Classical and quantum entropy of parton distributions

Yoshikazu Hagiwara, Yoshitaka Hatta, Bo-Wen Xiao +1

We introduce the semiclassical Wehrl entropy for the nucleon as a measure of complexity of the multiparton configuration in phase space. This gives a new perspective on the nucleon…

Fluctuation and Dissipation of Axial Charge from Massive Quarks

De-fu Hou, Shu Lin

In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), axial charge is known to be non-conserved due to chiral anomaly and non-vanishing quark mass. In this paper, we explore the role of quark mass in a…

On UltraViolet Freeze-in Dark Matter during Reheating

Shao-Long Chen, Zhaofeng Kang

The absence of any confirmative signals from extensive DM searching motivates us to go beyond the conventional WIMPs scenario. The feebly interacting massive particles (FIMPs) para…

versus suppression in proton-nucleus collisions from factorization violating soft color exchanges

Yan-Qing Ma, Raju Venugopalan, Kazuhiro Watanabe +1

We argue that the large suppression of the inclusive cross-section relative to the inclusive cross-section in proton-nucleus (p+A) collisions can be attributed to fac…

The breaking of flavor democracy in the quark sector

Harald Fritzsch, Zhi-zhong Xing, Di Zhang

The democracy of quark flavors is a well-motivated flavor symmetry, but it must be properly broken in order to explain the observed quark mass spectrum and flavor mixing pattern. W…
