Defect Formation in NaI Crystals: A Novel Pathway to Dark Matter Detection

G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +44

Sodium iodide (NaI) is a widely used scintillator in direct dark matter searches. In particular, NaI-based cryogenic scintillating calorimeters have emerged as promising candidates…

Divergences in the hadronic light-by-light amplitude of the holographic soft-wall model

Josef Leutgeb, Jonas Mager, Anton Rebhan

We use the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation to uncover divergences and instances of non-commuting limits in a large class of holographic soft-wall models. We show that…

Jet quenching in out-of-equilibrium QCD matter

João Barata, Kirill Boguslavski, Florian Lindenbauer +1

We present the first study of jet substructure modifications during the bottom-up evolution that describes the early stages of heavy-ion collisions. To this end, we study the brems…

Minijet thermalization and jet transport coefficients in QCD kinetic theory

Kirill Boguslavski, Florian Lindenbauer, Aleksas Mazeliauskas +2

We apply weakly coupled QCD kinetic theory to investigate the thermalization of high-momentum on-shell partons (minijets) in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Our approach incorporates i…

Solving the QCD effective kinetic theory with neural networks

Sergio Barrera Cabodevila, Aleksi Kurkela, Florian Lindenbauer

Event-by-event QCD kinetic theory simulations are hindered by the large numerical cost of evaluating the high-dimensional collision integral in the Boltzmann equation. In this work…

Emerging axion detection in artificial magnetoelectric materials

Runyu Lei, Chen-Hui Xie, Jiayi Liu +5

Axions are considered a key component of dark matter, characterized by very weak couplings to fermions and Chern-Simons couplings to gauge fields. We propose a novel detection mech…
