Standard Model Effective Field Theory is a model-independent way to characterize deviations from established physics. A new Suggestion explores the effects of including momentum dependent particle widths, with potential impacts on top observables. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new Suggestion presents the first lattice calculation of pseudoscalar meson transition form factors with physical light quark masses. These results are then used to compute dominant hadronic light-by-light contributions to the muon g-2. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

We're highlighting new work on soft theorems and asymptotic symmetries. Authors construct an extended phase space for Yang-Mills theories which can employ large gauge symmetries with charges corresponding to sub-leading soft theorems at any order. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new Suggestion develops a novel method for evaluating Feynman integrals using a bootstrap approach based on knowledge of their singularity structure. The technique can be extended to the special cases of integrals with equal or vanishing masses. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

Observed cosmology exhibits de Sitter spacetime, i.e. a positive cosmological constant. A new highlight shows how a metastable de Sitter vacua can be constructed from compactifications of Type II string theory at leading order in 𝛼′ and 𝑔ₛ. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

This Suggestion examines tidal spin, the time-evolving part of a star's spin affected by tidal forces in the late stages of a binary black hole merger. These forces may account for differences between simplified models and numerical simulations. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

The first SCOAP3 assessment of open science practices gave our journals high marks. A review of @PhysRevLetters, Physical Review C, and Physical Review D earned nearly double the total score of the next-highest publisher, showing our commitment to #OpenScience. Learn more:

Cosmic birefringence, a rotation of polarized CMB light, could signal new physics, but observing it requires care. A new Suggestion applies a dust-filament model which can mimic the signal to show its impact on present and future measurements. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new highlight considers an electromagnetism-like force between dark matter particles. Plasma-like instabilities in colliding dark matter clouds would slow their interpenetration, leading to strict limits on such a possibility from observations. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

The detailed phase structure of QCD remains an open topic of research. This Suggestion extends the Chiral Mean Field approach to hot, dense hadronic matter by including excited meson interactions, leading to improved agreement with lattice QCD. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

This highlight examines the cosmic calibration tension between distances inferred from Baryon Acoustic Oscillation data and supernovae. Resolving it suggests either modifying the pre-recombination expansion history or changes in multiple epochs. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

We're highlighting a pair of paper in PRL and PRD which demonstrate how black holes with non-singular solutions can form in modified gravity theories in 5 or higher dimensions. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A recent highlight revisits causality constraints on radiative transfer in relativistic hydrodynamics. Standard methods neglect the finite speed of light, but the authors show this can be resolved with stable covariant radiative transfer equations. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

The muon anomalous magnetic moment remains subject to conflicting theory calculations. A recent Suggestion uses lattice QCD to compute the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution in so-called short and intermediate windows with high precision. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

We're highlighting an extremely high energy (~300 TeV) photonlike air shower event seen by the Carpet-3 detector, which may be the highest-known-energy event associated with a Gamma Ray Burst. Such events may suggest exotic production mechanisms. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

New results from lattice QCD are used to compute the Compton amplitude subtraction function. This is a key component of the proton-neutron mass difference and the proton charge radius, and this Suggestion paves the way for a precise determination. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect conveys information on galaxy clusters in a non-Gaussian manner. A recent highlight shows how higher-order statistics applied to experiments can provide better cosmological constraints than the power spectrum alone. journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new Suggestion considers ultralight dark photons, which are highly constrained as a dark matter candidate by the potential formation of cosmic strings. The authors discuss mechanisms which can relax such limits and analyze experimental targets. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new Suggestion proposes to use stacks of HII reionization bubbles detected in upcoming SKA 21-cm data, which should behave like ideal spheres, to constrain the product of angular diameter distance and the Hubble constant. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

Non-Gaussian aspects of primordial gravitational waves could leave traces in cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization. In this highlight, authors use Planck PR4 data to constrain 11 primordial templates and discuss future advances. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…
