Non-enveloped RNA viruses are composed of a genome protected by a protein shell called a capsid. At the beginning of infection, these viruses get inside the cell and release their genome from the capsid, so the genome can start to … Read More

 Recently LHCb collaboration discovered a doubly charmed tetraquark (Tcc) with exotic flavor content ccud slightly below DD* threshold. I'll present the first lattice QCD determination of DD* scattering amplitude which is needed to theoretically establish Tcc. The resulting scattering amplitude provides a signature for a pole related to Tcc for the … Read More

In this paper we present a novel mechanism for producing the observed Dark Matter (DM) relic abundance during the First Order Phase Transition (FOPT) in the early universe. We show that the bubble expansion with ultra-relativistic velocities can lead to … Read More

We study the impact of triple-leptoquark interactions on matter stability for two specific proton decay topologies that arise at the tree- and one-loop level. We demonstrate that the one-loop level topology is much more relevant than the tree-level one when … Read More

Searches for anomalies are the main motivation for the LHC and define key analysis steps, including triggers. We discuss how LHC anomalies can be defined through probability density estimates, evaluated in a physics space or in an appropriate neural network … Read More

The trilateral meetings are a series of one day events designed to strengthen the scientific relations in particle, astroparticle physics and cosmology between Trieste, Nova Gorica and Ljubljana. The venue will be posted soon. Organizing committee: Miha Nemevšek (IJS) Andrea Romanino … Read More

A gauge-invariant framework for computing bubble nucleation rates at finite temperature in the presence of radiative barriers was presented and advocated for model-building and phenomenological studies in an accompanying article arXiv:2112.05472. Here, we detail this computation using the Abelian Higgs … Read More

We study the spreading of mercury droplets on thin metal (silver or gold) films on glass at room temperature, which is the only known system of reactive-wetting at room temperature. We show that there exist two main regimes, the bulk propagation regime and … Read More
