Abstract:
A search for the dimuon decay of the Standard Model Higgs boson is performed using Monte Carlo simulated events to mimic data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 ab

collected with the Circular Electron-Positron Collider detector in

\begin{document}$ e^{+}e^{-} $\end{document}

collisions at

GeV. This study investigates the

\begin{document}$ e^{+}e^{-}\to ZH,\, $\end{document}

\begin{document}$ Z\to q\bar{q},\,H\to {{\mu^+\mu^-}} $\end{document}

process, and the expected significance considering only the statistical uncertainty in the data for a background-only hypothesis for a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV is found to be 6.1

\begin{document}$ \sigma $\end{document}

, corresponding to a precision of 19%. The systematic impacts from the background Monte Carlo statistical fluctuations are estimated to be negligible. Moreover, the dependence of the measurement accuracy on the muon momentum resolution of the CEPC detector is investigated. It is found that the muon momentum resolution must be better than 204 MeV to discover the

\begin{document}$ H\to\mu\mu $\end{document}

process at the nominal integrated luminosity. If the resolution is 100% worse than the designed parameter, the integrated luminosity must be greater than 7.2 ab

Abstract:
Exclusive vector meson production is an excellent probe for describing the structure of protons. In this study, based on the dipole model, the differential cross sections, total cross sections, and ratios of the longitudinal to transverse cross section of the

\begin{document}$ J/\psi $\end{document}

and

\begin{document}$ \rho^0 $\end{document}

productions are calculated with the analytical solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. In addition, we consider the influences of two meson wave function models on the results. Our predictions, which are slightly sensitive to meson wave functions, agree with the experimental data. The analytical solution of the BK equation is reliable for description of exclusive vector meson productions in a certain range of

and

\begin{document}$ \Lambda_{b} $\end{document}

baryons using the method of quantum chromodynamics sum rules. By constructing three types of interpolating currents, we calculate the masses and pole residues of these heavy baryons with different excitation modes:

\begin{document}$ (L_{\rho},L_{\lambda})=(0,2) $\end{document}

,

\begin{document}$ (2,0) $\end{document}

Abstract:
The minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM) is extended to the

\begin{document}$ U(1)_X $\end{document}

SSM, whose local gauge group is

\begin{document}$S U(3)_C \times S U(2)_L \times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_X$\end{document}

. To obtain the

\begin{document}$ U(1)_X $\end{document}

SSM, we add new superfields to the MSSM, namely, three Higgs singlets

\begin{document}$ \hat{\eta},\; \hat{\bar{\eta}},\; \hat{S} $\end{document}

and right-handed neutrinos

\begin{document}$ \hat{\nu}_i $\end{document}

. The charge conjugate and parity (CP) violating effects are considered to study the lepton electric dipole moment (EDM) in the

\begin{document}$ U(1)_X $\end{document}

SSM. There are more CP violating phases in the

\begin{document}$ U(1)_X $\end{document}

SSM than in the standard model (SM). In this model, several new parameters

\begin{document}$ (\theta_S, \theta_{BB^{\prime}}, \theta_{BL}) $\end{document}

are considered as CP violating phases; hence, there are new contributions to lepton EDMs. This is conducive to exploring the source of CP violation and probing new physics beyond the SM.

Abstract:
In this paper, we present the universal structure of the alphabet of one-loop Feynman integrals. The letters in the alphabet are calculated using the Baikov representation with cuts. We consider both convergent and divergent cut integrals and observe that letters in the divergent cases can be easily obtained from convergent cases by applying certain limits. The letters are written as simple expressions in terms of various Gram determinants. The knowledge of the alphabet enables us to easily construct the canonical differential equations of the

\begin{document}$ d\log $\end{document}

form and aids in bootstrapping the symbols of the solutions.

Abstract:
There may be seven

\begin{document}$ \bar D^{(*)} \Sigma_c^{(*)} $\end{document}

hadronic molecular states. We construct their corresponding interpolating currents and calculate their masses and decay constants using QCD sum rules. Based on these results, we calculate their relative production rates in

\begin{document}$ \Lambda_b^0 $\end{document}

decays using current algebra, that is,

\begin{document}$ {\cal{B}}(\Lambda_b^0 \to P_c K^-):{\cal{B}}(\Lambda_b^0 \to P_c^\prime K^-) $\end{document}

, where

\begin{document}$ P_c $\end{document}

and

\begin{document}$ P_c^\prime $\end{document}

are two different states. We also study their decay properties via Fierz rearrangement and further calculate these ratios in the

mass spectrum, that is,

\begin{document}$ {\cal{B}}(\Lambda_b^0 \to P_c K^- \to J/\psi p K^-):{\cal{B}}(\Lambda_b^0 \to P_c^\prime K^- \to J/\psi p K^-) $\end{document}

. Our results suggest that the

molecular states of

and

Abstract:
Recently, the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab measured the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment (MDM),

\begin{document}$ a_\mu=(g_\mu-2)/2 $\end{document}

, and reported that the new experimental average increases the difference between the experiment and the standard model (SM) prediction to 4.2σ. In this work, we reanalyze the muon anomalous MDM at the two-loop level in the μ from the ν Supersymmetric Standard Model (

\begin{document}$ \mu\nu $\end{document}

SSM) combined with the updated experimental average. The

\begin{document}$ \mu\nu $\end{document}

SSM can explain the current difference between the experimental measurement and the SM theoretical prediction for the muon anomalous MDM, constrained by the 125 GeV Higgs boson mass and decays, the rare decay

\begin{document}$ \bar{B}\rightarrow X_s\gamma $\end{document}

, and so on. We also investigate the anomalous MDM of the electron and tau lepton,

\begin{document}$ a_e=(g_e-2)/2 $\end{document}

and

\begin{document}$ a_\tau=(g_\tau-2)/2 $\end{document}

, at the two-loop level in the

\begin{document}$ \mu\nu $\end{document}

SSM. In addition, the decaying of the 125 GeV Higgs boson into a pair of charged leptons in the

\begin{document}$ \mu\nu $\end{document}

SSM is analyzed.

Final bound-state formation effect on dark matter annihilation

Abstract:
If two annihilation products of dark matter (DM) particles are non-relativistic and couple to a light force mediator, their plane wave functions are modified due to multiple exchanges of the force mediator. This gives rise to the final state Sommerfeld (FSS) effect. It is also possible that the final state particles form a bound state. Both the FSS effect and final bound-state (FBS) effect need to be considered in the calculation of the DM relic abundance. The annihilation products can be non-relativistic if their masses are comparable to those of the annihilating DM particles. We study the FSS and FBS effects in the mass-degenerate region using two specific models. Both models serve to illustrate different partial-wave contributions in the calculations of the FSS and FBS effects. We find that the FBS effect can be comparable to the FSS effect when the annihilation products couple strongly with a light force mediator. Those effects significantly modify the DM relic abundance.

Abstract:
The two-photon radiative decay process

\begin{document}$ J/\psi \to 2\gamma+hadrons $\end{document}

was studied, and the main contribution processes,

\begin{document}$ J/\psi \to 2\gamma + g g g $\end{document}

and

\begin{document}$ J/\psi \to 2\gamma + q \bar{q} $\end{document}

, were calculated. With the specific conditions at the BESIII, this rare decay process and the main background process

\begin{document}$ e^{+} e^{-} \to \gamma \gamma + hadrons (q \bar{q}) $\end{document}

were investigated. The results show that the ratio of signal to background can reach 1.24 with optimized selection criteria at the BESIII. In addition, distributions of the signal and background are presented. All the results show that the signal is large enough to be experimentally measured.

mixing effect on the

processes is examined for the first time. It is found that this mixing effect presents significant uncertainty for both the

processes and the

and

mixing effect is highly dependent on four strong non-perturbative phases, a definitive conclusion is currently unavailable.

Abstract:
We study the application of BCFW recursion relations to the QED process

\begin{document}$0 \to e^- e^+ n \gamma$\end{document}

. Based on 6-point amplitudes (both MHVA and NMHVA) computed from Feynman diagrams in the Berends-Giele gauge, we conduct a comprehensive study on different shifts. Subsequently, we propose a new shift (LLYZ shift), which can lead to the full amplitudes of these processes and have several realistic computational advantages. We compare the number of terms and independent amplitudes of this novel shift with those of a few typical shifts.

Abstract:
New physics could be explored through loop effects using the precision measurements at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) owing to its clean collision environment and high luminosity. In this paper, we focus on two dark matter models that involve additional electroweak fermionic multiplets. We calculate their one-loop corrections in five processes, i.e.,

\begin{document}$ e^+e^- \to \mu^+\mu^-, \; Zh, \; W^+W^-, \; ZZ $\end{document}

, and

\begin{document}$ Z\gamma $\end{document}

, and investigate the corresponding signatures at the CEPC with the projected sensitivity. We observe that the detectable parameter regions of these processes are complementary. The combined analysis shows that the mass of dark matter

\begin{document}$ m_{\chi^0_1} $\end{document}

in these two models can be probed up to

\begin{document}$ \sim 150\; {\rm{GeV}} $\end{document}

and

\begin{document}$ \sim 450 $\end{document}

GeV, respectively, at a 95% confidence level.

Abstract:
The positive-parity signature partner bands in ^103,105Pd and ¹⁰⁹Cd nuclei are investigated using the classical particle-rotor model. Based on the systematic study of neighbouring nuclei, the signature partner bands of ¹⁰⁵Pd are assigned to the

\begin{document}$ \pi(g_{9/2}^{-4}) \otimes \nu(g_{7/2}h_{11/2}^{2}) $\end{document}

configuration, and this assignment is also supported by the present calculations. Furthermore, the calculated

\begin{document}$ B(E2) $\end{document}

values of such bands of ¹⁰⁵Pd reproduce the experimental values well and exhibit a decrease with increasing angular momentum, suggesting that these two bands may originate from antimagnetic rotation. Similar signature partner bands are also found in the neighboring ¹⁰³Pd and ¹⁰⁹Cd nuclei. The properties of both bands are in general agreement with the fingerprints of antimagnetic rotation, and thus the signature partner bands of ¹⁰³Pd and ¹⁰⁹Cd are suggested to be candidates for the multiple antimagnetic rotational bands of ¹⁰⁵Pd. In addition, the evolution of the two-shears-like mechanism for possible multiple antimagnetic rotational bands in ^103,105Pd and ¹⁰⁹Cd nuclei is examined by investigating the orientation of the angular momenta.

Abstract:
Excited states of ¹¹⁹Sn have been studied using an in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic technique following the incomplete fusion of ⁷Li on a ¹¹⁶Cd target at a beam energy of 42 MeV. A new bandlike structure is proposed to result from deformed two-particle-two-hole (2p-2h) proton excitations across the Z = 50 closed shell based on the systematics of odd-A Sn isotopes and configuration-fixed constrained triaxial relativistic mean-field calculations. This observation extends the boundaries of the deformed 2p-2h collective band to A = 119 in Sn isotopes.

Abstract:
This study measured the yields of the radionuclides ⁸²Sr, ^83(m+g)Sr, ^85mSr, ^85gSr, ^87mSr, ^81(g+0.976m)Rb,^82mRb,^83gRb,^84(m+g)Rb, and ^86(m+g)Rb produced in ^natSr(γ, xnyp) multiparticle reactions with bremsstrahlung end-point energies of 55, 60, and 65 MeV. The bremsstrahlung radiation was generated using the 100-MeV electron linear accelerator at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, Korea, and the reaction yields were derived from the induced activitiesmeasured using off-line γ-ray spectrometry. To obtain accurate experimental results, we performed the necessary γ-rayinterference corrections. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions obtained usingthe TALYS-1.95 statistical nuclear model code. The calculations were performed using six different level-density models to ascertain which model best fitted the experimental results. The dependence of the reaction yield on the incident bremsstrahlung energy and on the number of nucleons emitted by the photonuclear reactions was also investigated.

Hadron production with collinearly-improved unintegrated gluon distributions in high energy proton-proton collisions

Abstract:
The collinearly-improved Balitsky-Kovchegov (ciBK) equation evolved unintegrated gluon distribution (UGD) is used for the first time to study hadron production in high energy proton-proton collisions in order to improve the predictive power of the Color Glass Condensate effective theory. We show that the ciBK equation evolved UGD provides a relatively better description of LHC data on the transverse momentum and integrated multiplicity distributions of charged hadron and neutral pion production for several collision energies compared with the running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov (rcBK) equation evolved UGD. This is because the ciBK evolved UGD has a sharper transverse momentum distribution than the rcBK UGD. The impact of running coupling prescriptions on hadron production is studied, and it is found that the parent dipole and smallest dipole running coupling prescriptions provide similar depictions of the data. Moreover, the scale dependence of the fragmentation function is investigated by taking three typical values of scale. We find that the differences resulting from the scale dependence of the fragmentation function can be fully absorbed into the normalization factor, which lumps higher order corrections.

Abstract:
Multinucleon transfer reactions near the Coulomb barrier are investigated based on the improved dinuclear system (DNS) model, and the deexcitation process of primary fragments are described using the statistical model GEMINI++. The production cross sections of

Te based on the DNS model+GEMINI++ are calculated and compared with experimental data. The calculated results reproduce experimental data. The cross sections of fusion-evaporation, fragmentation, and multinucleon transfer reactions in the

\begin{document}$ 40 \leq Z \leq 60 $\end{document}

region are also provided in this paper. The results show that in the

\begin{document}$ 40 \leq Z \leq 60 $\end{document}

region, fusion-evaporation and fragmentation reactions have good results in the relatively proton-rich region, but in the extreme proton-deficient region, the MNT reaction is still promising for synthesizing proton-rich nuclei.

Abstract:
Based on the current measurement of the neutron distribution radius (

\begin{document}$ R_n $\end{document}

) of ²⁰⁸Pb from the PREX-2 data, we revisited the recently developed G3 and IOPB-I force parameters by fine-tuning some specific couplings within the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The ω–ρ-mesons coupling

\begin{document}$ \Lambda_{\omega} $\end{document}

and the ρ-meson coupling

\begin{document}$ g_{\rho} $\end{document}

are constrained to the experimental neutron radius of ²⁰⁸Pb without compromising the bulk properties of finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter observables. The modified parameter sets are applied to calculate the gross properties of finite nuclei such as binding energies, charge distributions, nuclear radii, pairing gaps, and single-particle energies. The root-mean-square deviations in binding energy and charge radius are estimated with respect to the available experimental data for 195 even–even nuclei, and the results compare favourably with the well-calibrated effective interactions of Skyrme, Gogny and other relativistic mean-field parametrizations. The pairing gap estimations for modified G3 and IOPB-I for Sn isotopes are also compared with the Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov calculation with the Gogny (D1S) interaction. The isotopic shift and single-particle energy spacing are also calculated and compared with the experimental data for both original and modified versions of the G3 and IOPB-I parameter sets. Subsequently, both the modified parameter sets are used to obtain the various infinite nuclear matter observables at saturation. In addition to these, the force parameters are adopted to calculate the properties of a high isospin asymmetry dense system such as neutron star matter and tested for validation using the constraint from GW170817 binary neutron star merger events. The tuned forces predict relatively good results for finite and infinite nuclear matter systems and the current limitation on the neutron radius from PREX-2. A systematic analysis using these two refitted parameter sets over the nuclear chart will be communicated shortly.

Abstract:
Charmonium dissociation is an important probe of the quark–gluon plasma medium in heavy-ion collisions. The magnetic field produced in non-central collisions can affect the charmonia and their dissociation. We study the

bound state in magnetic field and at finite temperature using the Schrödinger equation. We find that below the dissociation temperature, both the magnetic field and momentum of the charmonia affect the formation or dissociation of the bound state, forming a non-trivial structure.
