New constraints on coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering by the νGeN experiment
2025, 49(5): 053004. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adb9c8
The$ \nu $ GeN experiment searches for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ \nu $ NS) at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. A 1.41 kg high-purity low-threshold germanium detector surrounded by active and passive shielding is deployed at the minimal distance of 11.1 m allowed by the lifting mechanism from the center of the reactor core, utilizing one of the highest antineutrino fluxes among competing experiments. The direct comparison of the count rates obtained during reactor-ON and reactor-OFF periods with the energy threshold of 0.29 keV$ _{ee} $ shows no statistically significant difference. New upper limits on the number of CE$ \nu $ NS events are evaluated on the basis of the residual ON$ - $ OFF count rate spectrum. -
Model-independent constraints on the Hubble constant using lensed quasars and the latest supernova
2025, 49(5): 055107. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adbc87
The Hubble constant$H_0$ , a key parameter quantifying the present expansion rate of the universe, remains a subject of significant debate due to the persistent tension between early- and late-universe measurements. Strong gravitational lensing (SGL) time delays provide an independent avenue to constrain$H_0$ . In this paper, we utilize seven SGL systems from the TDCOSMO sample to constrain$H_0$ , employing the model-independent approaches: deep neural networks (DNN), Gaussian process (GP), polynomial fitting (polyfit) and Padé approximant (PA). Using these methods, we reconstruct unanchored luminosity distances from the Pantheon+ SNe Ia dataset and obtain$H_0=72.3^{+3.8}_{-3.6}$ km s−1 Mpc−1,$H_0=72.4^{+1.6}_{-1.7}$ km s−1 Mpc−1,$H_0=70.7^{+3.0}_{-3.1}$ km s−1 Mpc−1 and$H_0=74.0^{+2.7}_{-2.7}$ km s−1 Mpc−1, respectively. These estimates are consistent within 1σ level and align with local distance ladder results. Notably, the GP method achieves uncertainties that are half those of the DNN approach, whereas the DNN method offers more reliable confidence intervals in reconstruction at high redshifts. Our findings underscore the potential of these methodologies to refine constraints on$H_0$ and contribute to resolving the Hubble tension with future advancements. -
Model for Glauber-type calculations of beam fragmentation at low energies
2025, 49(5): 054106. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adb2fc
In this study, a Glauber-type model for describing nuclear fragmentation in light targets at energies below 100$A\cdot$ MeV is presented. It is developed based on the Glauber model within the nucleon transparent limit, in which the Lorentz-invariant phase space factor is introduced to account for energy and momentum conservation. Accordingly, the scope of the applicability of the model is discussed. The longitudinal momentum distributions of the most neutron-rich nuclei (10Be, 9Li, and 8He), which were produced in a few nucleon removal reactions during the 11B fragmentation of a Be target at beam energies of 10, 30, and 100$A\cdot$ MeV, are calculated. The results of the calculations are then compared to the predictions of statistical fragmentation models, such as the Goldhaber model. Using the new model, the asymmetric longitudinal momentum distributions at low energies are explained by the kinematical locus and geometry of the reaction.

Search for the leptonic decay
${\boldsymbol D^{\bf +}{\bf\to}{\boldsymbol e}^{\bf +}\boldsymbol\nu_{\boldsymbol e}}$ 2025, 49(6): 063001-063001-10. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adc11dShow AbstractWe search for the leptonic decay$ D^+\to e^+\nu_{e} $ using an$ e^+e^- $ collision data sample with an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$ ^{-1} $ collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. Significant signal is not observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction of$ D^+\to e^+\nu_{e} $ is set as$ 9.7 \times 10^{-7} $ , at a confidence level of 90%. Our upper limit is an order of magnitude smaller than the previous limit for this decay mode. -
Shadow cast by the Kerr MOG black hole under the influence of plasma and constraints from EHT observations
2025, 49(6): 065107-065107-17. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adb9c5Show AbstractThe study of black hole (BH) shadows provides crucial insights into the nature of strong gravitational effects and the intricate structure of spacetime surrounding BHs. In this study, we investigate the shadow of a Kerr MOG BH in a plasma environment, examining the extent to which the presence of plasma alters the characteristics of the observed shadow compared with that in vacuum conditions. Our analysis reveals that the shadow characteristics of M87* and Sgr A* are more compatible with event horizon telescope (EHT) observational data in nonhomogeneous plasma spacetime than in homogeneous plasma spacetime. For a small metric deformation parameter
$ \alpha $ , the shadow aligns within$ 2\sigma $ uncertainty for homogeneous plasma and within$ 1\sigma $ for nonhomogeneous plasma. Next, we determine the energy emission rate for the Kerr MOG BH and analyze the influence of parameters α,$ k_o $ ,$ k_\theta $ , and$ k_r $ on particle emissions in the BH vicinity. We further analyze the deflection angle in the presence of homogeneous and nonhomogeneous plasma profiles. The findings indicate notable differences from the vacuum scenario, underscoring the importance of accounting for plasma effects in examining light propagation around compact objects. -
Correlations and fluctuations in a magnetized PNJL model with and without the inverse magnetic catalysis effect
2025, 49(6): 063106-063106-8. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adbc82Show AbstractCorrelation
$ \chi^{BQ}_{11} $ and quadratic fluctuations$ \chi^B_2,\ \chi^Q_2,\ \chi^T_2 $ of baryon number B, electric charge Q, and temperature T are investigated in a two-flavor Polyakov loop extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model at finite temperature and magnetic field. The inverse magnetic catalysis (IMC) effect is introduced through magnetic-field-dependent parameters$ G(eB) $ and$ T_0(eB) $ , and we compare the results in scenarios with and without the IMC effect. Under a nonvanishing magnetic field, correlation$ \chi^{BQ}_{11} $ and fluctuations$ \chi^B_2,\ \chi^Q_2,\ \chi^T_2 $ increase with temperature and then exhibit a peak around the pseudocritical temperatures of chiral restoration and deconfinement phase transitions in the cases with and without the IMC effect. The correlation and fluctuations along the phase transition line under an external magnetic field are characterized by scaled correlation${\hat {\chi}}_{11}^{BQ}={\chi_{11}^{BQ}(eB,T_{pc}^c(eB))}/{\chi_{11}^{BQ}(eB=0,T_{pc}^c(eB=0))}$ and scaled fluctuations${\hat {\chi}}_2^{B(Q,T)}={\chi_2^{B(Q,T)}(eB,T_{pc}^c(eB))}/{\chi_2^{B(Q,T)}(eB=0,T_{pc}^c(eB=0))}$ at pseudocritical temperature$ T_{pc}^c $ of chiral restoration phase transition.$ {\hat {\chi}}_{11}^{BQ},\ {\hat {\chi}}_2^{B} $ , and$ {\hat {\chi}}_2^{Q} $ increase with the magnetic field, and the inclusion of the IMC effect enhances their values somewhat. However,$ {\hat {\chi}}_2^{T} $ is altered by the IMC effect. Without the IMC effect,$ {\hat \chi}^T_2 $ increases slightly and then decreases with the magnetic field. Considering the IMC effect using$ G(eB) $ ,$ {\hat \chi}^T_2 $ monotonically increases with the magnetic field, and that using$ T_0(eB) $ is a nonmonotonic function of the magnetic field.
