On light dilaton extensions of the Standard Model

Eugenio Megias, Oriol Pujolas, Mariano Quiros

We discuss the presence of a light dilaton in Conformal Field Theories deformed by a single scalar operator, in the holographic realization consisting of confining Renormalization…

The time-dependent Aharonov-Casher effect

Douglas Singleton, Jaryd Ulbricht

In this paper we give a covariant expression for Aharonov-Casher phase. This expression is a combination of the canonical electric field, Aharonov-Casher phase plus a magnetic fiel…

Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…

On the Pure Spinor Heterotic Superstring Ghost

Thiago Fleury

A simplified pure spinor superstring ghost in a curved heterotic background was constructed recently. The ghost is a composite operator and it is not holomorphic. However,…

Scattering Light by Light at 750 GeV at the LHC

Sylvain Fichet, Gero von Gersdorff, Christophe Royon

We consider the possibility that the diphoton excess at 750 GeV is caused by a new scalar resonance produced in photon fusion. This scenario is parametrised by only one relevant ef…

Sequestered gravity in gauge mediation

Ignatios Antoniadis, Karim Benakli, Mariano Quiros

We present a novel mechanism of supersymmetry breaking embeddable in string theory and simultaneously sharing the main advantages of (sequestered) gravity and gauge mediation. It i…

Primordial Black Holes Formation from Particle Production during Inflation

Encieh Erfani

We study the possibility that particle production during inflation can source the required power spectrum for dark matter (DM) primordial black holes (PBH) formation. We consider t…

The tail effect in gravitational radiation-reaction: time non-locality and renormalization group evolution

Chad R. Galley, Adam K. Leibovich, Rafael A. Porto +1

We use the effective field theory (EFT) framework to calculate the tail effect in gravitational radiation reaction, which enters at 4PN order in the dynamics of a binary system. Th…

Elimination and recursions in the scattering equations

Carlos Cardona, Chrysostomos Kalousios

We use the elimination theory to explicitly construct the (n-3)! order polynomial in one of the variables of the scattering equations. The answer can be given either in terms of a…

All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients with LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +934

We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in two sets of data collected by the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston detectors between November…

A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920

We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…

SIMP Dark Matter

Nicolas Bernal, Xiaoyong Chu

Dark matter with strong self-interactions provides a compelling solution to several small-scale structure puzzles. Under the assumption that the coupling between dark matter and th…

Production Regimes for Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Nicolas Bernal, Xiaoyong Chu, Camilo Garcia-Cely +2

In the context of Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a solution for the small-scale structure problems, we consider the possibility that Dark Matter could have been produced without b…

Search for dark matter produced in association with a Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks in collisions at TeV with the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

This article reports on a search for dark matter pair production in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks, using data from of colli…

First low frequency all-sky search for continuous gravitational wave signals

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +921

In this paper we present the results of the first low frequency all-sky search of continuous gravitational wave signals conducted on Virgo VSR2 and VSR4 data. The search covered th…

Vector boson scattering at the LHC. A study of the WW -> WW channels with the Warsaw cut

Marco Fabbrichesi, Michele Pinamonti, Alberto Tonero +1

We study W boson scattering in the same- and opposite-sign channels under the assumption that no resonances are present in the collider processes $pp\rightarrow l^{\pm}ν_{l}l^{\pm}…

Aharonov-Bohm phase for an electromagnetic wave background

Max Bright, Douglas Singleton, Atsushi Yoshida

The canonical Aharonov-Bohm effect is usually studied with time-independent potentials. In this work, we investigate the Aharonov-Bohm phase acquired by a charged particle moving i…

On membrane interactions and a three-dimensional analog of Riemann surfaces

Stefano Kovacs, Yuki Sato, Hidehiko Shimada

Membranes in M-theory are expected to interact via splitting and joining processes. We study these effects in the pp-wave matrix model, in which they are associated with transition…
