Search for the leptonic decay
${\boldsymbol D^{\bf +}{\bf\to}{\boldsymbol e}^{\bf +}\boldsymbol\nu_{\boldsymbol e}}$ 2025, 49(6): 063001. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adc11d
We search for the leptonic decay$ D^+\to e^+\nu_{e} $ using an$ e^+e^- $ collision data sample with an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$ ^{-1} $ collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV. Significant signal is not observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction of$ D^+\to e^+\nu_{e} $ is set as$ 9.7 \times 10^{-7} $ , at a confidence level of 90%. Our upper limit is an order of magnitude smaller than the previous limit for this decay mode. -
Note on single-trace EYM amplitudes with MHV configuration
2025, 49(6): 063105. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adc189
In the maximally-helicity-violating (MHV) configuration, tree-level single-trace Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) amplitudes with one or two gravitons have been shown to satisfy a formula in which each graviton splits into a pair of collinear gluons. In this study, we extend this formula to more general cases. We present a general formula that expresses tree-level single-trace MHV amplitudes in terms of pure gluon amplitudes. In this formula, each graviton turns into a pair of collinear gluons. -
Configuration-interaction relativistic Hartree-Fock model
2025, 49(6): 064104. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adbdba
The configuration interaction relativistic Hartree-Fock (CI-RHF) model is developed in this work. Compared to the conventional configuration interaction shell model (CISM), the CI-RHF model can be applied to study the structural properties of a wide range of nuclei without readjusting any parameters, as the effective Hamiltonian for different model spaces can be deduced consistently from a universal density-dependent Lagrangian based on the Hartree-Fock single-particle basis. The convergence of intermediate-state excitations has been examined in evaluating the effective interactions, and the core-polarization effects are illustrated, taking$ ^{18} {\rm{O}}$ as an example. Employing the CI-RHF model, both the bulk properties and low-lying spectra of even-even nuclei$^{18-28} {\rm{Ne}}$ have been well-reproduced with the model space restricted to the$ sd $ shell. Studies of the isotopic evolution concerning charge radii and low-lying spectra highlight the shell closure at$ N=14 $ for neon isotopes. Furthermore, the cross-shell calculations extending from the$ sd $ to$ pf $ shell successfully reproduced the low-lying spectra of$ ^{30} {\rm{Ne}}$ and$ ^{32} {\rm{Ne}}$ . Notably, remarkably low excitation energies$ E(2^{+}_{1}) $ of$ ^{30} {\rm{Ne}}$ suggest the disappearance of the conventional magicity$ N=20 $ .

Cross sections of the 148Sm(n,α)145Nd reaction in the 4.8–5.3 MeV neutron energy range
2025, 49(7): 074007-074007-6. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/add09aShow AbstractThe cross sections of the 148Sm(n,α)145Nd reaction were measured for the first time at neutron energies ranging from 4.8 to 5.3 MeV. The experiment was carried out on the Van de Graaff accelerator EG–5 at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. Fast neutrons were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction with a deuterium gas target. A twin gridded ionization chamber was used as the charged particle detector, with back–to–back 148Sm samples mounted on tantalum backings at the common cathode. The absolute neutron flux was measured using the 238U3O8 sample. The obtained cross section data were compared with those from existing nuclear data libraries and theoretical calculations using the TALYS–1.96 code. The present results for the 148Sm(n,α)145Nd reaction are expected to resolve discrepancies among various nuclear evaluation data.

Exploring vector dark matter via effective interactions
2025, 49(7): 073104-073104-8. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/add5c5Show AbstractWe explore the properties of vector dark matter (DM) particles that predominantly interact with Standard Model (SM) electroweak gauge bosons using an effective field theory approach. The study emphasizes effective contact interactions, invariant under the SM gauge group, between vector DM and SM-neutral electroweak gauge bosons. Focusing on interaction terms up to dimension-eight, we establish constraints on the model parameters based on the observed DM relic density and indirect detection signals. We also examine the prospects for dark matter-nucleon scattering in direct detection experiments. In addition, we analyze the sensitivity of low-energy LEP data to the pair production of light DM particles (with masses up to 80 GeV). Finally, we assess the potential of the proposed International Linear Collider to probe these effective operators through the detection of DM particles produced in association with mono-photons.

Black holes in general relativity coupled with nonlinear electrodynamics surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter: Thermodynamics, particle motion, and black hole shadow
2025, 49(7): 075105-075105-21. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/adc188Show AbstractThis study explores black holes in general relativity (GR) coupled with nonlinear electrodynamics (NED) in the presence of perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM). We derive a singular black hole solution and investigate its thermodynamic properties, including the black hole temperature, entropy, and specific heat capacity of the black hole spacetime. The analysis of energy conditions reveals deviations from standard GR, with PFDM affecting the weak and strong energy conditions. The study further examines the impact of NED and PFDM on the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO), demonstrating that PFDM shifts the ISCO radius and that the combined effects of NED and PFDM field parameters sufficiently influence orbital stability. Our analysis of the black hole shadow reveals that PFDM increases the shadow radius, while a higher charge reduces it, leading to modifications in potential astrophysical observables. The thermodynamic behavior of the black hole exhibits phase transitions marked by changes in heat capacity, indicating possible stability regimes. Moreover, we derive equations for black hole shadow size and study the spacetime effects on the shadow. These results provide a framework for testing alternative gravity theories and understanding the role of exotic matter in strong gravitational fields. Finally, we compare the constraints on NED and PFDM field parameters derived from our black hole model with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of M87* and Sgr A*, providing observational limits on deviations from GR.
