Learning by Teaching: Engaging Students as Instructors of Large Language Models in Computer Science Education
While Large Language Models (LLMs) are often used as virtual tutors in computer science (CS) education, this approach can foster passive learning and over-reliance.

To facilitate this, we developed strategies for designing questions with engineered knowledge gaps that only a student can bridge, and we introduce Socrates, a system for deploying this metho…

Lipschitz Stability for Polyhedral Elastic Inclusions from Partial Data
The paper deals with the inverse problem of determining a polyhedral inclusion compactly contained in an elastic body from boundary measurements of traction and displacement taken on an open portion of the boundary. Both the inclusion and the body are made of homogeneous isotropic material. Under suitable assumptions on the geometry of the unknown inclusion, we prove a constructive Lipschitz stability estimate from the local Dirichlet-to-Neumann map.

Multiple Axions Save High-Scale Inflation
Many models of dark matter QCD axion requires inflation at a scale $H_{\text{inf}} \lesssim 10^{6}$~GeV and hence does not allow for a detectable tensor mode fluctuation. This is because the domain wall problem forces the Peccei--Quinn symmetry to be broken during the inflation and the axions to be produced by the misalignment mechanism. We point out that theories with multiple axions can evade this constraint and allow for a high-scale inflation with detectable tensor mode. It only requires a …

Non-holomorphic Contributions in GMSB with Adjoint Messengers
We consider models of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking, in which the breaking is transmitted to the visible sector by the messenger fields from the adjoint representation of MSSM's gauge group. We include the non-holomorphic terms induced by the supersymmetry breaking and involve them in the renormalization group evolution. The main impact from the non-holomorphic terms arises in the right-handed stau mass, which requires large hypercharge interactions with the messengers to accommodate no…

Monophotons from Scalar Portal Dark Matter at Neutrino Experiments
In this work, we investigate monophoton signatures arising from dark matter via a $2\to 3$ scattering process $χ+ N \to χ+ N + γ$ that is mediated by a virtual scalar and a Standard Model photon. Since the final-state photon carries a large fraction of the initial dark matter's energy, this process offers a compelling handle for probing scalar portal dark matter scenarios. Their distinctive energy, angular, and timing distributions allow for effective separation of signal from neutrino-induc…

Axion-like particles (ALPs), hypothetical particles beyond the Standard Model, are considered as promising dark matter candidates. ALPs can convert into photons and vice versa in a magnetic field via the Primakoff effect, potentially generating detectable oscillation in $γ$-ray spectra.

QCD-inspired description of multiplicity distributions in jets
We suggest a universal QCD-motivated expression for the Polyakov-KNO multiplicity distributions of hadrons in jets and compare it with data from $e^+e^-$ annihilation experiments. The moments and overall shape of the distributions in full events and quark and gluon jets, over a range of energies, are described with reasonable quantitative precision. In particular, the scaling violation predicted by QCD is seen clearly in the moments and high-multiplicity fluctuations.

Learning Pole Structures of Hadronic States using Predictive Uncertainty Estimation
Matching theoretical predictions to experimental data remains a central challenge in hadron spectroscopy. In particular, the identification of new hadronic states is difficult, as exotic signals near threshold can arise from a variety of physical mechanisms. A key diagnostic in this context is the pole structure of the scattering amplitude, but different configurations can produce similar signatures. The mapping between pole configurations and line shapes is especially ambiguous near the mass t…

For the EMFFs of light m…

Probing Axions via Spectroscopic Measurements of S-stars at the Galactic Center
Axions, encompassing both QCD axions and axion-like particles, can generate loop-induced quadratic couplings to electromagnetic field strength tensors, resulting in oscillatory shifts of the fine-structure constant. Near a Kerr black hole, an axion field with a Compton wavelength comparable to the event horizon can exponentially grow through the superradiance mechanism, potentially reaching a maximum amplitude near the decay constant, provided this scale is below approximately $10^{16}$ GeV.

A flagship application of quantum computers is the simulation of other quantum systems, including quantum field theories. In this article, we show how quantum computers can be employed to naturally calculate Feynman diagrams and their interferences in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). We simulate the colour parts of the interactions directly on the quantum computer, while the kinematic parts are for now pre-computed classically. For processes where some of the external particles are identical, we f…

Exploring Quantum Statistics for Dirac and Majorana Neutrinos using Spinor-Helicity techniques
Recently, there has been interest in the applicability of quantum statistics to distinguish Dirac from Majorana neutrinos in multi-neutrino final states. In particular, debate has arisen over the validity of the Dirac-Majorana confusion theorem in these processes, i.e. that any distinction between the Dirac and Majorana processes goes to zero as the neutrino mass goes to zero. Here we approach this problem equipped with spinor-helicity methods generalized for massive Dirac and Majorana fermions…

A Cosmic Amplification for Muon-to-Positron Conversion in Nuclei
We present an analysis of the lepton-number and lepton-flavour-violating process of muon-to-positron conversion $μ^- + N \rightarrow e^+ + N'$, in the presence of an ultralight scalar dark matter (ULSDM) field which couples to neutrinos. The ULSDM contributes to the effective off-diagonal Majorana mass $ m_{μe}$, therefore amplifying the rate of muon-to-positron conversion to experimentally observable levels. Using existing bounds from SINDRUM II, COMET, and Mu2e experiments, we derive constr…

Polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering as $x \to 1$ using Soft Collinear Effective Theory
We use Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to factorize the polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS) structure functions $g_1(x)$ and $g_2(x)$, and to sum Sudakov double logarithms of $1-x$. The analysis is done both in terms of lightcone parton distributions and their moments. Computing $g_2$ requires subleading SCET operators which contain gluons. We calculate the one-loop matching coefficients from QCD onto these subleading SCET operators, and the one-loop matching from SCET onto the par…
