First-principle evaluation of inclusive hadronic $τ$ decays in QCD+QED / Di Carlo, Matteo (CERN) ; Bacchio, Simone (Cyprus Inst.) ; Bäske, Erik (Humboldt U., Berlin (main)) ; De Santis, Alessandro (Helmholtz Inst., Mainz ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Evangelista, Antonio (Cyprus U.) ; Frezzotti, Roberto (INFN, Rome2 ; Rome U., Tor Vergata) ; Gagliardi, Giuseppe (INFN, Rome3) ; Holan, Lukas (Humboldt U., Berlin (main)) ; Lubicz, Vittorio (INFN, Rome3 ; Rome III U.) ; Maio, Lorenzo (INFN, Rome2 ; U. Rome 2, Tor Vergata (main)) et al.
We present a strategy to extend lattice calculations of inclusive hadronic $τ$ decays from isosymmetric QCD to QCD+QED. The inclusive decay rate can be related to suitable Euclidean correlation functions, allowing for a first-principles evaluation of electromagnetic and isospin-breaking effects. [...]

Ground-State Extraction of Heavy-Light Meson Semileptonic Decay Form Factors / D'Anna, A. (Madrid, IFT ; Madrid, Autonoma U.) ; Conigli, A. (Mainz U. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Fritzsch, P.

(Madrid, IFT ; Madrid, Autonoma U. ; CERN) ; Kuberski, S. (CERN) ; Pena, C. (Madrid, IFT ; Madrid, Autonoma U.) ; Simma, H. (NIC, Zeuthen)
We discuss the extraction of heavy-light pseudo-scalar to light pseudo-scalar decay form factors from finite time correlation functions. We place particular emphasis on the contamination from excited states employing summed ratios and input from chiral perturbation theory. [...]

Resonant Landau-Zener conversion in multi-axion systems / Dunsky, David I. (New York U., CCPP) ; Manzari, Claudio Andrea (UC, Berkeley ; LBL, Berkeley) ; Quílez, Pablo (UC, San Diego ; CERN) ; Ramos, Maria (CERN) ; Sørensen, Philip (U. Padua, Dept. Phys. Astron. ; INFN, Padua)
Multiple axions may emerge in the low-energy effective theory of Nature. Generically, the potentials describing these axion fields are non-diagonal, leading to mass mixing between axion states which can be temperature-dependent due to QCD instanton effects. [...]

Three-loop corrections to $gg\to ZH$ in the large top quark mass limit / Davies, Joshua (U. Liverpool (main)) ; Grau, Dominik (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Schönwald, Kay (Zurich U.) ; Steinhauser, Matthias (KIT, Karlsruhe) ; Stremmer, Daniel (KIT, Karlsruhe)
We compute three-loop virtual corrections to the associated production of a Higgs boson with a $Z$ boson in the large-$m_t$ limit. We describe in detail the application of the asymptotic expansion and provide, for all form factors, analytic results for the first three terms in the $1/m_t$ expansion. [...]

The quark jet function for $k_T$-like variables in NNLO QCD / Buonocore, Luca (CERN) ; Grazzini, Massimiliano (Zurich U.) ; Guadagni, Flavio (Zurich U.) ; Haag, Jürg (U. Bern, AEC) ; Rottoli, Luca (Milan Bicocca U. ; INFN, Milan Bicocca)
The precise description of jet processes requires observables capable of efficiently capturing the dynamics of the energy flow in hadronic final states. We consider a class of tranverse-momentum like resolution variables that smoothly describe the $n+1$ to $n$ jet transition in multi-jet processes. [...]

Bounds on Discrete Gauge Symmetries in Supergravity / Baykara, Zihni Kaan (Harvard U. (main)) ; Dierigl, Markus (CERN) ; Kim, Hee-Cheol (POSTECH, Pohang) ; Vafa, Cumrun (Harvard U. (main)) ; Xu, Kai (Harvard U. (main))
We place bounds on the order of enhanced discrete gauge symmetries that act on massless fields and thus arise at subloci of the moduli space in supergravity theories. We focus on supersymmetric theories with 8 or more supercharges which in some cases lead to sharp upper bounds realized by specific string constructions..

Magnusian : relating the eikonal phase, the on-shell action, and the scattering generator / Kim, Jung-Wook (CERN ; Potsdam, Max Planck Inst.) ; Patil, Raj (Potsdam, Max Planck Inst. ; Humboldt U., Berlin) ; Scheopner, Trevor (Potsdam, Max Planck Inst.) ; Steinhoff, Jan (Potsdam, Max Planck Inst.)
Two fundamentally distinct types of quantities are both called "eikonal" in present amplitudes literature. The unitarity of the S-matrix ensures it can be written as the exponential of a Hermitian operator. [...]

Fast and Flexible Neutrino Decoupling Part I: The Standard Model / Escudero, M. (CERN) ; Jackson, G. (SUBATECH, Nantes) ; Laine, M. (U. Bern (main)) ; Sandner, S. (Los Alamos)
Cosmological determinations of the number of relativistic neutrino species, $N^{ }_{\rm eff}$, are becoming increasingly accurate, and further improvements are expected both from CMB and BBN data. Given this context, we update the evaluation of $N^{ }_{\rm eff}$ and the current entropy density via the momentum-averaged approach. [...]

The Price of a Large Electron Yukawa Modification / Allwicher, Lukas (DESY) ; McCullough, Matthew (CERN) ; Renner, Sophie (Glasgow U.) ; Rocha, Duncan (CERN ; Fermilab ; U. Chicago (main)) ; Smith, Benjamin (Glasgow U.)
The theoretical implications of an electron Yukawa modification are considered in the context of a possible Higgs pole run at FCC-ee, aimed at bounding this coupling. We start from an effective field theory viewpoint, considering the impact of renormalisation group effects on related observables and also examining assumptions on the broader UV flavour structure.

Near-extremal membranes in M-theory / Buchel, Alex (Western Ontario U.) ; Monten, Ruben (CERN)
We consider near-extremal membranes embedded in M-theory, consistently truncated to gauged $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supergravity in four dimensions on the coset space $M^{1,1,0}$. These are holographically dual to $2 + 1$ dimensional superconformal gauge theory with $U(1)_R \times U(1)_B$ global symmetry. [...]
