[QCD theory seminar] When is axial gauge applicable?

Oneine (Zoom)
Axial gauge has been used in many perturbative calculations. However, it sometimes leads to puzzling results. In this talk, I will discuss a specific example in the context of heavy quark and quarkonium transport coefficients, where naive application of temporal axial gauge leads to an incorrect result. Then I will discuss the origin of the problem from both perturbative and nonperturbative aspects. Finally I will summarize the applicability condition of axial gauge and give a few examples.

Parity-violating scalar trispectrum from axion inflation

Hybrid On-site: Kenkyu Honkan Seminar room 321, 322 Online: Zoom
We study a mechanism of generating the trispectrum (4-point correlation) of curvature perturbation through the dynamics of a spectator axion field and U(1) gauge field during inflation. Owing to the Chern-Simons coupling, only one helicity mode of the gauge field experiences a tachyonic instability and sources scalar perturbations. Sourced curvature perturbation exhibits parity-violating nature which can be tested through its trispectrum. We numerically compute the parity-even and parity-odd components of the sourced trispectrum. It is found that the ratio of parity-odd to parity-even mode can reach O(10%) in an exact equilateral momentum configuration. We also investigate a quasi-equilateral shape where only one of the momenta is slightly longer than the other three, and find that the parity-odd mode can reach, and more interestingly, surpass the parity-even one. This may help us to interpret a large parity-odd trispectrum signal extracted from BOSS galaxy-clustering data.

[IPNS Physics and Theory Seminar] Recent Progress and Future Prospects in Flavor Physics

Hybrid On-site: Kobayashi Hall Online: Zoom
Flavor physics is the field that explores new physics in a bottom-up approach by comprehensive and precise measurements of processes that occur through weak interactions, leading to small theoretical uncertainty. Flavor physics is also the only method that can observe CP violation at this moment. The goal is to explore the mysteries of matter-antimatter asymmetry and the origin of flavor structures. In recent years, progress in experimental techniques and improvements in lattice QCD simulations have boosted sensitivity to new physics, and even reported several flavor anomalies. Based on this background, I will present some of the recent flavor theories and their future prospects, and also discuss physics related to B anomaly, which is currently attracting particular attention.

Isotope shift as a probe of new physics

Hybrid On-site: Kenkyu Honkan Seminar room 321, 322 Online: Zoom

Isotope shift (IS) in atomic spectra is sensitive to a new interaction between the electron and the neutron. In the standard model (SM) of particle physics, the finite nuclear mass and size varying from one isotope to another cause the IS. Since the theoretical calculation of IS is not easy, even in the SM, we introduce a new method to search for the new interaction. Our method employs a generalization of the King linearity of IS, the generalized IS linearity.
We apply various generalized linearities to recent IS data of Ytterbium (Yb) and illustrate constraints on the new interaction.

Bi-Hamiltonian structures of integrable many-body models

Seminar room, Kenkyu Honkan 3F
The evolution equations of several exactly solvable dynamical systems can be written in Hamiltonian form in two distinct manners, using two different Poisson bracket structures and corresponding Hamiltonians. Such bi Hamiltonian structures lead to the existence of conserved quantities associated with the integrability of the pertinent systems. In this talk we review our results on bi-Hamiltonian structures of integrable many-body models of point particles moving along one dimension, which are also coupled to internal `spin’ degrees of freedom. The models of our interest belong to the celebrated family of Calogero–Moser–Sutherland and Toda type systems. They will be viewed as shadows (alias Poisson reductions) of simple higher dimensional bi-Hamiltonian systems having large symmetry groups.

Global SMEFT studies at future colliders

Hybrid On-site: Kenkyu Honkan Seminar room 321, 322 Online: Zoom
At a time when the particle physics community is trying to decide what the next large particle collider experiment may be, it becomes crucial to study and establish the potential for indirect tests of new physics at the different projects that have been proposed, in order to make an informed decision. In the absence of a clear indication of what the new physics beyond the Standard Model may be, a model-independent approach for such studies is preferred, to make sure we cover all possibilities. In this talk, I will discuss some of the studies that were prepared for the 2020 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics and later updated during the 2021 Snowmass process using the general formalism of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, with emphasis on the physics of the electroweak and Higgs sectors.

[QCD theory seminar] Causal and stable first-order chiral hydrodynamics

Online (Zoom)
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the study of chiral hydrodynamics, the hydrodynamic theory that incorporates the effect of quantum anomalies. This theory is expected to be a powerful description of various systems in high-energy nuclear physics, cosmology, astrophysics, and condensed matter. However, chiral hydrodynamics derived in previous works have problems related to causality and stability. These issues prevent the full theory from being used to make theoretical predictions using numerical simulations. In this talk, I will present a novel first-order theory of chiral hydrodynamics which is proven to be causal in the nonlinear regime and linearly stable. I will show that causality demands the absence of vorticity-induced heat flux, forcing a departure from the thermodynamic frame. The inequalities for causality and stability define a hypervolume in the space of transport parameters, wherein each point corresponds to a consistent formulation. Notably, causality is determined by just three combinations of transport parameters. The results will be presented in a form amenable to numerical hydrodynamic simulations.

Induced Gravitational Waves from Inflaton Oscillons

Hybrid On-site: Kenkyu Honkan Seminar room 321, 322 Online: Zoom
We present a new way to study cosmic inflation with gravitational waves. The gravitational signal is generated thanks to nonlinear structures in the inflaton field, called oscillons. This novel probe allows us to test models of inflation which are challenging to test with CMB experiments.
