Strongly Interacting Dark Matter from Sp(4) Gauge Theory

The stable hadronic bound states in a hidden new non-Abelian gauge sector provide interesting candidates for strongly-interacting Dark Matter Walking Stick (DM).A particular example are theories in which DM is made up of dark pions which set the DM relic abundance through self-annihilation.One of the simplest realizations is Sp(4)c gauge theory wit

Comparative transcriptomic analysis provides insights into the regulation of root-specific saponin production in Panax japonicus

Abstract Panax japonicus, a traditional medicinal plant from the Araliaceae family, produces bioactive triterpenes with health benefits.In Traditional Chinese Medicine, its roots have been used, but the chemical basis of its medicinal use is unclear, particularly regarding the metabolism and regulation of triterpene saponin biosynthesis.This study
