Refining two-loop corrections to trilinear Higgs couplings in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

Johannes Braathen, Felix Egle, Alain Verduras Schaeidt

The precise determination of the Higgs self-couplings is an essential task for understanding electroweak symmetry breaking and probing physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The c…

Single-wave solutions of the neutrino fast flavor system. Part II. Weak instabilities and their resonant behavior

Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Georg G. Raffelt

Flavor instabilities in dense neutrino media trigger exponential growth of flavor waves, yet their nonlinear saturation remains poorly understood. We examine a simple proxy for thi…

Very-High-Frequency Gravitational Waves from Multi-Monodromy Inflation

Guido D'Amico, Andrew A. Geraci, Nemanja Kaloper +1

We show that in multi-stage axion monodromy inflation an interruption near the end of the penultimate stage can lead to a spike in the gravitational wave background. These gravitat…

Fermion (non)reheating with a quartic inflaton potential

Nabeen Bhusal, Ernesto Chávez M., Marcos A. G. Garcia +2

Any viable inflationary model must account for reheating of the universe prior to the onset of primordial nucleosynthesis. In this work, we study the (p)reheating mechanism for an…

Stellar Superradiance and Low-Energy Absorption in Dense Nuclear Media

Zhaoyu Bai, Vitor Cardoso, Yifan Chen +3

Ultralight bosons such as axions and dark photons are well-motivated hypothetical particles, whose couplings to ordinary matter can be effectively constrained by stellar cooling. L…

Assessing (H)EFT theory errors by pitting EoM against Field Redefinitions

Rodrigo Alonso, Christoph Englert, Wrishik Naskar +1

Truncations of effective field theory expansions are technically necessary but inherently intertwined with the redundancies of general field redefinitions. This can be viewed as a…

Stripped-Envelope Supernovae for QCD Axion Detection

Francisco R. Candón, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Ángel Gil Muyor +3

QCD axions would be copiously produced in the proto-neutron star formed in a core-collapse supernova (SN). After escaping, they would convert into gamma rays in the Galactic magnet…
