The LHCb pentaquarks -- the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ -- have been theorized to be $Sigma_c bar{D}$ and $Sigma_c bar{D}^*$ S-wave molecules. Here we explore the possibility that two of these pentaquarks -- the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ -- contain in addition a $Lambda_c(2595) bar{D}$ component in P-wave. We will analyze the effects of this extra channel within two effective field theories: the first one will be a standard contact-range effective field theory and the second one will include the non-diagonal pion dynamics connecting the $Sigma_c bar{D}^*$ and $Lambda_c(2595) bar{D}$ channels, which happens to be unusually long-ranged. The impact of the coupled-channel dynamics between the $Sigma_c bar{D}^*$ and $Lambda_c(2595) bar{D}$ components is modest at best for the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$, which will remain to be predominantly $Sigma_c bar{D}^*$ molecules. However, if the quantum numbers of the $P_c(4457)$ are $J^P = frac{1}{2}^-$, the coupled-channel dynamics is likely to induce the binding of a $Lambda_c(2595) bar{D}$ S-wave molecule (coupled to $Sigma_c bar{D}^*$ in P-wave) with $J^P = frac{1}{2}^+$ and a mass similar to the $P_c(4457)$. If this is the case, the $P_c(4457)$ could actually be a double peak containing two different pentaquark states.

Effective Field Theories have been used successfully to provide a bottom-up description of phenomena whose intrinsic degrees of freedom behave at length scales far different from their effective degrees of freedom. An example is the emergent phenomenon of bound nuclei, whose constituents are neutrons and protons, which in turn are themselves composed of more fundamental particles called quarks and gluons. In going from a fundamental description that utilizes quarks and gluons to an effective field theory description of nuclei, the length scales traversed span at least two orders of magnitude. In this article we provide an Effective Field Theory viewpoint on the topic of emergence, arguing on the side of reductionism and weak emergence. We comment on Andersons interpretation of constructionism and its connection to strong emergence.
Effective field theory (EFT) approaches are widely used at the LHC, such that it is important to study their validity, and ease of matching to specific new physics models. In this paper, we consider an extension of the SM in which a top quark couples to a new heavy scalar. We find the dimension six operators generated by this theory at low energy, and match the EFT to the full theory up to NLO precision in the simplified model coupling. We then examine the range of validity of the EFT description in top pair production, finding excellent validity even if the scalar mass is only slightly above LHC energies, provided NLO corrections are included. In the absence of the latter, the LO EFT overestimates kinematic distributions, such that over-optimistic constraints on BSM contributions are obtained. We next examine the constraints on the EFT and full models that are expected to be obtained from both top pair and four top production at the LHC, finding for low scalar masses that both processes show similar exclusion power. However, for larger masses, estimated LHC uncertainties push constraints into the non-perturbative regime, where the full model is difficult to analyse, and thus not perturbatively matchable to the EFT. This highlights the necessity to improve uncertainties of SM hypotheses in top final states.
We consider the application of peaks theory to the calculation of the number density of peaks relevant for primordial black hole (PBH) formation. For PBHs, the final mass is related to the amplitude and scale of the perturbation from which it forms, where the scale is defined as the scale at which the compaction function peaks. We therefore extend peaks theory to calculate not only the abundance of peaks of a given amplitude, but peaks of a given amplitude and scale. A simple fitting formula is given in the high-peak limit relevant for PBH formation. We also adapt the calculation to use a Gaussian smoothing function, ensuring convergence regardless of the choice of power spectrum.
The anti-kaon nucleon scattering lengths resulting from a Hamiltonian effective field theory analysis of experimental data and lattice QCD studies are presented. The same Hamiltonian is then used to compute the scattering length for the $K^- d$ system, taking careful account of the effects of recoil on the energy at which the $bar{K}N$ T-matrices are evaluated. These results are then used to estimate the shift and width of the $1S$ levels of anti-kaonic hydrogen and deuterium. The $K^- p$ result is in excellent agreement with the SIDDHARTA measurement. In the $K^- d$ case the imaginary part of the scattering length and consequently the width of the $1S$ state are considerably larger than found in earlier work. This is a consequence of the effect of recoil on the energy of the $bar{K}N$ energy, which enhances the role of the $Lambda(1405)$ resonance.
We sketch the calculation of the pion structure functions within the DSE framework, following two alternative albeit consistent approaches, and discuss then their QCD evolution, the running driven by an effective charge, from a hadronic scale up to any larger one accessible to experiment.
