From the Great Wave of Translation to the Force between Quarks

Chris Quigg

The chance observation of a novel traveling wave in a canal led over time to the formulation of a nonlinear wave equation -- the Korteweg--de Vries equation -- that describes strik…

Heavy dark matter in rapidly evolving massive stars

Sandra Robles, Walter Tangarife, Giorgio Busoni

We study the impact of heavy dark matter (DM) captured in massive stars via scattering(s) with the star constituents. We focus on the first stars and use stellar evolution simulati…

Octet scalars shaping LHC distributions in 4-jet final states

Bogdan A. Dobrescu, Max H. Fieg

We study properties of a hypothetical scalar particle, , which is a color octet and an electroweak singlet. At hadron colliders, is pair produced through its QCD coupling to…

Quantum Calculations of the Cavity Shift in Electron Magnetic Moment Measurements

Hannah Day, Roni Harnik, Yonatan Kahn +2

The measurement of the anomalous electron magnetic moment through quantum transitions of a single trapped electron is the most stringent test of quantum field theory. These e…

NuFast-Earth: Efficient Atmospheric, Solar, and Supernova Neutrino Propagation Through the Earth

Peter B. Denton, Stephen J. Parke

Algorithms for computing neutrino oscillation probabilities in sharply varying matter potentials such as the Earth are becoming increasingly important. As the next generation of ex…

Prospects for Exploring Non-Standard Neutrino Properties with Argon-Based CEvNS Experiments

Sam Carey, Vishvas Pandey

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) provides a powerful framework for testing the Standard Model (SM) and searching for new physics at low energies. In this work,…

Iterative HOMER with uncertainties

Anja Butter, Ayodele Ore, Sofia Palacios Schweitzer +10

We present iHOMER, an iterative version of the HOMER method to extract Lund fragmentation functions from experimental data. Through iterations, we address the information gap betwe…

Cosmic-ray boosted inelastic dark matter from neutrino-emitting active galactic nuclei

R. Andrew Gustafson, Gonzalo Herrera, Mainak Mukhopadhyay +2

Cosmic rays may scatter off dark matter particles in active galactic nuclei, where both the densities of cosmic rays and dark matter are expected to be very large. These scattering…

Single pion-production and pion propagation in Achilles

Joshua Isaacson, William Jay, Alessandro Lovato +4

We extend the applicability of Achilles (A CHIcagoLand Lepton Event Simulator) by incorporating the single-pion production mechanism in a fully exclusive fashion. The electroweak i…

Multi-top signals of vectorlike quarks at the LHC

Elias Bernreuther, Bogdan A. Dobrescu

We point out that events with 6 or more top quarks may be observed at the LHC if certain particles exist at the TeV scale. In a model where a vectorlike quark of charge 2/3 decays…

Baryon-baryon, meson-meson, and meson-baryon interactions in nonrelativistic QCD

Benoît Assi, Anthony Grebe, Michael Wagman

Van der Waals potentials describing interactions between color-singlet mesons and/or baryons vanish at leading order in potential nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (pNRQCD). T…

Charged Loops at the Cosmological Collider with Chemical Potential

Arushi Bodas, Edward Broadberry, Raman Sundrum +1

Cosmological collider physics allows the detection of heavy particles at inflationary scales through their imprints on primordial non-Gaussianities. We study the chemical potential…

Gamma-Rays and Gravitational Waves from Inelastic Higgs Portal Dark Matter

Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha +1

We explore a simple and predictive dark matter scenario involving a complex scalar field, , coupled to the Higgs portal with no additional field content. In the UV, the field po…

From Capture to Collapse: Revisiting Black Hole formation by Fermionic Asymmetric Dark Matter in Neutron Stars

Sandra Robles, Drona Vatsyayan, Giorgio Busoni

Fermionic asymmetric dark matter (ADM) can be captured in neutron stars (NSs) via scatterings with the star constituents. The absence of dark matter annihilation due to its asymmet…
