Measurement of the Higgs boson mass and width using the four-lepton final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ =13 TeV

A measurement of the Higgs boson mass and width via its decay to two 𝑍 bosons is presented. Proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb −1 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, is used. The invariant mass distribution of four leptons in the on-shell Higgs boson decay is used to measure its mass and constrain its width. This yields the most precise single measurement of the Higgs boson mass to date, 125.04 ± 0.12 GeV, and an upper limit on the width Γ 𝐻 < 330 MeV at 95% confidence level. A combination of the on- and off-shell Higgs boson production decaying to four leptons is used to determine the Higgs boson width, assuming that no new virtual particles affect the production, a premise that is tested by adding new heavy particles in the gluon fusion loop model. This result is combined with a previous CMS analysis of the off-shell Higgs boson production with decay to two leptons and two neutrinos, giving a measured Higgs boson width of 3.0$^{+2.0}_{−1.5}$ MeV, in agreement with the standard model prediction of 4.1 MeV. The strength of the off-shell Higgs boson production is also reported. The scenario of no off-shell Higgs boson production is excluded at a confidence level corresponding to 3.8 standard deviations.

Prediction of Redox Potentials for Ac, Th, and Pa in Aqueous Solution

Density functional theory in conjunction with small core pseudopotentials and the associated basis sets was used to calculate potentials for multiple redox couples, covering a range of oxidation states for Ac (0 to III), Th (0 to IV), and Pa (0 to V) in aqueous solution. Solvation effects were incorporated using a supermolecule-continuum approach, with 30 water molecules representing two solvation shells, and the COSMO and SMD implicit solvation models. The calculated geometries for Ac(III), Th(IV), and Pa(V) were in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. Using the COSMO model with the B3LYP functional, the calculated redox potentials were within ± 0.2 V from experiment for most redox couples. Several pathways were explored for the Pa(V/IV) redox couple for different forms of Pa(V) and Pa(IV). Most Pa(V/IV) redox couples have very similar potentials, ranging from 0 to -0.4 V up to a pH of 1.4. At pH = 1.4, the potentials shift to values that are more negative than -0.7 V, reflecting the growing unfavorable nature of the redox process at higher pH levels. The calculated values for An(III/II) potentials were consistent with prior estimates and the available experimental data. The predicted redox potentials for An(II/I) were highly negative, as expected. For An(I/0) potentials, Th and Pa exhibited positive values, contrasting with the negative values calculated for Ac. Furthermore, the An +m /An(0) potentials agreed better with the experimental data when using the COSMO solvation model as compared to the SMD model.

Prediction of Redox Potentials for the Late Actinides Cm to Lr Using Electronic Structure Methods

Our previously developed computational method for calculating the aqueous redox potentials of the early actinides has been extended to the later elements in the actinide series: Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, and Lr in multiple oxidation states. These calculations were performed using density functional theory with small-core pseudopotentials and their associated basis sets. Solvation effects were considered via a supermolecule-continuum approach, with 30 water molecules representing two solvation shells. Both the COSMO and SMD implicit solvation models were utilized. The structural parameters and hydration numbers for Cm(III), Bk(III), Bk(IV), and Cf(III) are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. For redox processes involving atomic cations in solution, the B3LYP/COSMO approach predicted redox potentials to within ±0.2 V of experiment for most redox couples, consistent with our prior work. Inclusion of spin-orbit corrections in specific redox pairs, especially those with the later actinides in high oxidation states, yields improved results relative to calculations including only scalar-relativistic corrections. The An +m /An(0) redox potentials were calculated using a Born-Haber cycle incorporating sublimation, ionization, and hydration energies. Due to a lack of experimental data, three sets of ionization energies were used for the Born-Haber cycle. The calculated An(III/0) potentials showed better agreement with experimental data when using the COSMO solvation model and the test set comprising the NIST recommended ionization energies. Furthermore, the Md(II/0) potential was better described with the SMD model, whereas No(II/0) was not well described by all methods. Finally, the computational approach was able to predict redox potentials that for most cases agreed with the current available experimental or estimated data.

Chlorine and potassium enrichment in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant

The elements in the Universe are synthesized primarily in stars and supernovae, where nuclear fusion favours the production of even-Z elements. In contrast, odd-Z elements are less abundant and their yields are highly dependent on detailed stellar physics, making theoretical predictions of their cosmic abundance uncertain. In particular, the origin of odd-Z elements such as phosphorus (P), chlorine (Cl) and potassium (K), which are important for planet formation and life, is poorly understood. While the abundances of these elements in Milky Way stars are close to solar values, supernova explosion models systematically underestimate their production by up to an order of magnitude, indicating that key mechanisms for odd-Z nucleosynthesis are currently missing from theoretical models. Here we report the observation of P, Cl and K in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant using high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission data, with the detection of K at above the 6σ level being the most significant finding. Supernova explosion models of normal massive stars cannot explain the element abundance pattern, especially the high abundances of Cl and K, while models that include stellar rotation, binary interactions or shell mergers agree closely with the observations. Our observations suggest that such stellar activity plays an important role in supplying these elements to the Universe.

The Melting Behavior of Hydrogen Direct Reduced Iron in Molten Steel and Slag: An Integrated Computational and Experimental Study

Direct reduced iron (DRI) and hot briquetted iron (HBI) are essential feedstocks for tramp element control in the electric arc furnace (EAF). Due to greenhouse gas (GHG) concerns related to CO2 emissions, hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas and a reductant in DRI production is being widely explored to reduce GHG emissions in ironmaking. This study examines the melting behavior of hydrogen DRI (H-DRI) pellets in the EAF containing low-carbon (0.1 wt.%) molten steel and molten slag. A computational heat transfer model was developed to predict the melting behavior of H-DRI pellets. To validate the model, a set of experimental laboratory simulations was conducted by immersing H-DRI in a molten steel bath and slag. The temperature history at the center of the pellet during melting and the shell thickness at different melting stages were utilized to validate the model. The simulation results agree with the experimental measurements of steel balls and H-DRI in different metallic molten steel and slag baths.

Three-dimensional reconstruction of implosion stagnation in laser direct drive on OMEGA

Multidimensional effects on hot-spot formation must be considered to better understand the current limits on the performance of direct-drive inertial confinement fusion experiments on OMEGA with cryogenically layered solid deuterium–tritium targets. A comprehensive reconstruction effort has been established at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics to infer hot-spot and shell conditions at stagnation from a large collection of x-ray, neutron, and particle detectors along multiple lines of sight. Several time-gated and time-integrated x-ray imagers are being used to record the shape of the hot-spot plasma. A 3D hot-spot x-ray emission tomography technique has been developed to infer low-mode drive asymmetries from the hot-spot shape. A suite of neutron diagnostics is used to provide measurements of hot-spot flow velocity, ion temperature, and areal density. Here, the information obtained from the x-ray and neutron detectors will be combined into a coherent model of the shape of the hot spot and shell assembly.

Search for triple Higgs boson production in the 6⁢𝑏 final state using 𝑝⁢𝑝 collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for the production of three Higgs bosons (𝐻⁡𝐻⁡𝐻) in the $b\bar{b}b\bar{b}b\bar{b}$ final state is presented. The search uses 126 fb −1 of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ =13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis targets both nonresonant and resonant production of 𝐻⁡𝐻⁡𝐻. The resonant interpretations primarily consider a cascade decay topology of 𝑋 →𝑆⁢𝐻 → 𝐻⁡𝐻⁡𝐻 with masses of the new scalars 𝑋 and 𝑆 up to 1.5 and 1 TeV, respectively. In addition to scenarios where 𝑆 is off-shell, the nonresonant interpretation includes a search for Standard Model 𝐻⁡𝐻⁡𝐻 production, with limits on the trilinear and quartic Higgs self-coupling set. No evidence for 𝐻⁡𝐻⁡𝐻 production is observed. An upper limit of 59 fb is set, at the 95% confidence level, on the cross section for Standard Model 𝐻⁡𝐻⁡𝐻 production.

Large-scale calculations of 𝛽-decay rates and implications for 𝑟-process nucleosynthesis

Nuclear 𝛽 decay is a key element of the astrophysical rapid neutron capture process (𝑟 process). In this work, we present state-of-the-art global 𝛽-decay calculations based on the quantified relativistic nuclear energy density functional theory and the deformed proton-neutron quasiparticle random-phase approximation. Our analysis considers contributions from allowed and first-forbidden transitions. We used two point-coupling functionals with carefully calibrated time-odd terms and isoscalar pairing strength. The new calculations display consistent results for both employed functionals, especially near the neutron drip line, suggesting slower 𝛽 decays past the 𝑁=126 neutron shell closure than in commonly used 𝛽-decay models. The new rates, along with the existing rates based on the recent nonrelativistic global calculations, are found to slow down the synthesis of heavy elements in the 𝑟 process and significantly reduce the contribution of neutron-induced fission.

Mechanistic mass transfer in hollow fiber membrane solvent extraction for bio-based isobutanol

Membrane solvent extraction (MSE) has emerged as a promising method for selectively recovering bioproducts from complex aqueous streams. Bio-isobutanol, a next-generation feedstock for biofuel, remains challenging to recover because of its low concentration and the presence of inhibitory substances. This study explores the potential of hollow fiber (HF) MSE for bio-isobutanol recovery and systematically examines the coupled effects of fiber packing, shell-side flow dynamics, and aqueous chemistry on performance. A resistance-in-series model is applied to understand mass transfer in the HF MSE modules, quantify local resistances, and validate overall performance. The results show that increasing the fiber packing provides a larger interfacial area but induces poor flow distribution and channeling, hindering effective isobutanol transport. Meanwhile, increasing the shell-side velocity improves isobutanol recovery due to reductions in the boundary layer thickness. The presence of salts, added to mimic fermentation broth, increases the partition coefficient through salting-out effects, further improving isobutanol flux. A modified correlation for the shell-side mass transfer coefficient (k s,ϕ+v ), integrating geometric and hydrodynamic effects, was developed and validated. The proposed model achieves highly predictive accuracy (r 2 = 0.9808) across a wide range of conditions, outperforming previous models. The findings provide mechanistic insight into the interaction of geometric packing, hydrodynamics, and chemistry in governing mass transfer in HF MSE. Overall, this work demonstrates the potential of HF MSE for efficient bio-isobutanol recovery and also provides practical guidelines on critical factors (packing fraction, partition coefficient, and shell-side velocity), aiding in the design and scaling of MSE systems for resource recovery.

Real-Time KMC Simulation of Vacancy-Mediated Intermixing in Au@Ag Octahedral Core–Cubic Shell Nanocrystals with Ab Initio-Guided Kinetics

Utilization of core–shell rather than monometallic nanocrystals (NCs) facilitates fine-tuning of NC properties for applications. However, compositional evolution via intermixing can degrade these properties prompting recent experimental studies. We develop an atomistic-level stochastic model for vacancy-mediated intermixing exploiting a formalism which allows incorporation at an ab initio density functional theory level of not just the thermodynamics of vacancy formation, but also relevant diffusion barriers for a vast number of possible local environments (in the core and in the shell, at the interface, and in the intermixed phase). This facilitates a predictive treatment and comprehensive understanding of intermixing on the relevant time scale (e.g., 10 1 –10 3 s). In contrast, previous modeling at the atomistic level utilized only unrealistic generic prescriptions of barriers or employed simplified continuum treatments. For Au@Ag octahedral core–cubic shell NCs, our modeling not only captures the experimentally observed rate or time scale for intermixing of ~100 s at 450 °C for 60 nm NCs, but also elucidates the underlying rate controlling processes and the effective intermixing barrier.

StreamGen: Connecting Populations of Streams and Shells to Their Host Galaxies

In this work, we study how the abundance and dynamics of populations of disrupting satellite galaxies change systematically as a function of host galaxy properties. We apply a theoretical model of the phase-mixing process to classify intact satellite galaxies and stellar streamlike and shell-like debris in ∼1500 Milky Way–mass systems generated by a semi-analytic galaxy formation code, SatGen. In particular, we test the effect of host galaxy halo mass, disk mass, ratio of disk scale height to length, and stellar feedback model on disrupting satellite populations. We find that the counts of tidal debris are consistent across all host galaxy models, within a given host mass range, and that all models can have streamlike debris on low-energy orbits, consistent with that observed around the Milky Way. However, we find a preference for streamlike debris on lower-energy orbits in models with a thicker (lower-density) host disk or on higher-energy orbits in models with a more massive host disk. Importantly, we observe significant halo-to-halo variance across all models. These results highlight the importance of simulating and observing large samples of Milky Way–mass galaxies and accounting for variations in host properties when using disrupting satellites in studies of near-field cosmology.

Controlled Enzyme Cargo Loading in Engineered Bacterial Microcompartment Shells

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are nanometer-scale organelles with a protein-based shell that serve to colocalize and encapsulate metabolic enzymes. They may provide a range of benefits to improve pathway catalysis, including substrate channeling and selective permeability. Several groups are working toward using BMC shells as a platform for enhancing engineered metabolic pathways. The microcompartment shell of Haliangium ochraceum (HO) has emerged as a versatile and modular shell system that can be expressed and assembled outside its native host and with non-native cargo. Further, the HO shell has been modified to use the engineered protein conjugation system SpyCatcher–SpyTag for non-native cargo loading. Here, we used a model enzyme, triose phosphate isomerase (Tpi), to study non-native cargo loading into four HO shell variants and begin to understand maximal shell loading levels. We also measured activity of Tpi encapsulated in the HO shell variants and found that activity was determined by the amount of cargo loaded and was not strongly impacted by the predicted permeability of the shell variant to large molecules. All shell variants tested could be used to generate active, Tpi-loaded versions, but the simplest variants assembled most robustly. We propose that the simple variant is the most promising for continued development as a metabolic engineering platform.

AGR-5/6/7 Thermal Model with Non-uniform Gas Gaps

Fuel compact temperatures are a crucial factor in assessing the irradiation performance of tri-structural isotropic fuel particles. In the absence of direct measurement, fuel compact temperatures were calculated using a three-dimensional finite element thermal model, which is subject to simulation uncertainty. The most dominant factor in the uncertainty of calculated fuel temperatures is the gas gap uncertainty due to the nub-to-shell clearance caused by a design error of AGR-5/6/7 capsules. The thermal model was revised to examine the most probable graphite offset position for six different days during the irradiation for Capsules 1 and 2. The analysis varied the offset distance and azimuthal direction at both the top and bottom of the holder. The best-fit offset was estimated based on the minimum root mean square error of the residuals (measured minus calculated) for the operational thermocouples (TCs). From these results, the following conclusions were made: (1) The holder offsets led to slightly lower average temperatures but wider temperature variations (lower minimum and higher peak fuel temperatures) for both Capsule 1 and Capsule 2. (2) During earlier cycles (162A–164B), when numerous TCs were still operational, the best-fit offset distance varied over a specific range for both the top and bottom ([0.002–0.0035 in.] for Capsule 1 and [0.003-0.004 in] for Capsule 2). In contrast, the offset azimuthal direction varied widely, especially for the offset at the bottom of the Capsule 1 holder. This is because holder movement was somewhat constrained at the top of Capsule 1 by the TC leads running through the capsule head and into the holder and by the through tubes in Capsule 2, but the Capsule 1 bottom did not have this type of constraint. (3) During later cycles, when all TCs failed, applying the maximum possible offset of 0.006 in. to the northwest direction for both the top and bottom resulted in a calculated peak fuel temperature of 1557? in Capsule 1 (i.e., a 135? increase from 1422? with zero offset on September 20, 2019 (166A)); the maximum offset of 0.0068 in. to the south for both top and bottom resulted in a calculated peak fuel temperature of 1110°C in Capsule 2 on April 20, 2020 (i.e., a 116? increase from 994? with zero offset (168A)). High peak fuel temperatures in Capsule 1 during Cycle 166A could be the cause of massive particle failure near the end of this cycle. (4) Even though the highest temperature at the tip of Type-N TCs, such as TC-1-7, slightly exceeded 1000?, the temperature along the TC wire reached as high as 1335? assuming an offset of 0.006 in. in the northwest of Capsule 1 holder near the end of Cycle 166A. This temperature significantly exceeds the temperature threshold at which TC degradation is expected to occur, ultimately contributing to considerable particle failures in Capsule 1. For eight Type-N TCs in Capsule 2, the peak TC line temperature was much lower (i.e., 1029°C for TC-2-5), assuming maximum offset of 00068 in. to the south during cycle 168A.

Analytic bounds on late-time axion-scalar cosmologies

The cosmological dynamics of multiple scalar/pseudoscalar fields are difficult to solve, especially when the field-space metric is curved. This presents a challenge in determining whether a given model can support cosmic acceleration, without solving for the on-shell solution. In this work, we present bounds on late-time FLRW-cosmologies in classes of theories that involve arbitrary numbers of scalar and pseudoscalar fields coupled both kinetically (leading to a curved field space metric) and through scalar potentials. Such bounds are proven analytically, independently of initial conditions, with no approximation in the field equations and without referring to explicit solutions. Besides their broad applications to cosmological model building, our bounds can be applied to studying asymptotic cosmologies of certain classes of string compactifications.

Influence of chemical strains on the electrocaloric response, polarization morphology, tetragonality, and negative-capacitance effect of ferroelectric core-shell nanorods and nanowires

Using Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire (LGD) approach, we proposed the analytical description of the influence of chemical strains on spontaneous polarization and the electrocaloric response in ferroelectric core-shell nanorods. We postulate that the nanorod core presents a defect-free single-crystalline ferroelectric material, and elastic defects are accumulated in the ultrathin shell, where they can induce tensile or compressive chemical strains. Finite-element modeling (FEM) based on the LGD approach reveals transitions of domain-structure morphology induced by chemical strains in the Ba Ti O 3 nanorods. Namely, tensile chemical strains induce and support the single-domain state in the central part of the nanorod, while the curled domain structures appear near the unscreened or partially screened ends of the rod. The vortexlike domains propagate toward the central part of the rod and fill it entirely, when the rod is covered by a shell with compressive chemical strains above some critical value. The critical value depends on the nanorod sizes, aspect ratio, and screening conditions at its ends. Both analytical theory and FEM predict that the tensile chemical strains in the shell increase the nanorod polarization, lattice tetragonality, and electrocaloric response well above the values corresponding to the bulk material. The physical reason for the increase is strong electrostriction coupling between the mismatch-type elastic strains induced in the core by chemical strains in the shell. Comparison with earlier XRD data confirmed an increase of the tetragonality ratio in tensile Ba Ti O 3 nanorods compared to the bulk material. Obtained analytical expressions, which are suitable for the description of strain-induced changes in a wide range of multiaxial ferroelectric core-shell nanorods and nanowires, can be useful for strain engineering of advanced ferroelectric nanomaterials for energy storage, harvesting, electrocaloric applications, and negative capacitance elements.

Biasing from galaxy trough and peak profiles with the DES Y3 redMaGiC galaxies and the weak lensing mass map

We measure the correspondence between the distribution of galaxies and matter around troughs and peaks in the projected galaxy density, by comparing redMaGiC galaxies (0.15 < z < 0.65) to weak lensing mass maps from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Y3 data release. We obtain stacked profiles, as a function of angle θ, of the galaxy density contrast δ g and the weak lensing convergence κ, in the vicinity of these identified troughs and peaks, referred to as ‘void’ and ‘cluster’ superstructures. The ratio of the profiles depend mildly on θ, indicating good consistency between the profile shapes. We model the amplitude of this ratio using a function $F(\boldsymbol{\eta }, \theta )$ that depends on cosmological parameters $\boldsymbol{\eta }$, scaled by the galaxy bias. We construct templates of $F(\boldsymbol{\eta }, \theta )$ using a suite of N-body (‘Gower Street’) simulations forward-modelled with DES Y3-like noise and systematics. We discuss and quantify the caveats of using a linear bias model to create galaxy maps from the simulation dark matter shells. We measure the galaxy bias in three lens tomographic bins (near to far): $2.32^{+0.86}_{-0.27}, 2.18^{+0.86}_{-0.23}, 1.86^{+0.82}_{-0.23}$ for voids, and $2.46^{+0.73}_{-0.27}, 3.55^{+0.96}_{-0.55}, 4.27^{+0.36}_{-1.14}$ for clusters, assuming the best-fit Planck cosmology. Similar values with ∼0.1σ shifts are obtained assuming the mean DES Y3 cosmology. The biases from troughs and peaks are broadly consistent, although a larger bias is derived for peaks, which is also larger than those measured from the DES Y3 3 × 2-point analysis. This method shows an interesting avenue for measuring field-level bias that can be applied to future lensing surveys.

Hydrodynamical Simulations of Proton Ingestion Flashes in Type I X-Ray Bursts

We perform the first multidimensional fluid simulations of thermonuclear helium ignition underneath a hydrogen-rich shell. This situation is relevant to Type I X-ray bursts on neutron stars that accrete from a hydrogen-rich companion. Using the low-Mach number fluid code MAESTROeX, we investigate the growth of the convection zone due to nuclear burning, and the evolution of the chemical abundances in the atmosphere of the star. We also examine the convective boundary mixing processes that cause the evolution to differ significantly from previous one-dimensional simulations that rely on mixing-length theory. We find that the convection zone grows outward as penetrating fluid elements cool the overlying radiative layer, rather than directly from the increasing entropy of the convection zone itself. Simultaneously, these flows efficiently mix composition, carrying carbon out of and protons into the convection zone even before contact with the hydrogen shell. We discuss the implications of these effects for future modeling of these events and observations.

𝑁 = 8 Shell Breaking in 12 Be from a Single-Particle Perspective

Experimental observations of the low-lying states in 12 Be and their accurate modeling play an essential role in understanding the disappearance of the 𝑁 = 8 magic number. Long-standing experimental ambiguities have been clarified using an one-neutron adding (𝑑, 𝑝) reaction on 11 Be using the ISOLDE Solenoidal Spectrometer at CERN’s HIE-ISOLDE facility. The single-particle energies of 1⁢𝑠 1/2 , 0⁢𝑑 5/2 , and 0⁢𝑝 1/2 orbitals in 12 Be have been determined from the extracted spectroscopic factors. A significant reduction between the separation of 1⁢𝑠 1/2 and 0⁢𝑝 1/2 orbitals is found in comparison with the carbon isotones, highlighting the breakdown of the 𝑁 = 8 shell. These observations serve as an important test of different effects incorporated in theoretical models. It is found that two synergistic mechanisms, core deformation and weak binding, are responsible for the 𝑁 = 8 shell breaking and the exotic near-threshold phenomena observed in 12 Be, including the narrow unnatural-parity resonance $0^{-}_1$ and the possible halolike nature of the $0^+_2$ isomer.
