Neutrinoless double beta ($0νββ$) decay, an important low-energy process, serves not only as a potential test of the Majorana nature of neutrinos, but also as a sensitive probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this study, the supersymmetric left-right model is explored to investigate its impact on $0νββ$ decay. Although the process takes place at low energies as compared to the electroweak scale, it carries the potential to provide indirect hints about the parity-breaking sca…

We study neutrino mass generation and dark matter in a left-right symmetric model. The model is based on an $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge theory with a softly broken parity symmetry. Masses of the charged leptons and neutrinos are generated radiatively at one-loop and three-loop level respectively, through their interactions with newly introduced neutral fermion and scalar particles. A mass hierarchy of those new particles is required to reproduce the observed p…

Yes, The News is reaching new heights of bad, but I dont think keywords are really the cause of my suffering.
So I ask myself why they irk me and it generally comes back that I want control over others, which, as tyrants inevitably find out, isn't really possible. Hard enough controlling myself!
So, given what feeble control I have, I ask what needs doing, here, now, and find I need to know what's happening around me, here, now, to answer 😅
My strategy for news is roughly
- compare multiple sources eg AP, Reuters etc
- ignore what anyone says
- ignore claims what they will do or have done
- ignore predictions and interpretations
- be skeptical of causal inferences
- attend to what was actually done
The first and last when combined are often amusing in which actual observations are included or left out. Humans are awfully clever, and so cunning in their rhetoric 🤣

foursquare: Foursquare NYC restaurants (2012)
Two bipartite networks of users and restaurant locations in New York City on Foursquare, from 24 October 2011 to 20 February 2012. In one network, an edge denotes a check-in event of a user at a restaurant. In the other, an edge exists if a user left a tip/comment on a restaurant. Metadata include comments.
This network has 4936 nodes and 27149 edges.

As the federal government begins to implement President Trump’s new national security directive
to investigate the so-called
radical left as domestic terrorists,
a little known FBI organization,
located in an affluent and leafy suburb of Northern Virginia,
is at the center of it all.
Based just seven miles from CIA headquarters,
the Threat Screening Center
has a secret budget and a classified personnel count.
The nondescript cluster of g…

The department said the offensively titled "Operation Catahoula Crunch"

A comprehensive study of $Λ_c^- \to Λ(\to p π) μ^- \bar ν_μ$ incorporating SMEFT implications and right-handed neutrino
Charm baryon decays provide a complementary probe of new physics beyond the Standard Model. We study the decay $Λ_c^- \to Λ(p π) μ^- \bar ν_μ$ in a model-independent effective field theory framework. This study covers both the left-handed and right-handed neutrino interactions in the $c \to s μν_μ$ transition. For the left-handed neutrino operators, we incorporate the implications of the Standard Model effective field theory and do a global fit considering several observables sensitive…

The US and Ukraine have drafted a new 19-point peace deal,
but left the most politically sensitive elements to be decided by the countries' presidents,
according to Ukrainian first deputy foreign minister Sergiy Kyslytsya.
Washington had previously put Kyiv under pressure to agree a 28-point proposal that had been developed by US and Russian officials and crossed several long-standing Ukrainian red lines.
Kyslytsya, who was in the room as par…

Trump has signed a little-noticed national security directive
identifying “anti-Christian” and “anti-American” views as
indicators of radical left violence.
Called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7,
it’s being referred to as “NSPM-7” by administration insiders.
“This is the first time in American history that there is an
all-of-government effort to dismantle left wing terrorism,”
Trump’s homeland security advisor Stephen Miller said, refer…

'Whether it’s left Labour MPs worried about retaliation from the whips, “Your Party” organisers arguing over the finances and structures of a new left vehicle, or Greens whose leaders still view a rapidly militarising EU as some kind of progressive force, we need more seriousness and urgency over the deadly threat to us all posed by the ruling-class drive to war.'
