Proton and neutron electromagnetic radii and magnetic moments from lattice QCD
Miguel Salg🇩🇪 · Dalibor Djukanovic🇩🇪 · Georg von Hippel🇩🇪 · Harvey B. Meyer🇩🇪 · Konstantin Ottnad🇩🇪 · Hartmut Wittig🇩🇪
We present results for the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron computed on the $(2 + 1)$ -flavor Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) ensembles including both quark-connected and -disconnected contributions. The $Q^{2}$ -, pion-mass, lattice-spacing, and finite-volume dependence of our form factor data is fitted simultaneously to the expressions resulting from covariant chiral perturbation theory including vector mesons amended by models for lattice artefacts. From these fits, we determine the electric and magnetic radii and the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron, as well as the Zemach radius of the proton. To assess the influence of systematic effects, we average over various cuts in the pion mass and the momentum transfer, as well as over different models for the lattice-spacing and finite-volume dependence, using weights derived from the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC).

Among the compact objects observed in gravitational wave merger events a few have masses in the gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and least massive black holes (BHs) known. Their nature and the formation of their merging binaries are not well understood. We report on pulsar timing observations using the Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) of PSR J0514-4002E, an eccentric binary millisecond pulsar in the globular cluster NGC 1851 with a total binary mass of $3.887 \pm 0.004$ solar masses. The companion to the pulsar is a compact object and its mass (between $2.09$ and $2.71$ solar masses, 95% confidence interval) is in the mass gap, so it either is a very massive NS or a low-mass BH. We propose the companion was formed by a merger between two earlier NSs.

The proton-neutron resonance states by solving Schrodinger equation
Bao-Xi Sun🇨🇳 · Qin-Qin Cao🇨🇳 · Ying-Tai Sun🇨🇳
The proton-neutron interaction is investigated by solving the Schrodinger equation, where a Yukawa type of potential with one pion exchanging between the proton and the neutron is assumed. Since the deutron is the unique bound state of the proton-neutron system, the coupling constant is fixed according to the binding energy of the deutron. The scattering process of the proton and the neutron is studied when the outgoing wave condition is taken into account, and two proton-neutron resonance states are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation, which lie at $1905 - i 13$ MeV and $2150 - i 342$ MeV on the complex energy plane, respectively. It is no doubt that the calculation results would give some hints on the experimental research on the proton-neutron interaction in future.

The possible $K K ˉ^{*}$ and $D D ˉ^{*}$ bound and resonance states by solving Schrodinger equation
Bao-Xi Sun🇨🇳 · Qin-Qin Cao🇨🇳 · Ying-Tai Sun🇨🇳
The Schrodinger equation with a Yukawa type of potential is solved analytically. When different boundary conditions are taken into account, a series of solutions are indicated as Bessel function, the first kind of Hankel function and the second kind of Hankel function, respectively. Subsequently, the scattering processes of $K K ˉ^{*}$ and $D D ˉ^{*}$ are investigated. In the $K K ˉ^{*}$ sector, the $f_{1} (1285)$ particle is treated as a $K K ˉ^{*}$ bound state, therefore, the coupling constant in the $K K ˉ^{*}$ Yukawa potential can be fixed according to the binding energy of the $f_{1} (1285)$ particle. Consequently, a $K K ˉ^{*}$ resonance state is generated by solving the Schrodinger equation with the outgoing wave condition, which lie at $1417 - i 18$ MeV on the complex energy plane. It is reasonable to assume that the $K K ˉ^{*}$ resonance state at $1417 - i 18$ MeV might correspond to the $f_{1} (1420)$ particle in the review of Particle Data Group(PDG).In the $D D ˉ^{*}$ sector, since the $X (3872)$ particle is almost located at the $D D ˉ^{*}$ threshold, the binding energy of it equals to zero approximately. Therefore, the coupling constant in the $D D ˉ^{*}$ Yukawa potential is determined, which is related to the first zero point of the zero order Bessel function. Similarly to the $K K ˉ^{*}$ case, four resonance states are produced as solutions of the Schrodinger equation with the outgoing wave condition. It is assumed that the resonance states at $3885 - i 1$ MeV, $4029 - i 108$ MeV, $4328 - i 191$ MeV and $4772 - i 267$ MeV might be associated with the $Z c (3900)$ , the $X (3940)$ , the $χ_{c 1} (4274)$ and $χ_{c 1} (4685)$ particles, respectively. It is noted that all solutions are isospin degenerate.

Jet Quenching: From Theory to Simulation
Shanshan Cao🇨🇳 · Abhijit Majumder🇺🇸 · Rouzbeh Modarresi-Yazdi🇨🇦 · Ismail Soudi🇺🇸 · Yasuki Tachibana🇯🇵
With the explosion of data on jet based observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider and the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, perturbative QCD based simulations of these processes, often interacting with an expanding viscous fluid dynamical background, have taken center stage. This review is meant to bridge the gap between theory, simulation and phenomenology of jet modification in a dense medium. We will demonstrate how the existence of such end-to-end event generators with semi-realistic or even fully realistic final states allows for the most rigorous comparisons between pQCD based jet modification theory and experiment. State-of-the-art calculations of several jet based observables are presented. Extensions of this theory to jets in the small systems of $p$ - $A$ and $e$ - $A$ collisions is discussed.

A potential approach to the $X (3872)$ thermal behavior
Néstor Armesto🇪🇸 · Miguel Ángel Escobedo🇪🇸 · Elena G. Ferreiro🇪🇸 · Víctor López-Pardo🇪🇸
We study the potential of $X (3872)$ at finite temperature in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation under the assumption that it is a tetraquark. We argue that, at large number of colors, it is a good approximation to assume that the potential consists in a real part plus a constant imaginary term. The real part is then computed adapting an approach by Rothkopf and Lafferty and using as input lattice QCD determinations of the potential for hybrids. This model allows us to qualitatively estimate at which temperature range the formation of a heavy tetraquark is possible, and to propose a qualitative picture for the dissociation of the state in a medium. Our approach can be applied to other suggested internal structures for the $X (3872)$ and to other exotic states.

Heavy Quarks in Polarised Deep-Inelastic Scattering at the Electron-Ion Collider
Felix Hekhorn🇮🇹 · Giacomo Magni🇳🇱 · Emanuele R. Nocera🇮🇹 · Tanjona R. Rabemananjara🇳🇱 · Juan Rojo🇳🇱 · Adrianne Schaus🇳🇱 · Roy Stegeman🇬🇧
We extend the FONLL general-mass variable-flavour-number scheme to the case of longitudinally polarised DIS structure functions, accounting for perturbative corrections up to $O (α_{s}^{2})$ . We quantify the impact of charm quark mass and higher-order perturbative corrections on projected measurements of inclusive and charm-tagged longitudinal asymmetries at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and at the Electron-ion collider in China (EicC). We demonstrate how the inclusion of these corrections is essential to compute predictions with an accuracy that matches the projected precision of the measurements. The computation is made publicly available through the open-source EKO and YADISM programs
