In the heavy quarkonium decay process <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>V</mi><mo stretchy="false">→</mo><mi>g</mi><mi>g</mi><mi>g</mi></math> (<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>V</mi><mo>=</mo><mi>J</mi><mo>/</mo><mi>ψ</mi><mo>,</mo><mi mathvariant="normal">ϒ</mi></math>), making a definite prediction including relativistic corrections has so far remained a significant challenge. In this work, we study this decay process by taking into account the relativistic corrections in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, where the relativistic bound-state wave function of quarkonium is obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation under the covariant instantaneous ansatz. Through analytical calculation, we find that some polarized decay widths vanish due to the helicity selection rule, which suppresses the corresponding helicity amplitudes. Owing to helicity flip symmetry and phase space symmetry, the nonvanishing polarized decay widths are not all independent; they are related through a set of symmetry relations. Then we obtain the unpolarized decay width formula <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi mathvariant="normal">Γ</mi><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mi>V</mi><mo stretchy="false">→</mo><mi>g</mi><mi>g</mi><mi>g</mi><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><mn>80</mn><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><msup><mi>π</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mo stretchy="false">−</mo><mn>9</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo><msubsup><mi>α</mi><mi>s</mi><mn>3</mn></msubsup><msubsup><mi>N</mi><mi>V</mi><mn>2</mn></msubsup><msubsup><mi>β</mi><mi>V</mi><mn>3</mn></msubsup></mrow><mrow><mn>81</mn><msup><mi>π</mi><mrow><mn>9</mn><mo stretchy="false">/</mo><mn>2</mn></mrow></msup><mi>M</mi></mrow></mfrac><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>1</mn><mo>−</mo><mi>κ</mi><mfrac><msubsup><mi>β</mi><mi>V</mi><mn>2</mn></msubsup><msup><mi>M</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mfrac><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></math>, where the factor <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>κ</mi><mfrac><msubsup><mi>β</mi><mi>V</mi><mn>2</mn></msubsup><msup><mi>M</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></mfrac></math> arises from the relativistic corrections with <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mi>κ</mi><mo>≡</mo><mfrac><mrow><mn>3</mn><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><mn>112</mn><mo stretchy="false">+</mo><mn>25</mn><msup><mi>π</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow><mrow><mn>16</mn><mo stretchy="false">(</mo><msup><mi>π</mi><mn>2</mn></msup><mo stretchy="false">−</mo><mn>9</mn><mo stretchy="false">)</mo></mrow></mfrac></math>.

We present partonic contributions to the inclusive gluon-fusion Higgs boson and Drell-Yan production cross sections at Hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N LO). Specifically, we compute contributions due to the interference of one-loop amplitudes with two-loop amplitudes with three QCD partons and the Higgs boson or a virtual photon. Our result is in the form of a Laurent expansion in the dimensional regulator $\textit{ϵ}$, the coefficients of which are analytic functions in the ratio of the Higgs boson or virtual photon mass to the partonic center-of-mass energy. Furthermore, we introduce and deploy a new package implemented in Mathematica, Cifar (“Color Invariant Feynman Amplitude Reducer”), to express color factors in terms of general Casimir invariants of simple compact Lie algebras.

Recent anomalies observed in $ e^+e^- $ nuclear transitions of $ ^8 {{\rm{Be}}} $ , $ ^4 {\rm{He}} $ , and $ ^{12} {\rm{C}} $ by the ATOMKI collaboration may hint at the existence of a vector boson with a mass around 17 MeV, which is referred to as X17. If it exists, this boson would affect similar processes in particle physics, including the Dalitz decays of vector mesons. Recently, the BESIII collaboration measured the Dalitz decay $ D^{*0}\to D^0e^+e^- $ for the first time and reported a $ 3.5\sigma $ excess over the theoretical prediction based on the vector meson dominance (VMD) model. This excess may be another signal of X17. In this study, we investigate the possible effects of X17 on the Dalitz decays $ D^*_{(s)}\to D_{(s)}e^+e^- $ , $ B^*_{(s)}\to B_{(s)}e^+e^- $ , and $ J/\psi\to \eta_ce^+e^- $ . The required hadronic form factors are calculated within the framework of our covariant confined quark model without relying on heavy quark effective theory or the VMD model. We present predictions for the Dalitz decay widths and the ratios $ R_{ee}(V)\equiv \Gamma(V\to Pe^+e^-)/\Gamma(V\to P\gamma) $ within the standard model and in several new physics scenarios involving modifications attributed to X17. Our results are compared with other theoretical calculations.

In Guo [Toward extracting the scattering phase shift from integrated correlation functions. II. A relativistic lattice field theory model, <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.110.014504">Phys. Rev. D 110, 014504 (2024)</a>.] and associated studies, a relativistic finite-volume formalism in <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mn>1</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></math> dimensions is proposed to extract infinite-volume scattering phaseshift. It is based on the difference of integrated correlation functions rather than energy spectrum in the finite volume, and can be regarded as complementary to the well-known Lüscher formalism. In the present work, the formalism is further extended into <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mn>3</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></math> dimensional spacetime. The aim is to explore and demonstrate the challenges in applying the formalism to more practical settings. Specifically, Monte Carlo simulations of a complex <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><msup><mi>ϕ</mi><mn>4</mn></msup></math> relativistic field model are carried out in both <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mn>2</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> and <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mrow><mn>3</mn><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></math> dimensions on lattices of varying sizes, and phaseshifts for the contact interaction are extracted from the formalism using modest computing resources.

The polarization dependence on collision centrality exhibits an increasing trend in more peripheral collisions. <math altimg='si1.svg'><mstyle mathvariant='normal'><mi>&#923;</mi></mstyle></math> and <math altimg='si6.svg'><mover accent='true'><mstyle mathvariant='normal'><mi>&#923;</mi></mstyle><mo>&#175;</mo></mover></math> polarization dependence on the transverse momentum and pseudorapidity have been investigated, but no significant dependence was observed. The polarizations of <math altimg='si1.svg'><mstyle mathvariant='normal'><mi>&#923;</mi></mstyle></math> and <math altimg='si6.svg'><mover accent='true'><mstyle mathvariant='normal'><mi>&#923;</mi></mstyle><mo>&#175;</mo></mover></math> are found to be consistent with each other, indicating little contribution of the spin-magnetic coupling to the measured polarization. Comparison to previously measured polarization in Au+Au collisions show no obvious system size dependence. The results are qualitatively consistent with hydrodynamic calculations including contributions from shear-induced polarization and thermal vorticity. For the first time in heavy-ion collisions, the dependence of the global polarization on the hyperon&#8217;s emission azimuthal angle relative to the second-order event plane has been measured, indicating stronger polarization for the in-plane emitted hyperons at the level of 2.4 <math altimg='si17.svg'><mi>&#963;</mi></math> significance in 20&#8211;50 % centrality. The <math altimg='si18.svg'><mstyle mathvariant='normal'><mi>&#926;</mi></mstyle></math> hyperon polarization measurements via polarization transfer analysis yield finite positive values with 2.9 <math altimg='si17.svg'><mi>&#963;</mi></math> significance in 20&#8211;50 % centrality, slightly larger compared to the inclusive <math altimg='si1.svg'><mstyle mathvariant='normal'><mi>&#923;</mi></mstyle></math> polarization.
