of global symmetries, such as spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). We demonstrate that the tensor renormalization group (TRG) offers an efficient...
We study the Higgs boson decays $h \to Zγ$ and $h \to m_VZ$ in a model with vectorlike fermions and $U(1)_X$ symmetry ($U(1)_X$VLFM), where $m_V$ is a vector meson ($ρ,\ ω,\ φ,\ J/ψ,\ Υ$). The exotic Yukawa interactions in this model generate mixing between Standard Model (SM) fermions and vectorlike fermions, and this mixing affects...
Subhalo spin is essential for modeling galaxy formation and controlling systematic uncertainties in intrinsic alignment (IA) studies. However, the physical mechanisms governing subhalo spin acquisition within the tidal environments of host halos remain poorly understood. In this work, we investigate the alignment between subhalo and...
Flagship neutrino oscillation experiments depend on precise and accurate theoretical knowledge of neutrino-nucleon cross sections across a variety of energies and interaction mechanisms. Key ingredients to the amplitudes that make up these cross sections are parameterized form factors. The axial form factor describing a weak...
We introduce quasi-symmetry groups in optics emerging from the commutation between mirror operation and the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of light. Contrary to the principle of symmetry inheritance in free-space optics, where the symmetry of any structured field is strictly constrained by that of its source, we show that strong SOI...
The electrostatic charge acquired by powders during transport through ducts can cause devastating dust explosions. Our recently developed laser-optical measurement technique can resolve the powder charge along a one-dimensional (1D) path. However, the charge across the duct's complete two-dimensional (2D) cross-section, which is the...
We propose a data-driven approach to reconstruct the all-sky distribution of the dispersion measure contribution from the Galactic halo ($\mathrm{DM_{halo}}$) through a spherical harmonic expansion, enabling an investigation of its possible anisotropies. Based on the NE2001 model and using 92 localized and 574 unlocalized...
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the most extensively researched quantum cryptographic protocol, leveraging quantum phenomena to enable information-theoretically secure key establishment. Conventional QKD systems rely on authenticated classical post-processing channels to prevent impersonation attacks. However, QKD inherently lacks...
Portable ultra-stable lasers are essential for high-precision measurements. This study presents a 1550 nm vehicle-portable ultra-stable laser designed for continuous real-time operation on highways. We implement several measures to mitigate environmental impacts, including active temperature control with a standard deviation of mK/day...
High Q-factors of microresonators are crucial for nonlinear integrated photonics, as many nonlinear dynamics have quadratic or even cubic dependence on Q-factors. The unique material properties make AlN microresonators invaluable for microcomb generation, Raman lasing and visible integrated photonics. However, the loss level of AlN...
Data for the ${{^{12}\mathrm{C}(n,α_{0})}}$, ${{^{16}\mathrm{O}(n,α_{0})}}$ and ${{^{16}\mathrm{O}(n,α_{1,2,3})}}$ differential cross sections are important for several different areas of nuclear physics such as understanding neutron transmutation in nuclear reactors. The TexAT Time Projection Chamber was used to measure the...
Procyon A is an F-type main-sequence star in a binary system. It has been the subject of numerous ground-based and space-based observing campaigns, providing precise classical constraints, including a well-determined mass. It was also among the first stars in which individual frequencies were detected, making it a crucial benchmark...
Mn-based antiperovskites that exhibit topological surface states show potential applications in spintronics, magnetoelectronics, and quantum devices owing to the interplay between magnetism and topology. In this family of compounds, Mn$3$SnC exhibits a concurrent ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic ground state below $T \sim 285$ K,...
The next-generation ALICE 3 experiment at the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) requires detector technologies that combine fine spatial resolution, fast timing, and an extremely low material budget. This paper presents the design, characterization, and beam-test performance of MadPix, a monolithic CMOS sensor featuring an internal...
Given the intimate connection between magnetic orders and the interplay among multiple degrees of freedom in heavy-fermion systems, controlling and understanding the associated inverse melting effect is crucial for unveiling novel condensed-matter states and their potential applications. Here, we report the growth of single...
We present a numerical investigation of nonlinear cluster lens reconstruction using weak lensing mass mapping. Recent advances in imaging and shear estimation have pushed reliable reduced shear measurements closer to cluster cores, making mass reconstruction accessible in the nonlinear regime. However, the Kaiser-Squires based...
This study presents a static, spherically symmetric configuration in which the interior geometry of a relativistic superdense star is modeled as a three-spheroid with constant $t_1$. The model is constructed using an analytical closed-form solution to Einstein's field equations. Assuming a characteristic density of $ρ_{a}=...
The 1.3 mm ground-based very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), is limited by Earth's diameter, restricting its black hole shadow imaging to only M87* and Sgr A*. Extending baselines to the Moon would achieve ~0.7 uas angular resolution at 230 GHz, enabling shadow detection for a much larger...
The shape-preserving and shape-altering collisions of dark solitons are investigated in the complex modified Korteweg-de Vries equation. The obtained dark soliton solutions are classified into two distinct types, referred to as type-I and type-II dark solitons, which exhibit fundamentally different structural and dynamical...
We study a two Higgs doublet model extended by a complex singlet scalar, in which the imaginary part of the singlet serves as a dark matter (DM) candidate. In this model, degenerate masses of the three neutral Higgs bosons are crucial for achieving consistency with current constraints from DM direct-detection experiments and Higgs...
Large- or medium-scale cosmic ray anisotropy at TeV energies has not previously been confirmed to vary with time. Transient anisotropy changes have been observed below 150 GeV, especially near the passage of an interplanetary shock and coronal mass ejection containing a magnetic flux rope ejected by a solar storm, which can trigger a...
