Summary: In this study, a relativistic mean-field hadronic model with the inclusion of dark matter particle and short-range correlations is used to investigate neutron stars. The model successfully reproduces the constraints on mass-radius diagram imposed by various data analyses, and shows the possibility of more massive neutron stars due to the balancing effect of short-range correlations. Additionally, the study explores the impact of uncertainties in bulk parameters related to the hadronic sector on the neutron star mass-radius profiles, and finds compatible solutions with recent astrophysical constraints.

Summary: Nuclear short-range correlations induce high-momentum/high-energy fluctuations in the nuclear medium. By computing the nuclear Wigner quasiprobability distributions, it is found that high-momentum components originate mainly from the nuclear interior. The inclusion of SRCs leads to almost doubling of kinetic energy and systematic reduction of the neutron skin in certain nuclei.

Summary: Quantitative analysis of the intermolecular forces between lignin and cellulases at different temperatures revealed that increasing temperature improves adsorption capacity and total intermolecular forces. Hydrophobic forces and van der Waals forces contribute to long-range attractions, while electrostatic forces exhibit repulsive effects. Short-range forces including hydrogen bonding and 7L-7L stacking stabilize the non-specific binding of enzymes to lignin. Increasing temperature reduces hydrogen bond number and increases the relative contribution of long-range forces. The study also highlights the importance of hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and steric effects in driving adsorption capacity and glucose yields.

Summary: GPUs have enabled massively parallel computing, but the difficulty of partitioning molecular dynamics problems and exchanging data among compute nodes has limited their full potential. This work presents a scalable parallelization solution for molecular dynamics, enabling highly scalable simulations on multi-GPU computing environments. The solution divides the molecular volume into independent parts assigned to different GPUs, maintaining a global bond structure for efficient data exchange.

Summary: This article presents the dibaryon concept for nuclear force, proposing that the attraction between nucleons at medium distances is primarily due to the s-channel exchange of an intermediate six-quark state. A microscopic six-quark description of the NN system is used to construct the NN interaction model, with symmetry aspects playing a significant role. The model successfully describes the elastic phase shifts and inelasticities of NN scattering in various partial waves and energy ranges, and the parameters of the intermediate six-quark states are consistent with known dibaryon resonances.

Summary: In this study, the influence of nucleon-nucleon short-range correlation (SRC) on static spherically symmetric neutron stars (NSs) is investigated for the first time from the perspectives of radial and nonradial oscillations. The SRC effect is found to decrease the frequencies of both nonradial and radial oscillations, providing insights into inferring the maximum mass of NSs and serving as a probe for their internal structure.

Summary: Experiments measuring the Newtonian gravitational constant G provide sensitive tests of the gravitational inverse-square law, with this study presenting the strongest bound on Yukawa-type deviations from Newtonian gravity in the range of 5-500 mm. The analysis improves previous constraints by up to a factor of 7 at lengths ranging from 60-100 mm.

Summary: In this study, the interactions of Sigma D-(*)(c)(*) systems were systematically investigated within the framework of chiral effective field theory, with different contributions used to describe short-, long-, and intermediate-range interactions. The low energy constants of the systems were estimated from N (N) over bar scattering data, and different inputs of LECs led to distinguishable mass spectra for the bound states. Additionally, interactions of charmed-bottom Sigma((*))(c)(B) over bar((*)), Sigma D-(*)(b)(*), and Sigma((*))(b)(B) over bar((*)) systems were also explored, with deeper bindings observed for heavier reduced masses.

Summary: Complementing previous theoretical and experimental work, this study explores new types of short-range modifications to Newtonian gravity arising from spacetime-symmetry breaking. The first non-perturbative corrections are constructed in the Newtonian limit by considering generic symmetry-breaking terms modifying the gravity sector and examining the isotropic coefficient limit. The results reveal new force law corrections beyond the standard Yukawa parameterization, with potential for large forces compared to the Newtonian prediction at short distances. Experimental signals for typical test mass arrangements are also discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the scattering of light pseudoscalar mesons and heavy mesons in heavy meson chiral perturbation theory, determining low-energy constants and physical scattering lengths through fitting lattice QCD data points. Results show convergence of scattering lengths in most channels at fourth order in perturbative method, with correct values obtained in specific channels using the iterated method.

Summary: In this study, predictions for the neutron matter equation of state were made using chiral effective field theory up to fourth order, with the use of accurate nucleon-nucleon potentials. The nonperturbative particle-particle ladder approximation method was employed for the many-body calculations, revealing a mild and attractive impact of subleading three-neutron forces. Additionally, predictions for the symmetry energy and its density dependence were discussed, along with comparisons to empirical constraints, emphasizing the energy and pressure in neutron matter.

Summary: We study the correlation between entanglement minimization and the appearance of accidental symmetries in low-energy scattering of spin-21 baryons from the perspective of quantum information science. The baryon transforms as an octet under SU(3) flavor symmetry, and its interactions below the pion threshold are described by contact operators in an effective field theory (EFT) of QCD. We find that successive entanglement minimization in SU(3)-symmetric channels are correlated with increasingly large emergent symmetries in the EFT, including SU(6), SO(8), SU(8), and SU(16) symmetries, as well as non-relativistic conformal invariance in channels with unnaturally large scattering lengths. Improved precision from lattice simulations could help determine the degree of entanglement suppression and the amount of accidental symmetry in low-energy QCD.

Summary: The study systematically explores recent RG-invariant formulations of chiral effective field theory and their predictions for selected nuclear systems up to A = 16. Results show that RG-invariant and realistic predictions can be obtained for nuclei with mass number A <= 4, but further fine-tuning of relevant counterterms may be needed for nuclei with mass number A > 4 in current state-of-the-art RG-invariant PC schemes based on chi EFT at LO.
