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…
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.…
A systematic investigation on vector dark matter-nucleus scattering in effective field theories
Jin-Han Liang, Yi Liao, Xiao-Dong Ma +1
In this paper, we systematically investigate the general spin-one dark matter-nucleus interactions within the framework of effective field theories (EFT). We consider both the nonr…
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…
Chiral perturbation theory for baryon-number-violating nucleon decay into a vector meson
Yi Liao, Xiao-Dong Ma, Hao-Lin Wang
In a recent work [New chiral structures for baryon number violating nucleon decays, arXiv:2504.14855], we identified generic baryon-number-violating (BNV) structures containing tri…
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…
