Electron Excitation Probability in Dielectrics under Two-color Intense Laser Fields
Two-color laser fields offer significantly enhanced control over electron excitation dynamics under ultrashort intense laser pulses compared to monochromatic fields.

To overcome this challenge, we derive an analytical expression for the ionization rate in dielectrics subjected to intense two-color laser fields, refining the theoretical framework intr…

Quark-Gluon Plasma as a Quantum Channel: Entanglement, Decoherence, and Hadronization
We propose a quantum information framework to model the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) as a composite quantum channel acting on a multi-qubit or multi-qutrit color-entangled system. The QGP's effects are represented by amplitude damping (jet quenching), $SU(3)$ depolarizing noise (decoherence), and a thermal hadronization channel projecting onto color-singlet states. This construction captures energy loss, decoherence, and confinement dynamics in a unified open quantum system framework. We analyze th…

A Wide Field Map of Ultra-Compact Dwarfs in the Coma Cluster
A dataset of 23,351 globular clusters (GCs) and ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs) in the Coma cluster of galaxies was built using Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys data. Based on the standard magnitude cut of $M_V \leq -11$, a total of 523 UCD candidates are found within this dataset of Compact Stellar Systems (CSS). From a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) analysis built using this catalog, we find a clear mass-magnitude relation extending marginally into the UCD parameter space. The lu…

Searching for gluon saturation effects in momentum transfer dependence of coherent charmonium electroproduction off nuclei
We study for the first time the transverse momentum transfer distributions $dσ/dt$ in coherent production of charmonia in nuclear ultra-peripheral and electron-ion collisions within the QCD color dipole approach based on a rigorous Green function formalism. This allows us to treat properly the color transparency effects, as well as the higher and leading-twist shadowing corrections associated with the $|Q\bar Q\rangle$ and $|Q\bar QnG\rangle$ Fock components of the photon. While the …

Papanicolaou Stain Unmixing for RGB Image Using Weighted Nucleus Sparsity and Total Variation Regularization
The Papanicolaou stain, consisting of eosin Y, hematoxylin, light Green SF yellowish, orange G, and Bismarck brown Y, provides extensive color information essential for cervical cancer screening in cytopathology. However, the visual observation of these colors is subjective and difficult to characterize. In digital image analysis, the RGB intensities are affected by staining and imaging variations, hindering direct quantification of color in Papanicolaou-stained samples. Stain unmixing is a pro…

X-ray polarization of Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries -- I. Model-independent, time-resolved X-ray polarimetry
Z-sources are a particular class of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries characterized by a wide Z-like track in their hard colorsoft color (or hardness-intensity) diagrams, with three branches: the horizontal (HB), the normal (NB), and the flaring branch (FB). Spectropolarimetric observations with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) show that the polarization in these sources varies along the Z-track, reaching unexpectedly high values in the HB. In this work, we collected all the pol…

I love this. It reminds me of @…’s sidewalk friends cartoons. And also an idle-time game I used to play as a kid in which I’d scribble intersecting lines all over a piece of paper and then pick out and color a picture or pattern in it.

Pentaquarks made of light quarks and their admixture to baryons
This paper is a continuation of our studies of multiquark hadrons. The anti-symmetrization of their wavefunctions required by Fermi statistics is nontivial, as it mixes orbital, color, spin and flavor structures. In our previous papers we developed a method to find them based on the representations of the permutation group, and derived the explicit wave functions for baryons excited to the first and second shells $(L=1,2)$, tetraquarks $qq\bar q\bar q$ and hexaquarks ($6q$). Now we apply it t…

QCD antenna radiative spectrum in dense media: accounting for full jet-medium interactions
We compute the double differential inclusive spectrum for the emission of a soft gluon from a color-singlet $q\bar q$ pair traversing a dense QCD medium. Our results extend the existing literature by simultaneously incorporating both single hard and multiple soft gluon exchanges between the jet and the medium -- an essential ingredient for a complete phenomenological description of jet quenching. Using the Improved Opacity Expansion framework, we provide an analytically tractable treatment, red…

Enhancement of axial anomaly effects in hot two-color QCD: FRG approach in the linear sigma model
We investigate the thermal properties of hadrons in two-color quantum chromodynamics (QC$_2$D) using the functional renormalization group (FRG) method, with particular focus on modifications of the $U(1)$ axial anomaly effects. The hadrons are described by a linear sigma model (LSM) based on the Pauli-Gürsey $SU(4)$ symmetry, which incorporates both low-lying $0^\pm$ mesons and diquark baryons. We find that all quartic couplings are comparably suppressed when physical values of the pion mass a…
