Black Hole Portal into Hidden Valleys

Sergei Dubovsky, Victor Gorbenko

Superradiant instability turns rotating astrophysical black holes into unique probes of light axions. We consider what happens when a light axion is coupled to a strongly coupled h…

A model of color confinement

Daniel Zwanziger

A simple model is presented that describes the free energy of QCD coupled to an external current that is a single plane wave, . The model satisfies…

Muonic hydrogen and MeV forces

David Tucker-Smith, Itay Yavin

We explore the possibility that a new interaction between muons and protons is responsible for the discrepancy between the CODATA value of the proton radius and the value deduced f…

Consistent Scenarios for Cosmic-Ray Excesses from Sommerfeld-Enhanced Dark Matter Annihilation

Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Lisa Goodenough, Tracy R. Slatyer +2

Anomalies in direct and indirect detection have motivated models of dark matter consisting of a multiplet of nearly-degenerate states, coupled by a new GeV-scale interaction. We pe…

Limit on the mass of a long-lived or stable gluino

G. R. Farrar, R. Mackeprang, D. Milstead +1

We reinterpret the generic CDF charged massive particle limit to obtain a limit on the mass of a stable or long-lived gluino. Various sources of uncertainty are examined. The -h…

Integrating Out Astrophysical Uncertainties

Patrick J. Fox, Jia Liu, Neal Weiner

Underground searches for dark matter involve a complicated interplay of particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics and astrophysics. We attempt to remove the uncertainties a…
