Conjecture on finitely many vanishing quadratic twists for higher-weight modular forms

Let ff be a newform of level Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N) and even weight kk with k6k\geq 6, let π\pi be the cuspidal automorphic representation of PGL2(A)\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb{A}) generated by ff, and let ε(12,πηE)\varepsilon(\frac{1}{2},\pi\otimes\eta_E) denote the root number associated with the twist by the quadratic character ηE\eta_E of a quadratic field EE. Finiteness conjecture. There are at most finitely many quadratic fields EE such that

ε(12,πηE)=1andL(12,πηE)=0.\varepsilon\left(\frac{1}{2},\pi\otimes\eta_E\right)=1 \quad\text{and}\quad L\left(\frac{1}{2},\pi\otimes\eta_E\right)=0.

The assertion strengthens the expected scarcity of central-value vanishings for even-weight modular forms of weight at least 66. It is explicitly described as still open, and the source notes that not even examples of modular forms satisfying it are known.
