A Physics Model for Origin of Life
Paul Howard Frampton
In this article, we attempt to convince the reader that the origin of life was such an exceptionally unlikely event that it probably has never occurred elsewhere. This involves an…
Muon collider probes of Majorana neutrino dipole moments and masses
Michele Frigerio, Natascia Vignaroli
Majorana neutrinos may have transitional dipole moments, which violate lepton number as well as lepton flavour. We estimate the sensitivity of future colliders to the electron-muon…
Cosmology of axion dark matter
Ciaran A. J. O'Hare
I present an introduction and topical review on axions as a dark matter candidate. Emphasis is placed on issues surrounding the cosmology of axion dark matter that are relevant for…
Constraints on metastable superheavy dark matter coupled to sterile neutrinos with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +368
Dark matter particles could be superheavy, provided their lifetime is much longer than the age of the universe. Using the sensitivity of the Pierre Auger Observatory to ultra-high…
Cross section for supernova axion observation in neutrino water Cherenkov detectors
Pierluca Carenza, Giampaolo Co', Maurizio Giannotti +4
Axions coupled to nucleons might be copiously emitted from core-collapse supernovae (SNe). If the axion-nucleon coupling is strong enough, axions would be emitted from the SN as a…
Getting the most on supernova axions
Alessandro Lella, Pierluca Carenza, Giampaolo Co' +4
Axion-like particles (ALPs) coupled to nucleons might be copiously emitted from a supernova (SN) core. We extend existing bounds on free-streaming ALPs to the case in which these a…
Charged resonances and Minimal Dark Matter bound states at a multi-TeV muon collider
Natascia Vignaroli
A multi-TeV muon collider proves to be very efficient not only for the search for new heavy neutral particles, but also for the discovery of charged bosons of the type.…
Constraining axion-like particles with the diffuse gamma-ray flux measured by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory
Leonardo Mastrototaro, Pierluca Carenza, Marco Chianese +4
The detection of very high-energy neutrinos by IceCube experiment supports the existence of a comparable gamma-ray counterpart from the same cosmic accelerators. Under the likely a…
A novel viewpoint of Proton Decay
Paul H Frampton
We update the standard model d=6 operators of Weinberg (1979) using a modified notation which accommodates the bilepton extension of the standard model. This may lead to an enhance…
Additional Baryons and Mesons
Paul H. Frampton
In a particle theory model whose most readily discovered new particle is the TeV bilepton resonance in same-sign leptons, currently being sought at CERN's LHC, there exist…
Axion-like particles from primordial black holes shining through the Universe
Francesco Schiavone, Daniele Montanino, Alessandro Mirizzi +1
We consider a cosmological scenario in which the very early Universe experienced a transient epoch of matter domination due to the formation of a large population of primordial bla…
Non-Leptonic Decays of Bileptons
Gennaro Corcella, Claudio Coriano, Antonio Costantini +1
We provide a detailed analysis of the decays of doubly-charged bilepton gauge bosons , as predicted in models based on a symmetry.…
Hunting super-heavy dark matter with ultra-high energy photons
Luis A. Anchordoqui, Corinne Berat, Mario E. Bertaina +17
At any epoch, particle physics must be open to completely unexpected discoveries, and that is reason enough to extend the reach of searches for ultra-high energy (UHE) photons. The…
Turbulent axion-photon conversions in the Milky-Way
Pierluca Carenza, Carmelo Evoli, Maurizio Giannotti +2
The Milky-Way magnetic field can trigger conversions between photons and axion-like particles (ALPs), leading to peculiar features on the observable photon spectra. Previous studie…
Ultralight Axions Versus Primordial Black Holes
Claudio Corianò, PaulH. Frampton, Jihn E. Kim
We reconsider entropy arguments which have been previously argued to support the idea that the dark matter constituents are primordial black holes with many solar masses. It has re…
Searching for dark sectors in multi lepton final state in e+ e- collisions
Paolo Ciafaloni, Gabriele Martelli, Mauro Raggi
Electron positron collisions are a very promising environment to search for new physics, and in particular for dark sector related observables. The most challenging experimental pr…
Refined Mass Estimate for Bilepton Gauge Boson
Claudio Corianò, Paul H. Frampton
Using the most recent experimental data on parameters of the standard electroweak theory, as well as renormalisation group equations with a boundary matching condition, we derive a…
Conformal Unification in a Quiver Theory and Gravitational Waves
Claudio Corianò, Paul H. Frampton, Alessandro Tatullo
The detection of a stochastic background of gravitational waves can reveal details about first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) at a time of of the early universe. We sp…
effects to quarks and leptons from flavor unification
Paul H. Frampton, Sin Kyu Kang, Jihn E. Kim +1
In the family grand unification models (fGUTs), we propose that gauge U(1)'s beyond the minimal GUT gauge group are family gauge symmetries. For the symmetry , i.e. $Q_{2}…
Anticorrelation of Mass and Mixing Angle Hierarchies
Paul H. Frampton, Jihn E. Kim
We obtain a relationship between the hierarchies of mixing angles and of masses pertinent to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing matrix and the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagaw…
Tetrahedral Symmetry A in Anti-SU(5) GUT
Paul H. Frampton, Jihn E. Kim, Se-Jin Kim +1
We construct a flavor model in an anti-SU(5) GUT with a tetrahedral symmetry . We choose a basis where quarks and charged leptons are already mass eige…
An Axion-Like Particle from an Seesaw with
Claudio Corianò, Paul H. Frampton, Alessandro Tatullo +1
We investigate the decoupling of heavy right handed neutrinos in the context of an SO(10) GUT model, where a remnant anomalous symmetry is . In this model the see-saw mec…
Possible Bilepton Resonances in Like-Sign Pairs
Claudio Coriano, Paul H. Frampton
We consider pair production of bileptons at the LHC for the presently accumulated integrated luminosity of . It is shown that the entire mass range 800 GeV $…
Conformal Ward Identities and the Coupling of QED and QCD to Gravity
Claudio Coriano, Matteo Maria Maglio
We present a general study of 3-point functions of conformal field theory (CFT) in momentum space, following a reconstruction method for tensor correlators, based on the solution o…
