Intrinsic Nonlocality of Spin- and Polarization-Resolved Probabilities in Strong-Field Quantum Electrodynamics

Samuele Montefiori, Antonino Di Piazza, Tobias Podszus +2

Spin and polarization are central to precision tests of fundamental physics and for interpreting radiation from astrophysical sources and ultraintense laser-matter experiments. Her…

Testing lepton non-unitarity with the next generation of Germanium-based CENS reactor experiments

Salvador Centelles Chuliá, Manfred Lindner, Thomas Rink

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) has been experimentally confirmed using neutrinos from pion decay at rest, solar neutrinos and reactor antineutrinos. Future…

The quantum criticality of the Standard Model and the hierarchy problem

Juan P. Garcés, Florian Goertz, Manfred Lindner +1

The naturalness principle has long guided efforts to understand physics beyond the Standard Model, with the hierarchy problem as the central issue. We revisit the role of quantum c…

Two coincidences are a clue: Probing a GeV-scale dark QCD sector

Yi Chung

The similarity between the dark matter and baryon energy densities suggests an existence of a dark sector analogous to QCD. In addition, small-scale structure anomalies can be addr…

Stringent Constraints on New Pseudoscalar & Vector Bosons from Precision Hyperfine Splitting Measurements

Cedric de Jonge, Fabian Heiße, Joerg Jaeckel +3

Axion-like particles and similar new pseudoscalar as well as vector bosons coupled to nucleons and electrons are predicted to lead to spin-dependent forces in atoms and ions. We ar…

General form of effective operators from hidden sectors

Aqeel Ahmed, Zackaria Chacko, Ina Flood +2

We perform a model-independent analysis of the dimension-six terms that are generated in the low energy effective theory when a hidden sector that communicates with the Standard Mo…

in the Asymptotically Safe Standard Model

Álvaro Pastor-Gutiérrez, Jan M. Pawlowski, Manuel Reichert +1

We study the electron-positron to muon--anti-muon cross-section in the asymptotically safe Standard Model. In particular, we include the graviton contributions to the scattering am…

Comparable Dark Matter and Baryon energy densities from Dark Grand Unification

Yi Chung

We investigate a theory of dark grand unification, where dark matter consists of asymmetric dark baryons from the dark QCD sector. By unifying the dark color gaug…

Symmetries from outer automorphisms and unorthodox group extensions

Christian Döring, Andreas Trautner

Symmetries play an essential role in the construction and phenomenology of quantum field theories (QFTs). We discuss how to construct symmetries of QFTs by extending minimal "seed"…

Non-conservation of Lepton Numbers in the Neutrino Sector Could Change the Prospects for Core Collapse Supernova Explosions

Anna M. Suliga, Patrick Chi-Kit Cheong, Julien Froustey +5

We show that interactions violating the conservation of lepton numbers in the neutrino sector could significantly alter the standard low entropy picture for the pre-supernova colla…

Radiative Origin of Fermion Mass Hierarchy in Left-Right Symmetric Theory

Sudip Jana, Sophie Klett, Manfred Lindner +1

Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model, the hierarchy and patterns of fermion masses and mixings remain a profound mystery. To address this, we propose a model employ…

Restricting Sterile Neutrinos by Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

Sudip Jana, Lucas Puetter, Alexei Yu. Smirnov

The bounds on parameters of the eV and higher scale sterile neutrinos from the decay have been refined and updated. We present a simple and compact analytic expression for t…

How common are grand unified theories?

Johannes Herms, Maximilian Ruhdorfer

The individual fermion generations of the Standard Model fit neatly into a representation of a simple Grand Unified Theory gauge algebra. If Grand Unification is not realized in na…

Attenuation of Cosmic Ray Electron Boosted Dark Matter

Tim Herbermann, Manfred Lindner, Manibrata Sen

We consider a model of boosted dark matter (DM), where a fraction of DM is upscattered to relativistic energies by cosmic ray electrons. Such interactions responsible for boosting…

Non-Standard Interactions of Supernova Neutrinos and Mass Ordering Ambiguity at DUNE

Sudip Jana, Yago Porto

We show that non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) can notably modify the pattern of resonant flavor conversion of neutrinos within supernovae and significantly impact the neutr…

Observation of quantum effects on radiation reaction in strong fields

Eva E. Los, Elias Gerstmayr, Christopher Arran +28

Radiation reaction, the force experienced by an accelerated charge due to radiation emission, has long been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental research. Experime…

Phasing out of Darkness: From Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter to Neutrino Masses via Time-Dependent Mixing

Florian Goertz, Maya Hager, Giorgio Laverda +1

Sterile neutrinos are a compelling candidate for generating neutrino masses and for elucidating the nature of dark matter. Astrophysical X-ray constraints on sterile neutrino dark…
