Advection of passive magnetic field by the Gaussian velocity field with finite correlations in time and spatial parity violation

Using the field theoretic renormalization group technique the model of passively advected weak magnetic field by an incompressible isotropic helical turbulent flow is investigated up to the second order of the perturbation theory (two-loop approximation) in the framework of an extended Kazantsev-Kraichnan model of kinematic magnetohydrodynamics. Statistical fluctuations of the velocity field are taken in the form of a Gaussian distribution with zero mean and defined noise with finite correlations in time. The two-loop analysis of all possible scaling regimes is done and the influence of helicity on the stability of scaling regimes is discussed and shown in the plane of exponents ɛ − η, where ɛ characterizes the energy spectrum of the velocity field in the inertial range E ∞ k{sup 1−2ε}, and η is related to the correlation time at the wave number k which is scaled as k {sup −2+η}. It is shown that in non-helical case the scaling regimes of the present vector model are completely identical and have also the same properties as those obtained in the corresponding model of passively advected scalar field. Besides, it is also shown that when the turbulent environment under consideration is helical then the properties of the scaling regimes in models of passively advected scalar and vector (magnetic) fields are essentially different. The results demonstrate the importance of the presence of a symmetry breaking in a given turbulent environment for investigation of the influence of an internal tensor structure of the advected field on the inertial range scaling properties of the model under consideration and will be used in the analysis of the influence of helicity on the anomalous scaling of correlation functions of passively advected magnetic field.

Inverse-square law violation and reactor antineutrino anomaly

We discuss a possibility that the so-called reactor antineutrino anomaly can be, at least in part, explained by applying a quantum field-theoretical approach to neutrino oscillations, which in particular predicts a small deviation from the classical inverse-square law at short but macroscopic distances between the neutrino source and detector. An extensive statistical analysis of the reactor data is performed to examine this speculation.

Partial Quark-Lepton Universality and Neutrino CP Violation

We study a model with partial quark-lepton universality that can naturally arise in grand unified theories. We find that constraints on the model can be reduced to a single condition on the Dirac CP phase δ in the neutrino sector. Using our current knowledge of the CKM and PMNS mixing matrices, we predict - 32 . 4 ° ≤ δ ≤ 32 . 0 ° at 2 σ .

Mitigative Strategies for Recovering From Large Language Model Trust Violations

In this study, we investigated strategies to address trust issues arising from errors in large language models (LLMs). The study examined the impact of confidence scores, system capability explanations, and user feedback on trust restoration post-error. 68 participants viewed the responses of an LLM to 20 general trivia questions, with an error introduced on the third trial. Each participant was presented with one mitigation strategy. Participants rated their overall trust in the model and the reliability of the answer. Results showed an immediate drop in trust after the error; however, there were no differences across the three strategies in trust recovery. All conditions had a logarithmic trend in trust recovery following error. Differences in overall trust were predicted by perceived reliability of the answer, suggesting that participants were evaluating results critically and using that to inform their trust in the model. Qualitative data supported this finding; participants expressed lasting distrust despite the LLM’s later accuracy. Results showcase the need to prioritize accuracy in LLM deployment, because early errors may irrevocably damage user trust calibration and later adoption.

Search for Lepton Number Violation in 136 Xe and 134 Xe Decay

The EXO-200/nEXO group at Stony Brook University led by Krishna Kumar searched for neutrinoless double beta decay of 134 Xe and 136 Xe via participation in the final phase of the EXO-200 experiment and calibration pre-R&D for the next generation nEXO concept. On EXO-200, we carried out an improved analysis in the search for 134 Xe using data from Phase-II running. On nEXO, we completed a paper on our first phase of measurements demonstrating the feasibility of using photoelectricity from a gold photocathode to produce controlled amounts of charged clusters in liquid xenon. This has set the stage to develop a new test stand to evaluate the stability of a gold photocathode in order to explore the sensitivity of this method to monitor long electron lifetimes.

Searches for Violations of Fundamental Symmetries [Slides]

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is currently the best theory to describe the most basic building blocks of the Universe. However, it does not explain the complete picture. We need physics beyond the Standard Model.
