A new theoretical study reports three-loop heavy-to-light QCD form factors and uses them to supply higher-order inputs for inclusive B-decay calculations. Its preliminary semileptonic result points to a lower partial rate and a possible rise in the inclusive Vub value, while the perturbative tail and full uncertainty analysis remain unfinished.
A new preprint finds that the K+/π+ “horn” changes with collision-system size, but no tested model accounts for the full pattern from proton-proton to lead-lead collisions.
A preprint tests a guarded local language-model pipeline for collider workflows, finding higher normalized pass rates but many altered approvals among deliberately difficult requests.
A theoretical preprint argues that, for light quarks and a small nonzero QCD vacuum angle, suppressing CP violation would also weaken the anomaly contribution needed to address the U(1) problem.
A preprint study reports that a fuller set of Jacobi coordinates changed the predicted tetraquark spectrum, revealing additional resonance poles in strange-charm and double-charm calculations. It also reports bound states in heavier systems and fully charmed poles associated with X(6900) and X(7200), subject to model-specific uncertainty.

An arXiv preprint presents NuGlass, an open-source web application that turns three-flavor neutrino-oscillation calculations in constant-density matter into six linked 3D views. Its two engines differed by no more than 2.3 × 10⁻⁷ across a 42,000-point validation grid at the application’s default refinement setting.
A theoretical study maps a JUNO damping constraint to an aligned axion-like neutrino coupling, while stressing that the result is a baseline-matched scale rather than an ALP-specific confidence interval.
A modeling study reports that charm-hadron ratios differ between jet-contained and inclusive events, while baryon and meson ratios respond differently to relative transverse activity. Both implementations reproduce the comparison data well overall, although BLC-CR + Ropes overestimates the Sigma-c-to-D-zero ratio.
A methods preprint describes ADoNIS, a fully differentiable neutrino-interaction generator that uses fixed-bank reweighting. Simulated tests report agreement with ACHILLES, near-nominal coverage in inference toys and recovery of injected spectra in unfolding exercises.
A theoretical small-x calculation reports that quark and gluon orbital-angular-momentum distributions and helicity distributions share one fitted intercept, while the intercept changes with the modeled number of flavors.
A numerical study of compact lattice gauge theory reports a gap separating unusually small Wilson-fermion eigenvalues from the rest of the spectrum, with their count generally matching the monopole count. The same work finds exponential finite-size behavior but leaves the condensate at the massless point unresolved.
A preprint reports a continuous growth-to-decay threshold as loop size changes in one weak-coupling Yang-Mills channel, under an exploratory infrared cutoff, while the leading-in-colour channel remains unresolved.
An exact proof finds nonnegative Gegenbauer partial-wave coefficients for every mass level and allowed spin in the bosonic Veneziano amplitude from just above 3 to 26 dimensions. It also shows that the upper boundary is sharp because the scalar coefficient turns negative above 26 dimensions.
A theoretical study uses a BPS index in matrix theory to reproduce selected single-minus graviton amplitudes, derive a soft-symmetry identity and match a special plane-wave calculation. The agreement is limited to stated charge chambers and assumptions.
A theoretical analysis finds that entropy inequalities beyond strong subadditivity can constrain holographic renormalization-group flows in specific constructions. Its strongest result is a finite-shell bound that becomes a conditional speed limit on a special Markov face, while several routes to a universal radial monotone fail.
The two tested KTWPAs showed a stark orientation split: one exceeded 10 dB of gain above 1 tesla, while the other lost nearly all net gain by 20 millitesla.
