A new Suggestion examines Bjorken flow in an ultrarelativistic gas, demonstrating that the moment expansion diverges. However, the series can be resummed, allowing one to construct the single particle distribution function with stable results . #EdSugg go.aps.org/4dw5uNL

Weak lensing studies can be confounded by the pre-lensed Intrinsic Alignment of galaxies. This highlight uses a sample of blue, star-forming galaxies from the DES Y3 catalog to minimize IA bias, leading to better fits for cosmological parameters. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

Parton Distribution Functions can be estimated via their Mellin moments using lattice QCD. This highlight applies recent gradient flow methods to overcome difficulties with higher moments arising from the broken rotational symmetry of the lattice. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

Future colliders with unprecedented experimental precision will require a concomitant improvement in theory. This Suggestion introduces a method to systematically include NNLO electroweak corrections with resummation in the Sherpa event generator. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

APS Open Science’s first papers are here. Our new community-driven, open access journal supports research at every stage. Read its inaugural papers on controlling the geometry of 3D soliton knots and hybrid materials for ultrafast photonic and optical devices: journals.aps.org/apsos/recent

This Suggestion presents the largest map of galaxy weak lensing to date, combining data on over 270 million galaxies in 13,000 deg^2 from the DECADE and DES Year 3 surveys. The map provides a powerful tool for cosmological and large-scale analyses. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

R-process neutron capture can generate heating in neutron star mergers and other events, but requires complex simulations to estimate. A recent highlight implements a new scheme with machine learning to efficiently study these effects on ejecta. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

Collapsar black holes can generate a jet of outflowing particles with sufficiently strong magnetic fields and spin. A new Suggestion shows how neutrino cooling can help maintain sufficient angular momentum in the BH disk to power such jets. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new highlight shows how combing information on cosmic voids along with galaxy summary statistics can enhance our measurement of cosmological model parameters. The authors demonstrate their technique with DESI 5 year data. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

The QCD phase diagram may manifest a critical point at non-zero chemical potential. A new Suggestion studies how this point might be probed in event-by-event fluctuations in particle multiplicity produced from heavy ion collisions. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

Visitors to the PRD website may notice we have a new placard listing trending papers in the journal. Check here to see current papers drawing interest from the media and in the community. We'll post updates on X as well. journals.aps.org/prd/ #PRDTrending

From Physics Magazine we have a Synopsis on a recent PRD. Tidal forces in merging binaries may alter the gravitational wave signal enough to statistically distinguish black holes and neutron stars in a large enough sample of ambiguous events. #EdSugg physics.aps.org/articles/v19/s…

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the south pole has provided many insights into the astrophysical neutrino flux reaching Earth. A new highlight show evidence of a "knee" or break in the power law describing the neutrino flux vs energy spectrum. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

A new highlight presents predictions for doubly polarized inclusive WZ production at the LHC with fully leptonic decays. The cross section is estimated with state of the art precision by Including NNLO QCD + NLO electroweak corrections. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

Data from NICER informs Pulsar Profile Modeling, which then constrains the Equation of State of cold dense matter. This Suggestion presents a new Bayesian approach with EOS-informed priors that improves fitting while reducing computational costs. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…

How much mass is contained in an arbitrary sphere centered on the Sun? This highlight uses the divergence theorem and acceleration of millisecond pulsars to estimate. In future this method may help constrain the local distribution of dark matter. #EdSugg journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…
