Based on a sample of $2.7\times10^{9}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the decay $\psi(3686)\to\gamma\chi_{cJ}, \chi_{cJ}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}$ is analyzed. The decay modes $\chi_{c1}$ and $\chi_{c2}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}$ are observed for the first time, and their corresponding branching fractions are determined to be ${\cal{B}}(\chi_{c1}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}) = $ $ (1.40\, \pm 0.13\, (\text{stat.}) \pm 0.09\, (\text{sys.})) \times 10^{-4}$ and ${\cal{B}}(\chi_{c2}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}) = (4.18\, \pm 0.84\, (\text{stat.}) \pm 0.48\, (\text{sys.})) \times 10^{-5}$ . An upper limit on the branching fraction of $\chi_{c0}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}$ is set as $2.59 \times 10^{-5}$ at a 90% confidence level (CL). A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the decay $\chi_{c1}\to\eta\eta\eta^{\prime}$ is performed to search for the $1^{-+}$ exotic state $\eta_1(1855)$ . The PWA result indicates that the structure in the $\eta\eta^{\prime}$ mass spectrum is attributed to $f_0(1500)$ , while in the $\eta\eta$ mass spectrum, it is attributed to the $0^{++}$ phase space. The upper limit of ${\cal{B}}(\chi_{c1}\to\eta_{1}(1855)\eta) \cdot {\cal{B}}(\eta_{1}(1855)\to\eta\eta^{\prime}) \lt $ $ 9.79 \times 10^{-5}$ is set based on the PWA at 90% CL.

Recent publications by three lattice QCD collaborations have provided an unprecedented wealth of theoretical predictions for the $$ {\overline{B}}_q\to {D}_q^{\left(\ast \right)} $$ form factors, for spectator flavours $\textit{q}$ = $\textit{u}$/$\textit{d}$ and $\textit{q}$ = $\textit{s}$. We analyse these predictions within the framework of the heavy-quark expansion (HQE) to order $\textit{α}$ , 1/$\textit{m}$ , and $$ 1/{m}_c^2 $$ . For the first time, our analysis imposes unitarity bounds for all of the $$ {\overline{B}}_q^{\left(\ast \right)}\to {D}_q^{\left(\ast \right)} $$ form factors; this includes newly identified tensor form factors arising in $$ {\overline{B}}_q^{\ast}\to {D}_q^{\left(\ast \right)} $$ . This enables us to treat all form factors in the same fashion. At the level of our present analysis, the inclusion of the tensor bounds is not yet constraining the HQE parameter space. We find the lattice QCD results to be well compatible with each other in a joint HQE fit as well as with QCD sum rule estimates that were used in previous HQE analyses. This is in contrast to the strong variability of the posterior predictions, in particular of the form factors ratios $\textit{R}$ and $\textit{R}$ . Using the posterior distributions of our HQE analysis, we provide predictions for angular observables and LFU ratios in the $$ {\overline{B}}_q\to {D}_q^{\left(\ast \right)}{\ell}^{-}\overline{\nu} $$ decays.

Challenging $$ {\overline{B}}_{(s)}\to {D}_{(s)}^{\left(\ast \right)} $$ form factors with the heavy quark expansion

We construct a holographic model for an s+p superconductor with axion induced translation symmetry breaking within the framework of gauge/gravity duality, working in the probe limit. The equations of motion are solved numerically to investigate the influence of the parameter $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$ on the competition and coexistence between the s-wave and p-wave orders. We find that increasing $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$ suppresses the thermodynamic stability of both the single condensate s-wave and p-wave solutions. With the $$k-\mu $$ phase diagram and the condensate curves, we see that the region dominated by the single condensate p-wave phase gradually decreases with the increasing of $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$, finally leaving only the single condensate s-wave phase in the large $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$ region, which is explained by the grand potential curves showing a slower decreasing of the thermodynamic stability for the s-wave solution than that for the p-wave solution. Furthermore, a larger minimum ratio of the charges $$q_p/q_s$$ is required to stabilize the s+p coexistent phase as $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$ increases, and we determine the precise dependence of this critical ratio on $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$. Finally, our study of the optical conductivity reveals that the gap frequency increases with $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$. A characteristic kink, associated with the s+p coexistent phase, is identified in the dependence of gap frequency on $\textit{k}$/$\textit{T}$, which could serve as a potential experimental signature for detecting multi-condensate superconductivity.

Holographic s+p superconductors with axion induced translation symmetry breaking

<p>A search for events with one displaced vertex from long-lived particles using data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is presented, using <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mn>140</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><msup><mi>fb</mi><mrow><mo>−</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></msup></math> of proton-proton collision data at <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><msqrt><mi>s</mi></msqrt><mo>=</mo><mn>13</mn><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mi>TeV</mi></math> recorded in 2015–2018. The search employs techniques for reconstructing vertices of long-lived particles decaying into hadronic jets in the muon spectrometer displaced between 3 m and 14 m from the primary interaction vertex. The observed number of events is consistent with the expected background and limits for several benchmark signals are determined. A scalar-portal model and a Higgs-boson-portal baryogenesis model are considered. A dedicated analysis channel is employed to target Z-boson associated long-lived particle production, including an axionlike particle and a dark photon model. For the Higgs boson model, branching fractions above 1% are excluded at 95% confidence level for long-lived particle proper decay lengths ranging from 5 cm to 40 m. For the photophobic axionlike particle model considered, this search produces the strongest limits to date for proper decay lengths greater than <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi mathvariant="script">O</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>10</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mtext> </mtext><mtext> </mtext><mi>cm</mi></math>.</p>
