Twisted Feynman Integrals: from generating functions to spin-resummed post-Minkowskian dynamics / Kim, Joon-Hwi (Caltech) ; Kim, Jung-Wook (CERN ; Potsdam, Max Planck Inst.) ; Lim, Jungwon (Garching, Max Planck Inst.)
We propose to call a class of deformed Feynman integrals as twisted Feynman integrals, where the integrand has an additional exponential factor linear in loop momenta. [...]

Quirks Live in Cool Universes / Asadi, Pouya (UC, Santa Cruz) ; Kribs, Graham D. (Oregon U. ; CERN) ; Luty, Markus A. (UC, Davis, QMAP)
We demonstrate that cosmological observations place strong bounds on the reheat temperature $T_\text{RH}$ of the Standard Model (SM) in minimal models of `quirks' -- heavy fermions transforming under the SM gauge group together with a new non-Abelian gauge interaction with a confinement scale far below the mass of the fermions.

Probing invisible particles with charm / Hiller, Gudrun (Dortmund U. ; CERN) ; Suelmann, Dominik (Dortmund U.)
We point out opportunities to probe invisible particles, left- and right-handed neutrinos, axion-like particles (ALPs) and dark photons $(Z^\prime)$ with rare decays of charm hadrons. [...]

The heavy quark-antiquark asymmetry in the variable flavor number scheme / Behring, A. (Garching, Max Planck Inst.) ; Blümlein, J. (DESY ; Dortmund U.) ; De Freitas, A. (Linz U., RISC) ; von Manteuffel, A. (Regensburg U.) ; Schneider, C. (Linz U., RISC) ; Schönwald, K. (CERN)
The twist-2 heavy-quark and antiquark distributions, as defined in the variable flavor number scheme, turn out to be different due to QCD corrections from three-loop onward. [...]
