Chiral magnetic superconductivity

Dmitri E. Kharzeev

Materials with charged chiral quasiparticles in external parallel electric and magnetic fields can support an electric current that grows linearly in time, corresponding to divergi…

Anatomy of chiral magnetic effect in and out of equilibrium

Dmitri E. Kharzeev, Mikhail A. Stephanov, Ho-Ung Yee

We identify a new contribution to the chiral magnetic conductivity at finite frequencies -- the magnetization current. This allows to quantitatively reproduce the known field-theor…

Heavy-Light Mesons in Chiral AdS/QCD

Yizhuang Liu, Ismail Zahed

We discuss a minimal holographic model for the description of heavy-light and light mesons with chiral symmetry, defined in a slab of AdS space. The model consists of a pair of chi…

Revisiting Supernova 1987A Constraints on Dark Photons

Jae Hyeok Chang, Rouven Essig, Samuel D. McDermott

We revisit constraints on dark photons with masses below ~ 100 MeV from the observations of Supernova 1987A. If dark photons are produced in sufficient quantity, they reduce the am…

Updated fit to three neutrino mixing: exploring the accelerator-reactor complementarity

Ivan Esteban, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni +2

We perform a combined fit to global neutrino oscillation data available as of fall 2016 in the scenario of three-neutrino oscillations and present updated allowed ranges of the six…

Heavy Exotic Molecules

Yizhuang Liu, Ismail Zahed

We briefly review the formation of pion-mediated heavy-light exotic molecules with both charm and bottom, under the general strictures of chiral and heavy quark symmetries. The cha…

Detection of sub-GeV Dark Matter and Solar Neutrinos via Chemical-Bond Breaking

Rouven Essig, Jeremy Mardon, Oren Slone +1

We explore a new low-threshold direct-detection concept for dark matter, based on the breaking of chemical bonds between atoms. This includes the dissociation of molecules and the…

Searching for Dark Absorption with Direct Detection Experiments

Itay M. Bloch, Rouven Essig, Kohsaku Tobioka +2

We consider the absorption by bound electrons of dark matter in the form of dark photons and axion-like particles, as well as of dark photons from the Sun, in current and next-gene…

Resonance decay effect on conserved number fluctuations in a hadron resonance gas model

D. K. Mishra, P. Garg, P. K. Netrakanti +1

We study the effect of charged secondaries coming from resonance decay on the net-baryon, net-charge and net-strangeness fluctuations in high energy heavy-ion collisions within the…

Direct Detection of sub-GeV Dark Matter with Scintillating Targets

Stephen Derenzo, Rouven Essig, Andrea Massari +2

We describe a novel search for MeV-to-GeV-mass dark matter, in which the dark matter scatters off electrons in a scintillating target. The excitation and subsequent de-excitation o…
