Read More More News COLLECTION Subject Focus: Astrophysics To mark the 243rd American Astronomical Society meeting, Physical Review Letters , Physical Review C , and highlighted several significant papers in astrophysics to illustrate the type of research these journals seek to publish. EDITORIAL expands coverage of astrophysics and astronomy January 24, 2022 With the goal of broadening its coverage of astrophysics, PRD hired astrophysicist Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz as an Associate Editor and appointed three experts in astrophysics to its Editorial Board. EDITORS’ SUGGESTION Rationality in four dimensions The authors prove (under some mild assumptions) the conjecture about the rationality of the trace anomaly central charges a and c in 4 D N = 2 superconformal theories. They work on the Higgs branch and use rigorous results from vertex operator algebras in their arguments. This closes some shortcomings of the Coulomb branch arguments and rigorously shows the generality of this intriguing property. Leonardo Rastelli and Brandon C. Rayhaun Phys. Rev. D 109 , 105018 (2024) EDITORS’ SUGGESTION Five-parton scattering in QCD at two loops Scattering processes that produce multiple jets in the final states are abundant at the Large Hadron Collider, which makes the computation of the corresponding theoretical high-precision predictions a crucial task to perform. By using different methods, two different collaborations computed the five-parton scattering amplitudes at two-loops in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) for any number of colors, that is including all non-planar Feynman diagrams. In PhysRevD.109.094023 and PhysRevD.109.094024, the authors employed analytic reconstruction methods for amplitude computations, which expose drastically simpler structures in two-loop helicity amplitudes. The authors of the other collaboration in PhysRevD.109.094025 used tensor projection in the ’t Hooft-Veltman scheme and found analytic results for the scattering amplitudes expressed in terms of massless pentagon functions.

D 109 , 094025 (2024) EDITORS’ SUGGESTION In-in correlators and scattering amplitudes on a causal set This paper deals with interacting quantum field theories on a causal set. Free theories on these sets have been copiously discussed but here, the authors develop perturbative expansions, in-in and in-out correlators and make a suggestion on how to define an S-matrix, a daunting task, given the absence of Cauchy surfaces in a causal set. Emma Albertini, Fay Dowker, Arad Nasiri, and Stav Zalel Phys. Rev. D 109 , 106014 (2024) EDITORS’ SUGGESTION Beta functions of 2D adjoint QCD The authors discuss 2 D QCD with adjoint massless fermions and its deformation by the two (classically) marginal four-fermion operators, only one of which respects a noninvertible symmetry. They compute the β functions of the two operators and discuss in detail their behavior in the IR, thereby clarifying some confusion in the literature stemming from different approaches, confinement behavior and treatment on the lattice. These are important results for this l a b o r a t o r y of confinement and lattice formulations. Aleksey Cherman and Maria Neuzil Phys. Rev. D 109 , 105014 (2024) NEWS AND COMMENTARY Making Neutron-Deficient Nuclei May 9, 2024 Adding neutrinos to an existing nucleosynthesis recipe can account for the puzzling existence of neutron-deficient heavy nuclei. Synopsis on: Zewei Xiong, Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo, Oliver Just, and Andre Sieverding Phys. Rev. Lett. 132 , 192701 (2024) EDITORS’ SUGGESTION n -gluon scattering in anti–de Sitter spacetime In a series of two papers, the authors introduce a new method to compute the tree-level n -gluon scattering amplitudes in anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS) space within the AdS/CFT duality. Working with Mellin amplitudes, the authors propose Feynman rules and show that they take a similar form as those in flat space. This intriguing similarity led the authors to propose a novel dictionary: comprehensive rules that bridge AdS Mellin amplitudes with flat-space gluon amplitudes. Jinwei Chu and Savan Kharel Phys.
