The forward-backward asymmetry induced CP asymmetry in ${{\overline{B}}^{0}\rightarrow K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{0}}$ in phase space around the resonances ${{\overline{K}}^{*}(892)^{0}}$ and ${{\overline{K}}^{*}_{0}(700)}$
2026, 50(5): 053102. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/ae39cc
The interference between amplitudes corresponding to different intermediate resonances plays an important role in generating large CP asymmetries in the phase space in multi-body decays of bottom and charmed mesons. In this study, we examine the CP violation in the decay channel $ {\overline{B}}^{0}\rightarrow K^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{0} $ in the phase-space region where the intermediate resonances $ \overline{K}^{*}(892)^{0} $ and $ {\overline{K}^{*}_{0}(700)} $ dominate. In particular, the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) and the CP asymmetry induced by FBA (FB-CPA), which are closely related to the interference effects between the two aforementioned resonances, are investigated. The nontrivial correlation between FBA and FB-CPA is analyzed. The analysis indicates that FB-CPAs around the resonance $ \overline{K}^{*}(892)^{0} $ can be as large as approximately 35%, which can be potentially accessible by Belle and Belle-II collaborations in the near future. -
Systematic study of microscopic nuclear level densities of Sn isotopes within a relativistic framework
2026, 50(5): 054107. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/ae4329
Nuclear level density (NLD) plays a crucial role in describing the statistical properties of excited nuclei and is a key input for models of compound nuclear reactions, such as those used in nuclear astrophysics and reactor physics. In this study, we construct microscopic nuclear level densities for Sn isotopes by combining single-particle spectra, pairing correlations, and deformation parameters derived from relativistic Hartree–Bogoliubov (RHB) calculations with the combinatorial method. We examine the energy dependence and isotopic systematics of the calculated level densities. In particular, we analyze their variation with excitation energy and neutron number, and compare them to available experimental data, including cumulative low-lying levels and s-wave neutron resonance spacings ($ D_0 $). The resulting level densities are further employed as input to Hauser–Feshbach calculations of radiative neutron capture $ (n,\gamma) $ cross-sections [Nuclear Data Sheets 120, 272 (2014)]. Our results demonstrate that RHB-based nuclear level densities provide a reliable microscopic framework for describing Sn isotopic level densities and accurately predicting $ (n,\gamma) $ cross-sections. -
Investigation of the level structure of 91−94Zr nuclei using large-scale shell-model calculations
2026, 50(5): 054105. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/ae43c5
A suitable Hamiltonian was designed for the Zr isotopes over the N = 50 shell by including shell model space between 78Ni and 132Sn. The Hamiltonian is composed by the pairing-plus-multipole force and monopole correction terms. The single-particle energies (SPEs) were initially taken from the low-lying states of hole nuclei 131In and 131Sn (near the N = 82 shell closure). These SPEs were then modified by three monopole correction terms to better describe the low-lying states of 91Zr (near the N = 50 shell closure). To test this Hamiltonian, the level spectra of 91−94Zr were investigated in both low-lying and high-spin excitations by large-scale shell-model calculations. Their wave functions were further tested by comparing the electromagnetic transition probabilities with given $ B(E2)$ data. The good performance in both spectra and transitions probabilities makes the predicting calculations of the present interaction more dependable to be referred in further experimental researches of Zr isotopes.

Pseudopotential of hybrid mesons in a holographic anisotropic plasma
2026, 50(6): 063108-063108-9. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/ae5a88Show AbstractWe investigate the pseudopotential of hybrid mesons in a holographic anisotropic background within the AdS/CFT correspondence. Hybrid states are modeled by introducing a defect, and we analyze the associated force-balance condition in the string configuration. From this setup, we derive the balance equation and compute key physical quantities, including the separation distance, pseudopotential, and binding energy of the hybrid mesons. We find that increasing the anisotropy parameter a decreases the separation distance for both ground and excited states. However, while the ground-state potential decreases, the pseudopotential of the hybrid state increases. Additionally, the pseudopotential of hybrid mesons exhibits significant sensitivity to variations in the angular parameter α.

ModMax charged black holes in PFDM: Electric Penrose and particle collisions
2026, 50(6): 065106-065106-16. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/ae5b56Show AbstractIn this study, we investigate the influence of the parameters of ModMax nonlinear electrodynamics and perfect-fluid dark matter (PFDM) on the geometry and physical properties of charged black holes. A static, spherically symmetric solution to the Einstein field equations describing a charged ModMax black hole immersed in a PFDM background is obtained. The motion of charged test particles in this spacetime is analyzed in detail, including the effective potential, the conditions for stable and unstable circular orbits, and the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO). It is shown that the ModMax parameter γ shifts the orbits outward for repulsive Coulomb interactions and inward for attractive forces, while increasing PFDM enhances gravitational attraction, shifting the ISCO inward. Furthermore, the interactions and collisions of charged particles near the event horizon are examined. The center-of-mass energy ${\cal{E}}_{\rm cm}$ exhibits the characteristic behavior in charged-particle collisions, rapidly increasing as the particles approach the horizon. The parameter γ amplifies the BSW acceleration mechanism, while α suppresses it. The electric Penrose process for charged particles is also examined, revealing that the efficiency of energy extraction increases with the black hole charge and is strongly influenced by the interaction parameter γ, which plays a dominant role in enhancing the efficiency, whereas the effect of α remains comparatively negligible.

S, T, U parameters in the B-LSSM
2026, 50(6): 063109-063109-15. doi: 10.1088/1674-1137/ae5590Show AbstractUsing the pinch technique, we determine the one-loop vertices of weak interactions in the B-LSSM and incorporate their pinch contributions into the gauge boson self-energies. Compared to the definitions of the S, T, and U parameters in the Standard Model based on the $S U(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y$ group, the corresponding parameters in the local B-L gauge symmetry (B-LSSM) are modified. We present these redefined S, T, and U parameters and demonstrate the convergence of the results. In the framework of the low-energy effective Lagrangian for weak interactions, the S, T, and U parameters can be expressed as functions of specific parameters in the B-LSSM. The updated experimental and fitting results strongly constrain the parameter space of the B-LSSM.
