A Proof-of-Concept Study of Multitask Learning for Cranial Synthetic CT Generation Across Heterogeneous MRI Field Strengths

Accurate synthesis of computed tomography (CT) images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is clinically valuable for cranial applications such as attenuation correction, radiotherapy planning, and image-guided interventions. However, heterogeneity across MRI field strengths and acquisition protocols limits the generalizability of existing methods. In this study, we formulate cranial CT synthesis as a modular, structurally coupled problem and propose a deep learning framework to improve robustness across heterogeneous MRI conditions. The model is designed to adapt to variations in field strength and imaging protocols while preserving anatomical consistency. Experiments on multi-site datasets demonstrate improved performance and generalization compared with conventional approaches. The proposed method enables reliable CT synthesis across heterogeneous MRI settings, supporting broader clinical translation.

$η$ and $η'$ mesons from $N_f = 2+1$ lattice QCD at the physical point using topological charge operators

By fitting the two-point correlation functions of topological charge density operators calculated on two $2+1$-flavor gauge ensembles with physical pion mass, we determine both the $η$ and $η'$ masses and also the mixing angle to be $m_η= 0.505(72)(75)$ GeV, $m_{η'}=0.952(47)(40)$ GeV, and $θ_1 = -8.9(2.1)(1.8)^\circ$, respectively, where the first error is the statistical uncertainty and the second one is the systematic uncertainty. This is the first extraction of both $η/η'$ masses and the mixing angle $θ_1$ using topological charge operators. Compared with previous studies using quark bilinear operators, the error of the $η$ mass is relatively large, but the mixing angle has comparable precision. This demonstrates that the topological charge operators are well suited to study the $η$ and $η'$ mesons.

Distribution Amplitudes of $K^*$ and $ϕ$ at Physical Pion Mass from Lattice QCD

We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the distribution amplitudes of longitudinally and transversely polarized vector mesons $K^*$ and $ϕ$ using large momentum effective theory. We use the clover fermion action on three ensembles with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ) action, generated by MILC collaboration, at physical pion mass and \{0.06, 0.09, 0.12\} fm lattice spacings, and choose three different hadron momenta $P_z=\{1.29, 1.72, 2.15\}$ GeV. The resulting lattice matrix elements are nonperturbatively renormalized in a hybrid scheme proposed recently. An extrapolation to the continuum and infinite momentum limit is carried out. We find that while the longitudinal distribution amplitudes tend to be close to the asymptotic form, the transverse ones deviate rather significantly from the asymptotic form. Our final results provide crucial {\it ab initio} theory inputs for analyzing pertinent exclusive processes.

First Lattice QCD determination of semileptonic decays of charmed-strange baryons $Ξ_c$

While the standard model is the most successfully theory to describe all interactions and constituents in elementary particle physics, it has been constantly examined for over four decades. Weak decays of charm quarks can measure the coupling strength of quarks in different families and serve as an ideal probe for CP violation. As the lowest charm-strange baryons with three different flavors, $Ξ_c$ baryons (made of $csu$ or $csd$) have been extensively studied in experiments at the large hadron collider and in electron-positron collision. However the lack of reliable knowledge in theory becomes the unavoidable obstacle in the way. In this work, we use the state-of-the-art Lattice QCD techniques, and generate 2+1 clover fermion ensembles with two lattice spacings, $a=(0.108{\rm fm},0.080{\rm fm})$. We then present the first {\it ab-initio} lattice QCD determination of form factors governing $Ξ_{c}\to Ξ\ell^+ν_{\ell}$, analogous with the notable $β$-decay of nuclei. Our theoretical results for decay widths are consistent with and about two times more precise than the latest measurements by ALICE and Belle collaborations. Together with experimental measurements, we independently determine the quark-mixing matrix element $|V_{cs}|$, which is found in good agreement with other determinations.

Nonperturbative Determination of Collins-Soper Kernel from Quasi Transverse-Momentum Dependent Wave Functions

In the framework of large-momentum effective theory at one-loop matching accuracy, we perform a lattice calculation of the Collins-Soper kernel which governs the rapidity evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) distributions. We first obtain the quasi TMD wave functions at three different meson momenta on a lattice with valence clover quarks on a dynamical HISQ sea and lattice spacing $a=0.12$~fm from MILC, and renormalize the pertinent linear divergences using Wilson loops. Through one-loop matching to the light-cone wave functions, we determine the Collins-Soper kernel with transverse separation up to 0.6~fm. We study the systematic uncertainties from operator mixing and scale dependence, as well as the impact from higher power corrections. Our results potentially allow for a determination of the soft function and other transverse-momentum dependent quantities at one-loop accuracy.

The next-to-leading order corrections to rho meson electromagnetic form factors in the $k_T$ factorization approach

In this paper we calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) corrections to $ρ$-meson electromagnetic form factors by employing the $k_T$ factorization approach. We find that the NLO correction to $F_i (Q^2)(i=LT,TL)$ is around $30\%$ of the leading-order (LO) contributionin the region $Q^2>2GeV^2$. The NLO correction to $F_{LL}(Q^2)$ is close to $20\%$ of the LO one in the region $Q^2>3GeV^2$. The NLO radiative corrections to the electric, magnetic, and quadruple form factors $F_j(Q^2) (j=1,2,3)$ are sizeable in magnitude and agree with those from other approaches.

The perturbative QCD factorization of $ργ^{\star} \to ρ$

In this paper we firstly demonstrate step by step that the factorization hypothesis is valid at the next-to-leading order (NLO) for the exclusive process $ργ^{\star} \to ρ$ by employing the collinear factorization approach, and then extend this proof to the case of the $k_T$ factorization by taking into account the transversal momentum of the light external quark (anti-quark) lines in the $ρ$ meson. At the NLO level, we then show that the soft divergences from different sub-diagrams will be canceled each other in the quark level, while the remaining collinear divergences can be absorbed into the NLO meson wave functions. The full NLO amplitudes can therefore be factorized as the convolution of the NLO wave functions $ Φ^{(1)}_ρ$ and the infrared-finite leading order (LO) hard kernels $G^0_{X,IJ,kl}$ in the $k_T$ factorization. We also write down the polarized NLO $ρ$ meson wave functions in the form of nonlocal hadron matrix elements with the gauge factor integral path deviating from the light cone. These NLO $ρ$ meson wave functions can be used to calculate the NLO hard corrections to some relevant exclusive processes, such as $B \to ρ$ transition.

The $ργ^* \to π(ρ)$ transition form factors in the Perturbative QCD factorization approach

In this paper, we studied the $ργ^* \to π$ and $ργ^*\to ρ$ transition processes and made the calculations for the $ρπ$ transition form factor $Q^4 F_{ρπ}(Q^2)$ and the $ρ$ meson electromagnetic form factors, $F_{\rm LL, LT,TT}(Q^2)$ and $F_{1,2,3}(Q^2)$, by employing the perturbative QCD (PQCD) factorization approach. For the $ργ^* \to π$ transition, we found that the contribution to form factor $Q^4 F_{ρπ}(Q)$ from the term proportional to the distribution amplitude combination $ϕ^T_ρ(x_1)ϕ^P_π(x_2)$ is absolutely dominant, and the PQCD predictions for both the size and the $Q^2$-dependence of this form factor $Q^4 F_{ρπ}(Q^2)$ agree well with those from the extended ADS/QCD models or the light-cone QCD sum rule. For the $ργ^* \to ρ$ transition and in the region of $Q^2\geq 3$ GeV$^2$, further more, we found that the PQCD predictions for the magnitude and their $Q^2$-dependence of the $F_1(Q^2)$ and $F_2(Q^2)$ form factors agree well with those from the QCD sum rule, while the PQCD prediction for $F_3(Q^2)$ is much larger than the one from the QCD sum rule.
