Backward Compton scattering with three vortex particles

Yi Liao, Zhaolong Teng, Hao-Lin Wang

We investigate backward Compton scattering in which an incident vortex (vx) photon collides head-on with a plane-wave (pw) electron and both final-state particles are projected ont…

Light fermionic dark matter window in the scotogenic inverse seesaw model

Huan-Can Liang, Yi Liao, Xiao-Dong Ma +2

The origin of neutrino mass and the nature of dark matter (DM) remain unresolved puzzles in particle physics, and an appealing possibility is to address both in a unified picture.…

Nucleon decays into three leptons: Noncontact contributions

Jing Chen, Yi Liao, Xiao-Dong Ma +1

We investigate baryon number violating (BNV) nucleon decays into three leptons from noncontact contributions that are induced by dimension-6 (dim-6) BNV operators in low-energy eff…

Three-dimensional trapping of circular Rydberg atoms by a superimposed vortex light beam

Yi Liao, Hao-Lin Wang, Pengcheng Zhao

We propose to trap circular Rydberg atoms (CRAs) by a ponderomotive potential well formed with a superimposed vortex light beam. We calculate analytically the ponderomotive potenti…

Nucleon Energy Correlators as a Probe of Light-Quark Dipole Operators at the Electron-Ion Collider

Yingsheng Huang, Xuan-Bo Tong, Hao-Lin Wang

We propose nucleon energy correlators (NECs) as a novel framework to probe electroweak light-quark dipole operators in deep inelastic scattering with an unpolarized nucleon. These…

New chiral structures for baryon number violating nucleon decays

Yi Liao, Xiao-Dong Ma, Hao-Lin Wang

We examine the most general nucleon decay interactions that involve three light quarks without being acted upon by a derivative. We identify four generic operator structures that c…
