Explaining the γγ + X excesses at ≈151.5 GeV via the Drell-Yan production of a Higgs triplet by Saiyad Ashanujjaman, Sumit Banik, Guglielmo Coloretti, Andreas Crivellin, Siddharth P. Maharathy, Bruce Mellado

“…While this mass is consistent with the multi-lepton anomalies, there is also an excess at ≈127 GeV with a significance of 3.6σ. However, the latter is inconsistent with the mass predicted by the multi-lepton anomalies and is in close proximity to the SM Higgs mass, suggesting the possibility of enhanced associated production of the SM Higgs.…”

The relationship between interpersonal trust, family capital, and physical activity behavior among university students: a cross-lagged study by Bo Li, Ying He, Xielin Zhou

“…A longitudinal follow-up survey was conducted among 412 college students in Sichuan Province, using the Interpersonal Trust Scale, Physical Activity Rating Scale, and Family Capital Scale, in two phases over eight weeks from early March (T1) to early May (T2) 2024. (1) The autoregressive path coefficients for interpersonal trust, family capital, and physical activity behavior were 0.51, 0.41, and 0.66, respectively, indicating good stability (p < 0.001). (2) Interpersonal trust at T1 positively predicted family capital at T2 (β = 0.28, p < 0.001), and family capital at T1 also positively predicted interpersonal trust at T2 (β = 0.23, p < 0.001), indicating a mutual influence between family capital and interpersonal trust. (3) Family capital at T1 did not predict physical activity behavior at T2 (p > 0.05), but physical activity behavior at T1 positively predicted family capital at T2 (β = 0.20, p < 0.001), indicating that physical activity behavior is a causal variable for family capital. (4) Interpersonal trust at T1 positively predicted physical activity behavior at T2 (β = 0.16, p < 0.001), while physical activity behavior at T1 did not predict interpersonal trust at T2 (p > 0.05), suggesting that interpersonal trust is a causal variable for physical activity behavior. (5) Family capital mediated the relationship between interpersonal trust and physical activity behavior (α = 0.046), with a confidence interval of [0.014,0.097]. There were no gender differences in the relationship between interpersonal trust, family capital, and physical activity behavior among college students. …”
