Higgs Production in Association with a Dark-Z at Future Electron Positron Colliders

Pierce Giffin, Ian M. Lewis, Ya-Juan Zheng

In recent years there have been many proposals for new electron-positron colliders, such as the Circular Electron-Positron Collider, the International Linear Collider, and the Futu…

Higgs-mass predictions in the MSSM and beyond

P. Slavich, S. Heinemeyer, E. Bagnaschi +36

Predictions for the Higgs masses are a distinctive feature of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, where they play a crucial role in constraining the parameter space. T…

Comments on Axions, Domain Walls, and Cosmic Strings

Michael Dine, Nicolas Fernandez, Akshay Ghalsasi +1

Axions have for some time been considered a plausible candidate for dark matter. They can be produced through misalignment, but it has been argued that when inflation occurs before…

A natural mechanism for approximate Higgs alignment in the 2HDM

Patrick Draper, Andreas Ekstedt, Howard E. Haber

The 2HDM possesses a neutral scalar interaction eigenstate whose tree-level properties coincide with the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson. In light of the LHC Higgs data which sugge…

Absorption of Sub-MeV Fermionic Dark Matter by Electron Targets

Jeff A. Dror, Gilly Elor, Robert McGehee +1

We study a new class of signals where fermionic dark matter is absorbed by bound electron targets. Fermionic absorption signals in direct detection and neutrino experiments are sen…

Lowest Dimensional Portals to SU() Exotics

Tesla Jeltema, Stefano Profumo, Jaryd F. Ulbricht

New matter fields charged under the strong nuclear force would have dramatic phenomenological implications. Here, we systematically explore how these new states, which we postulate…

Large -ightmare Dark Matter

Logan Morrison, Stefano Profumo, Dean J. Robinson

A dark QCD sector is a relatively minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) that admits Dark Matter (DM) candidates but requires no portal to the visible sector beyond gravitati…

Characterizing Dark Matter Signals with Missing Momentum Experiments

Nikita Blinov, Gordan Krnjaic, Douglas Tuckler

Fixed target missing-momentum experiments such as LDMX and M are powerful probes of light dark matter and other light, weakly coupled particles beyond the Standard Model (SM).…

Asymptotic analysis of the Boltzmann equation for dark matter relic abundance

Logan A. Morrison, Hiren H. Patel, Jaryd F. Ulbricht

A solution to the Boltzmann equation governing the thermal relic abundance of cold dark matter is constructed by matched asymptotic approximations. The approximation of the relic d…

A tale of three diagonalizations

Howard E. Haber

In addition to the diagonalization of a normal matrix by a unitary similarity transformation, there are two other types of diagonalization procedures that sometimes arise in quantu…

Electron EDM in the complex two-Higgs doublet model

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Stefania Gori, Nick Hamer +1

We present the first complete two loop calculation of the electron EDM in the complex two-Higgs doublet model. We confirm gauge-independence by demonstrating analytic cancellation…

Dark Scalars and Heavy Neutral Leptons at DarkQuest

Brian Batell, Jared A. Evans, Stefania Gori +1

The proposed DarkQuest beam dump experiment, a modest upgrade to the existing SeaQuest/SpinQuest experiment, has great potential for uncovering new physics within a dark sector. We…

Right-handed Neutrino Dark Matter, Neutrino Masses, and non-Standard Cosmology in a 2HDM

G. Arcadi, S. Profumo, F. S. Queiroz +1

We explore the dark matter phenomenology of a weak-scale right-handed neutrino in the context of a Two Higgs Doublet Model. The expected signal at direct detection experiments is d…

Lepto-Axiogenesis

Raymond T. Co, Nicolas Fernandez, Akshay Ghalsasi +2

We propose a baryogenenesis mechanism that uses a rotating condensate of a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaking field and the dimension-five operator that gives Majorana neutrino ma…

Cosmological implications of the KOTO excess

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Benjamin V. Lehmann, Stefano Profumo

The KOTO experiment has reported an excess of events above the Standard Model prediction, in tension with the Grossman-Nir (GN) bound. The GN bound heavily constr…

Reinterpretation of LHC Results for New Physics: Status and Recommendations after Run 2

Waleed Abdallah, Shehu AbdusSalam, Azar Ahmadov +139

We report on the status of efforts to improve the reinterpretation of searches and measurements at the LHC in terms of models for new physics, in the context of the LHC Reinterpret…

Implications for Electric Dipole Moments of a Leptoquark Scenario for the -Physics Anomalies

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Stefania Gori, Hiren H. Patel +2

Vector leptoquarks can address the lepton flavor universality anomalies in decays associated with the and transitions, as observed in recent ye…

Addressing , , muon and ANITA anomalies in a minimal -parity violating supersymmetric framework

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Amarjit Soni +1

We analyze the recent hints of lepton flavor universality violation in both charged-current and neutral-current rare decays of -mesons in an -parity violating supersymmetric…

Cosmology and prospects for sub-MeV dark matter in electron recoil experiments

Benjamin V. Lehmann, Stefano Profumo

Dark matter is poorly constrained by direct detection experiments at masses below 1 MeV. This is an important target for the next generation of experiments, and several methods hav…

DES16C3cje: A low-luminosity, long-lived supernova

C. P. Gutiérrez, M. Sullivan, L. Martinez +89

We present DES16C3cje, a low-luminosity, long-lived type II supernova (SN II) at redshift 0.0618, detected by the Dark Energy Survey (DES). DES16C3cje is a unique SN. The spectra a…

Basis-independent treatment of the complex 2HDM

Rafael Boto, Tiago V. Fernandes, Howard E. Haber +2

The complex 2HDM (C2HDM) is the most general CP-violating two Higgs doublet model that possesses a softly-broken symmetry. However, the physical consequences of the…
