Gravitational Wave Scattering on Magnetic Fields / Domcke, Valerie (CERN) ; Garcia-Cely, Camilo (Valencia U., IFIC) ; Lee, Sung Mook (CERN)
The conversion of gravitational to electromagnetic waves in the presence of background magnetic fields is known as the inverse Gertsenshtein effect, analogous to the Primakoff effect for axions. Rephrasing this conversion as a classical electrodynamics problem in the far-field regime of a magnetized region, we derive the angular distribution of the intensity and polarization of the emitted electromagnetic waves.

(Quadratically) Refined Discrete Anomaly Cancellation / Dierigl, Markus (CERN) ; Tartaglia, Michelangelo (CSIC, Madrid)
In this work we study the cancellation of non-perturbative anomalies of gravitational theories with gauge group $\mathbb{Z}_k$ in six dimensions. These subtle anomalies require a classification of deformation classes of manifolds with discrete gauge bundles known as bordism groups. [...]

CP violation in $K\toμ^+μ^-$ with and without time dependence through a tagged analysis / D'Ambrosio, Giancarlo (INFN, Naples) ; Dery, Avital (CERN) ; Grossman, Yuval (Cornell U., LEPP) ; Kitahara, Teppei (Chiba U. ; KMI, Nagoya ; Nagoya U.) ; Marchevski, Radoslav (EPFL, Lausanne, LPPC) ; Martínez Santos, Diego (U. A Coruna) ; Schacht, Stefan (Durham U., IPPP)
We point out that using current knowledge of ${\cal B}(K^0_L\toμ^+μ^-)$ and $ {\cal B}(K^0_L\to γγ)$, one can extract short-distance information from the combined measurement of the time-integrated CP asymmetry, $A_{\rm CP}(K^0\toμ^+μ^-)$, and of ${\cal B}(K^0_S\toμ^+μ^-)$. We discuss the interplay between this set of observables, and demonstrate that determining ${\rm sign}[A_{\rm CP}(K^0\toμ^+μ^-)]$ would eliminate the discrete ambiguity in the Standard Model prediction for ${\cal B}(K^0_L\toμ^+μ^-)$.

Towards NNLO QCD predictions for off-shell top-quark pair production and decays / Buonocore, Luca (CERN) ; Grazzini, Massimiliano (Zurich U.) ; Kallweit, Stefan (Zurich U.) ; Lindert, Jonas M. (Sussex U.) ; Savoini, Chiara (Munich, Tech. U.)
We consider QCD radiative corrections to $W^+W^-b {\bar b}$ production with leptonic decays and massive bottom quarks at the LHC. We perform an exact next-to-leading order (NLO) calculation within the $q_T$-subtraction formalism and validate it against an independent computation in the dipole subtraction scheme. [...]

Superadditivity at Large Charge / Cohen, Timothy (CERN ; EPFL, Lausanne, LPTP ; Oregon U.) ; Fadakar, Ipak (EPFL, Lausanne, LPTP ; Pisa, Scuola Normale Superiore) ; Gomes, Andrew (EPFL, Lausanne, LPTP) ; Monin, Alexander (South Carolina U.) ; Rattazzi, Riccardo (EPFL, Lausanne, LPTP)
The weak gravity conjecture has been invoked to conjecture that the dimensions of charged operators in a CFT should obey a superadditivity relation (sometimes referred to as convexity). In this paper, we study superadditivity of the operator spectrum in theories expanded about the semi-classical saddle point that dominates correlators of large charge operators. [...]

S-wave flavor-singlet meson mixing in QCD with light and charm quarks / Urrea-Niño, Juan Andrés (Trinity Coll., Dublin ; Wuppertal U.) ; Höllwieser, Roman (Wuppertal U.) ; Knechtli, Francesco (Wuppertal U.) ; Korzec, Tomasz (Wuppertal U.) ; Finkenrath, Jacob (CERN) ; Peardon, Michael (Trinity Coll., Dublin)
We investigate the mixing between flavor-singlet light meson and charmonium operators in the S-wave channels, i.e. pseudo-scalar and vector channel, at two different pion masses. [...]

Leptogenesis in automatic Nelson-Barr models / Murgui, Clara (CERN) ; Patrone, Samuel (Caltech)
In this study, we numerically show that automatic Nelson-Barr models with new chiral fermions can simultaneously solve the strong CP problem and generate the observed baryon asymmetry via high-scale leptogenesis. In these models, all CP violation arises from a single spontaneous symmetry-breaking scale, linking the origin of quark and lepton CP phases. [...]

Stable perturbative predictions for isolated photon production with a jet pair at large $m_{j_1 j_2}$ / Andersen, Jeppe R. (Durham U., IPPP ; CERN) ; Maier, Andreas (Barcelona, IFAE ; Barcelona, Autonoma U.) ; Rosca, Malina (Durham U., IPPP) ; Ruisi, Giacomo (DESY, Zeuthen)
We present the first calculation of the high-energy corrections to the process of isolated photon production in association with two jets. These corrections both stabilise the perturbative behaviour in $m_{j_1j_2}$ and lead to a significantly improved description of data from a recent ATLAS measurement..

A Determination of $α_s(m_Z)$ at aN$^3$LO$_{\bf QCD}\otimes {\bf NLO}_{\bf QED}$ Accuracy from a Global PDF Analysis / Ball, Richard D. (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) ; Barontini, Andrea (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Cruz-Martinez, Juan (CERN) ; Forte, Stefano (INFN, Milan ; Milan U.) ; Hekhorn, Felix (Jyvaskyla U. ; Helsinki U.) ; Nocera, Emanuele R. (Turin U. ; INFN, Turin) ; Rojo, Juan (Vrije U., Amsterdam ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam) ; Stegeman, Roy (U. Edinburgh, Higgs Ctr. Theor. Phys.) /NNPDF Collaboration
We present a determination of the strong coupling $α_s(m_Z)$ from a global dataset including both fixed-target and collider data from deep-inelastic scattering and a variety of hadronic processes, with a simultaneous determination of parton distribution functions (PDFs) based on the NNPDF4.0 methodology. This determination is performed at NNLO and approximate N$^3$LO (aN$^3$LO) perturbative QCD accuracy, including QED corrections and a photon PDF up to NLO accuracy. [...]

Flavoured jet algorithms : a comparative study / Behring, Arnd (Garching, Max Planck Inst.) ; Caletti, Simone (Zurich, ETH) ; Giuli, Francesco (Rome U., Tor Vergata ; INFN, Rome) ; Grabarczyk, Radoslaw (Oxford U. ; Oxford U., Theor. Phys.) ; Hinzmann, Andreas (DESY) ; Huss, Alexander (CERN) ; Huston, Joey (Michigan State U.) ; Lesser, Ezra D. (CERN) ; Marzani, Simone (Genoa U. ; INFN, Genoa) ; Napoletano, Davide (Milan Bicocca U. ; INFN, Milan Bicocca) et al.
The accurate identification of heavy-flavour jets, those which originate from bottom or charm quarks, is crucial for precision studies of the Standard Model and searches for new physics. However, assigning flavour to jets presents significant challenges, primarily due to issues with infrared and collinear (IRC) safety. [...]
