EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Search for an Invisibly Decaying $Z^{'}$ Boson at Belle II in $e^{+} e^{-} \to μ^{+} μ^{-} (e^{\pm} μ^{\mp})$ Plus Missing Energy Final States

I. Adachi et al. (Belle II Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 141801 (2020) - Published 6 April, 2020

The Belle II experiment finds no $Z^{'}$ boson in its first results, but it does constrain how strongly the particle might interact with standard model particles.

Ferromagnetic Quantum Critical Point in Noncentrosymmetric Systems

T. R. Kirkpatrick and D. Belitz

Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 147201 (2020) - Published 7 April, 2020

At absolute zero, some metals transition smoothly, rather than abruptly, from magnetic to nonmagnetic behavior.

Robert S. Hoy and Martin Kröger

Does Scrambling Equal Chaos?

Tianrui Xu, Thomas Scaffidi, and Xiangyu Cao

Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 140602 (2020) - Published 7 April, 2020

Out-of-time-order correlators can grow exponentially due to underlying physical effects distinct from quantum chaos, such as unstable fixed points, and thus may be dominated by local dynamics for a certain class of models.
