Leptogenesis in automatic Nelson-Barr models
In this study, we numerically show that automatic Nelson-Barr models with new chiral fermions can simultaneously solve the strong CP problem and generate the observed baryon asymmetry via high-scale leptogenesis. In these models, all CP violation arises from a single spontaneous symmetry-breaking scale, linking the origin of quark and lepton CP phases. Using conservative assumptions and minimal dynamics, we identify a viable parameter window where successful leptogenesis occurs without spoiling…

US quietly lifts sanctions on Myanmar junta allies after general hails Trump as ‘true patriot’ | The Independent

There’s a small difference between MacDonald and many other social media starlets.
She is 79.
“I was 70 when I started [working out],” MacDonald says on a video call from her home in Ontario,
white hair elegantly coiffed.
“I keep thinking I’m in my 30s.”
MacDonald’s workouts are intense,
whether you’re 30 or 70.
She does deadlifts, weighted planks and kettlebell swings,
and casually lifts dumbbells the size of fire extinguishers over her head.

• Betreiber will Betrieb von LNG-Terminalschiff „Höegh Gannet“ trotz fehlender Umwelt- und Sicherheitsprüfungen bis 2029 verlängern• Ausnahmeregelung für höhere Luftschadstoffe wie Stickoxide, Kohlenmonoxid und Formaldehyd könnte damit insgesamt für sechs Jahre genehmigt werden• DUH kritisiert Anwendung des LNG-Beschleunigungsgesetzes nach Ende der „Gaskrise“ als Türöffner für eigentlich genehmigungsunfähige Projekte

Analytic formulation of Leptogenesis with neutrino oscillation data employing the general parametrization for neutrino mass matrix
The observed neutrino oscillations and baryon asymmetry, unexplained by the Standard Model (SM), can both be accounted for by extending the SM to include Majorana right-handed neutrinos (RHNs). Tiny neutrino masses naturally arise through the Type-I seesaw mechanism, which involves lepton number violation. Meanwhile, the baryon asymmetry can be generated via leptogenesis, where the out-of-equilibrium decay of RHNs produces a lepton asymmetry that is partially converted into a baryon asymmetry t…

Fresh look at the LHC limits on vector leptoquarks
Vector leptoquarks (vLQs) are popular candidates for searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this paper, we present updated exclusion limits on various vLQ species, accounting for all the relevant production mechanisms at the LHC. In particular, we highlight the critical role of indirect production and its interference with the Standard Model Drell-Yan process. This interference can be constructive or destructive, depending on the specific quantum numbers of the vLQ, and significant…
