The $B^0 \to J/ψf_0(1370,1500,1710)$ decays: an opportunity for scalar glueball hunting

Since the spin orientation direction is an important band structure tuning parameter, it is highly desirable to study the anomalous Hall effect in a system with multiple spin reorientation transitions. We study a layered tetragonal room temperature ferromagnet SmMn2Ge2, which gives us the opportunity to measure magneto-transport properties where the long c-axis and the short a-axis…

In this article, we study quantum entanglement properties of the three-body $H\toγl\bar{l}$ decays (for $l=e,μ,τ$) within the context of the Standard Model augmented with CP-violating interactions in the lepton Yukawa sector. Our aim is to elucidate the distribution of entanglement between the final photon, lepton and antilepton across the phase-space. These rare Higgs boson decays occur at 1-loop level, presenting a unique opportunity to scrutinize quantum correlations of fundamental intera…

"Let me take this opportunity to present another painful truth: Oil is in plentiful supply."

Jets' marquee free-agent signing implies opportunity to win Super Bowl led him to Gang Green
As he was contemplating which team he wanted to play for in 2024, the chance to win a Super Bowl championship was presumably at the top of offensive tackle Tyron Smith’s wish list. After 13 years of disappointing playoff experiences with the Dallas Cowboys, Smith, an eight-time Pro Bowler, likely believed the New York Jets offered him the best shot at finally getting a ring, which is why he signed a one-year, $6.5 million deal that could be worth up to $20M with incentives to play for them. �…

Already a Philadelphia Eagles legend, Brandon Graham only solidified that position during Friday's second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Before announcing his team's pick, the one-time Pro Bowler took the opportunity to take a shot at the rival Dallas Cowboys.  After giving love to his alma mater Michigan and doing an E-A-G-L-E-S chant, Graham roared, "Dallas sucks, all day," followed by a maniacal laugh.  Graham may be a Detroit native, but after spending 14 seasons in Philadelphia, he's not o…
