					Abstract: 
We analyzed two-loop planar contributions to a three-body form factor at next-to-leading power in the high-energy limit, where the masses of the external particles are much smaller than their energies. Calculations were performed by exploiting differential equations for the expansion coefficients, both to facilitate linear relations among them and to derive their analytic expressions. The results are expressed in terms of generalized polylogarithms involving a few simple symbol letters. Our method can readily be applied to calculations of non-planar contributions as well. Our results provide crucial information for establishing sub-leading factorization theorems for massive scattering amplitudes in the high-energy limit.

In this study, we investigated the impact of rotation on the thermodynamic properties of QCD matter using the three-flavor NJL model. We examined the dependencies of key thermodynamic quantities, such as the trace anomaly, specific heat, speed of sound, angular momentum, and moment of inertia, on temperature, quark chemical potential, and angular velocity. Our main finding is that the speed of sound exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior as the angular velocity varies.

					Abstract: 
The rare radioactive-isotope (RI) ring is an isochronous storage ring for deriving the masses of extremely short-lived rare RIs. Since the successful commissioning experiment in 2015, the time of flight mass measurement technique has been established through test experiments using unstable nuclei with well-known masses. The experiments for unknown masses were started in 2018. While conducting experiments, we continue to develop equipment to further improve the efficiency and precision of mass measurements. The upgraded kicker system can generate a magnetic field with an extractable duration equivalent to the revolution time of the ring. This is essential for extracting extremely rare events as well as shortening the measurement time compared with that in the initial experiments. New steering magnets make it possible to eliminate an uncertain vertical beam deviation that occurs upstream. As a result, we confirm that the extraction yield is increased. A new resonant Schottky pick-up is able to detect single particles in timeframes on the order of milliseconds. It will be useful not only for beam diagnostics but also for lifetime measurement experiments of extremely short-lived rare RIs planned as a future application.

					Abstract: 
A position-sensitive Schottky Cavity Doublet (SCD) was developed to enhance the accuracy of isochronous mass measurement at the Rare Radio-Isotope Ring (R3) at RIBF-RIKEN, Japan. The aim is to increase the accuracy of position measurement, which is used to correct the momentum spread, thus reducing the uncertainty in the mass determination. The detector comprises a cylindrical reference cavity and elliptical position-sensitive cavity, which uses an offset beam-pipe to create a relation between the Schottky power and horizontal position. The uncertainty in the power response can be improved by minimizing free parameters inside the power equation, providing a second-order correction for the position determination. This requires a large dispersion and momentum spread to effectively characterize the SCD acceptance, which simulations show is achieved when using 76Zn as a reference isotope. A key parameter to minimize is uncertainty of the impedance map, which relates power to position in the elliptical cavity. We find that an uncertainty in impedance of 0.3 Ω results in a precision equal to that of the current mass measurement method. Additionally, measuring momentum with the SCD enables the removal of other detectors from the beam-line, which drastically reduces the yield of high-Z beams via charge-change interactions.

					Abstract: 
Nuclear reaction studies on unstable isotopes can strongly help in improving our understanding of nucleosynthesis in stars. Indirect approaches to determining astrophysical reaction rates are increasingly common-place and undergoing continuous refinement. Of particular interest is the use of such indirect techniques at storage rings, which, among other aspects, allow to recycle rare unstable beams. We propose to investigate the reaction rates of astrophysical interest using indirect methods (surrogate, Trojan horse, etc.) in reverse kinematics at the IMP-CAS storage ring. Long lived radioactive ion beams, produced remotely, can be accelerated, and made to interact with light targets. The proposed reactions are 85Kr(p, p’γ), 85Kr(d, pγ), constraining the neutron flux in an s-process branching point, 79Se(p, p’γ), 79Se(d, pγ), constraining the temperature in s-process nucleosyntheses, and 59Fe(d, pγ), constraining core collapse supernovae.

					Abstract: 
We study the application of the dynamical eikonal approximation (DEA) to elastic scattering for Coulomb-dominated reactions at low energy. Our test case consists of elastic scattering for 8B, 9C, and 11Be on 208Pb at 21.3, 25.2 and 12.7 MeV/nucleon, respectively. We introduce an empirical correction to the DEA method to account for Coulomb deflection, which significantly improves the description of elastic scattering of weakly-bound nuclei on a heavy target. The angular distributions of elastic scattering obtained using the empirical correction show good agreement with experimental data down to approximately 10 MeV/nucleon. Furthermore, we study the the effect of relativistic kinematics corrections on the angular distributions of elastic scattering at incident energies between 20 and 60 MeV/nucleon. The results show that relativistic kinematics corrections are crucial for describing the angular distributions of elastic scattering as low as approximately 40 MeV/nucleon.

					Abstract: 
The effect of electron-electron interaction on positron emission in supercritical collisions of highly charged ions is studied within the monopole approximation using the time-dependent density functional theory and time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Slater methods. Positron production probabilities and energy spectra are calculated for U–U, U–Cm, and Cm–Cm collision systems, considering both bare nuclei and highly charged ions with partially filled electron shells. The results indicate that the screening of the nuclear potential by electrons as well as Pauli blocking substantially reduce positron production and suppress the characteristic signatures of spontaneous vacuum decay, previously found in collisions of bare nuclei.

Nuclear β-decay plays a pivotal role at various stages of stellar evolution. However, the effective decay rates of nuclei in astrophysical environments may differ significantly from their laboratory values.

We analyze the impact of astrophysical conditions on the β-decay of 26Al, 59Fe, 79Se, and 205Pb, revealing substantial variations in their effective half-lives within stellar environments.

					Abstract: 
In this study, a feedforward neural network (FNN) approach is employed to optimize three local mass models (GK, GKs, and GK+J). We find that adding physical quantities related to the pairing effect in the input layer can effectively improve the prediction accuracy of local models. For the known masses in AME2012, the FNN reduces the root-mean-square deviation between theory and experiment for the three mass models by 11 keV, 32 keV, and 623 keV. Among them, the improvement effect of the light mass region with mass number between 16 and 60 is better than that of medium and heavy mass regions. The approach also has good optimization results when extrapolating AME2012 to AME2020 and the latest measured masses after AME2020. Based on the improved mass data, the separation energies for single- and two-proton (neutron) emissions and α-decay energies are obtained, which agree well with the experiment.

					Abstract: 
In this study, we present expressions for the full effective potential corresponding to the one-photon exchange interaction between two fermions within the framework of the effective Schrödinger-like equation, derived exactly from the Bethe-Salpeter equation in quantum electrodynamics. The final effective potential is expressed in terms of eight scalar functions. When these scalar functions are expanded order by order in terms of velocities, we systematically recover the non-relativistic effective potential organized in terms of velocities. By retaining the exact momentum dependence in the effective potential, we estimate its corrections to the energy spectrum of hydrogen using a highly precise numerical method. A comparison is made between our numerical results and those obtained using conventional the bound-state perturbative theory. Our calculations suggest that this method can accurately account for all relativistic contributions. It would be interesting to extend these calculations to positronium, muonic hydrogen, and scenarios involving nuclear structure and radiative corrections.

					Abstract: 
One of the most critical issues in relativistic astrophysics is explaining the origin mechanisms of (ultra)high-energy charged particle components of cosmic rays. Black holes (BHs), which are vast reservoirs of (gravitational) energy, are candidates for such energetic cosmic ray sources. The main idea of this study is to investigate the effects of scalar-tensor-vector gravity (STVG) and so-called modified gravity (MOG) on charged particle acceleration by examining their dynamics and acceleration through the magnetic Penrose process (MPP) near magnetized Kerr BHs in MOG (Kerr-MOG BHs). First, we briefly study the horizon structure of the Kerr-MOG BH. Then, we derive the effective potential for the circular motion of charged particles by considering electromagnetic and MOG field interactions on the particles to gain insight into the stability of circular orbits. Our results show that the magnetic field can extend the region of stable circular orbits, whereas the STVG parameter reduces the instability of the circular orbit. Thus, from the examination of particle trajectories, we observe that, at fixed values of other parameters, the Schwarzschild BH captures the test particle; in the case of the Kerr BH, the test particle escapes to infinity or is captured by the BH, while in the Kerr-MOG BH, the test particle is trapped in some region around the BH and starts orbiting it at a smaller value of the MOG field parameter. By investigating the MPP, we found that, in stronger magnetic fields, the behavior of orbits becomes more chaotic. As a result, the particle escapes to infinity with high energies.

Then, we derive the effective potential for the circular motion of charged particles by considering electromagnetic and MOG field interactions on the particles to gain insight into the stability of circular orbits. Our results show that the magnetic field can extend the region of stable circular orbits, whereas the STVG parameter reduces the instability of the circular orbit. Thus, from the examination of particle trajectories, we observe that, at fixed values of other parameters, the Schwarzschild BH captures the test particle; in the case of the Kerr BH, the test particle escapes to infinity or is captured by the BH, while in the Kerr-MOG BH, the test particle is trapped in some region around the BH and starts orbiting it at a smaller value of the MOG field parameter. By investigating the MPP, we found that, in stronger magnetic fields, the behavior of orbits becomes more chaotic. As a result, the particle escapes to infinity with high energies.
