Universal Properties of Pseudoscalar Mediators

Martin Bauer, Martin Klassen, Valentin Tenorth

We discuss universal signals of consistent models of pseudoscalar mediators for collider searches for Dark Matter. Keeping only the degrees of freedom that can not be decoupled due…

Recent Physics Anomalies - a First Hint for Compositeness?

Adrián Carmona, Florian Goertz

We scrutinize the recently further strengthened hints for new physics in semileptonic -meson decays, focusing on the 'clean' ratios of branching fractions and …

Lepton Flavor Violation Induced by Dark Matter

Giorgio Arcadi, C. P. Ferreira, Florian Goertz +3

Guided by gauge principles we discuss a predictive and falsifiable UV complete model where the Dirac fermion that accounts for the cold dark matter abundance in our universe induce…

Inflation from High-Scale Supersymmetry Breaking

Valerie Domcke, Kai Schmitz

Supersymmetry breaking close to the scale of grand unification can explain cosmic inflation. As we demonstrate in this paper, this can be achieved in strongly coupled supersymmetri…

Extended Dark Matter EFT

Tommi Alanne, Florian Goertz

Conventional approaches to describe dark matter phenomenology at collider and (in)direct detection experiments in the form of dark matter effective field theory or simplified model…

Lepton Flavor Violation with Displaced Vertices

Julian Heeck, Werner Rodejohann

If light new physics with lepton-flavor-violating couplings exists, the prime discovery channel might not be but rather , where the new boson co…

Searching for Secluded Dark Matter with H.E.S.S., Fermi-LAT, and Planck

Stefano Profumo, Farinaldo S. Queiroz, Joseph Silk +1

Short-lived mediators are often used to describe dark matter interactions with Standard Model particles. When the dark matter mass is heavier than the mass of the mediator, it may…

Accessing Masses Beyond Collider Reach - in EFT

Florian Goertz

We demonstrate how masses of new states, beyond direct experimental reach, could nevertheless be extracted in the framework of effective field theory (EFT), given broad assumptions…

Partially composite Higgs models: Phenomenology and RG analysis

Tommi Alanne, Diogo Buarque Franzosi, Mads T. Frandsen +3

We study the phenomenology of partially composite-Higgs models where electroweak symmetry breaking is dynamically induced, and the Higgs is a mixture of a composite and an elementa…

Pseudoscalar Mediators: A WIMP model at the Neutrino Floor

Giorgio Arcadi, Manfred Lindner, Farinaldo S. Queiroz +2

Due to its highly suppressed cross section (fermionic) dark matter interacting with the Standard Model via pseudoscalar mediators is expected to be essentially unobservable in dire…

On the reinterpretation of non-resonant searches for Higgs boson pairs

Alexandra Carvalho, Florian Goertz, Ken Mimasu +2

The detection of production of a pair of Higgs bosons before the end of LHC operation would be clear evidence of New Physics (NP). As searches for non-resonant production of Higgs…

The Dark Side of Flipped Trinification

P. V. Dong, D. T. Huong, Farinaldo S. Queiroz +2

We propose a model which unifies the Left-Right symmetry with the gauge group, called flipped trinification, and based on the $SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes SU(3)_R\otime…

On the Role of Neutrinos Telescopes in the Search for Dark Matter Annihilations in the Sun

Nicolao Fornengo, Antonio Masiero, Farinaldo S. Queiroz +1

The observation of GeV neutrinos coming from the Sun would be an unmistakable signal of dark matter. Current neutrino detectors have so far failed to detect such a signal, however,…

Quark flavour-violating Higgs decays at the ILC

Daniele Barducci, Alexander J. Helmboldt

Flavour-violating Higgs interactions are suppressed in the Standard Model such that their observation would be a clear sign of new physics. We investigate the prospects for detecti…

Return of the X-rays: A New Hope for Fermionic Dark Matter at the keV Scale

Vedran Brdar, Joachim Kopp, Jia Liu +1

A long time ago (in 2014), in galaxies and galaxy clusters far, far away, several groups have reported hints for a yet unidentified line in astrophysical X-ray signals at an energy…

A partially composite Goldstone Higgs

Tommi Alanne, Diogo Buarque Franzosi, Mads T. Frandsen

We consider a model of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking with a partially composite Goldstone Higgs. The model is based on a strongly-interacting fermionic sector coupled to…

Neutrino Parameters from Reactor and Accelerator Neutrino Experiments

Manfred Lindner, Werner Rodejohann, Xun-Jie Xu

We revisit correlations of neutrino oscillation parameters in reactor and long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. A framework based on an effective value of is pre…

The Dark Sequential Z' Portal: Collider and Direct Detection Experiments

Giorgio Arcadi, Miguel D. Campos, Manfred Lindner +2

We revisit the status of a Majorana fermion as a dark matter candidate when a sequential Z' gauge boson dictates the dark matter phenomenology. Direct dark matter detection signatu…
