Energy correlators offer a clean probe of quantum chromodynamics, serving as an ideal laboratory to rigorously investigate non-perturbative power corrections. The recent discovery that linear corrections exhibit a universal anomalous scaling points to a deep, underlying theoretical structure. We uncover the quantum field-theoretic origin of this phenomenon in the energy-energy correlator using light-ray operators. Through an explicit loop calculation, we derive the one-loop anomalous dimension, revealing that the dijet operator must be combined with a specific triple-jet component. This provides a first-principles framework that connects operator theory with high-precision collider phenomenology.
We present an amplitude analysis of high-energy polarized photoproduction of $π^-Δ^{++}$ within a Regge exchange framework. A Regge amplitude model incorporating $π$, $ρ$, $b_1$, and $a_2$ trajectory exchanges is fit simultaneously to spin density matrix elements measured by the GlueX experiment at photon energies of $E_γ= 8.2$--$8.8$ GeV and differential cross section data from SLAC. By including SDME data, the fit constrains not only the magnitudes but also the relative phases of the helicity amplitudes. The results confirm the dominance of pion exchange at small momentum transfer, while natural parity exchanges become significant at larger $t$. We analytically continue the $s$-channel amplitude to the $t$-channel, taking care of the kinematical singularities, and isolate the dynamical residues at the meson poles. The extracted $πNΔ$ coupling constant is found to be consistent with the value obtained from the decay width of the $Δ(1232)$. For the $ρNΔ$, $b_1 NΔ$, and $a_2 NΔ$ vertices, first extractions of the relevant coupling constants are provided.
We present the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) collinear resummation of projected $N$-point energy correlators (ENCs) up to $N=6$, matched to fixed-order predictions at NLO, in both electron-positron annihilation and Higgs decay to gluons. The key new ingredient is the two-loop jet function for $N=4,5,6$, which we compute semi-analytically using Integration-by-Parts and differential equations. We further include the leading non-perturbative corrections for ENCs, described by two universal soft matrix elements $\overlineΩ_{1q},\overlineΩ_{1g}$ of order $Λ_{\rm QCD}$, whose evolution is governed by anomalous dimensions for $(N-1)$-point correlators. The matched distributions are compared with parton-shower simulations from Pythia8 and Herwig7, and we study the sensitivity of both the absolute spectra and their ratios to the two-point energy correlator under variations of $α_s$ and $\overlineΩ_{1q,1g}$. Our results show that higher-point projected energy correlators are now under quantitative control at NNLL accuracy, opening the door to future $α_s$ extractions with complementary systematics.
Photometric data from the ASAS - South (declination less than 29 deg) survey have been used for identification of bright stars located near the sources from the ROSAT All Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (RBSC). In total 6028 stars brighter than 12.5 mag in I- or V -bands have been selected and analyzed for periodicity. Altogether 2302 variable stars have been found with periods ranging from 0.137 d to 193 d. Most of these stars have X-ray emission of coronal origin with a few cataclysmic binaries and early type stars with colliding winds. Whenever it was possible we collected data available in the literature to verify periods and to classify variable objects. The catalog includes 1936 stars (1233 new) considered to be variable due to presence of spots (rotationally variable), 127 detached eclipsing binary stars (33 new), 124 contact binaries (11 new), 96 eclipsing stars with deformed components (19 new), 13 ellipsoidal variables (4 new), 5 miscellaneous variables and one pulsating RR Lyr type star (blended with an eclipsing binary). More than 70% of new variable stars have amplitudes smaller than 0.1 mag, but for ASAS 063656-0521.0 we have found the largest known amplitude of brig
