Standard Model False Vacuum Inflation: Correlating the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio to the Top Quark and Higgs Boson masses

Isabella Masina, Alessio Notari

For a narrow band of values of the top quark and Higgs boson masses, the Standard Model Higgs potential develops a false minimum at energies of about GeV, where primordia…

The Higgs mass range from Standard Model false vacuum Inflation in scalar-tensor gravity

Isabella Masina, Alessio Notari

If the Standard Model is valid up to very high energies it is known that the Higgs potential can develop a local minimum at field values around GeV, for a narrow…

Limits on Self-Interacting Dark Matter

Chris Kouvaris

We impose new severe constraints on the self-interactions of fermionic asymmetric dark matter based on observations of nearby old neutron stars. WIMP self-interactions mediated by…

Light-Front Holography, Light-Front Wavefunctions, and Novel QCD Phenomena

Stanley J. Brodsky, Guy F. de Teramond

Light-Front Holography, a remarkable feature of the AdS/CFT correspondence, maps amplitudes in anti-de Sitter (AdS) space to frame-independent light-front wavefunctions of hadrons…

Closed forms and multi-moment maps

Thomas Bruun Madsen, Andrew Swann

We extend the notion of multi-moment map to geometries defined by closed forms of arbitrary degree. We give fundamental existence and uniqueness results and discuss a number of ess…

Timelike Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces with Singularities

David Brander, Martin Svensson

We use integrable systems techniques to study the singularities of timelike non-minimal constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space. The singularities a…

Extended Tree-Level Gauge Mediation

Maurizio Monaco, Marco Nardecchia, Andrea Romanino +1

Tree-level gauge mediation (TGM) is a scenario of SUSY breaking in which the tree-level exchange of heavy (possibly GUT) vector fields generates flavor-universal sfermion masses. I…

S-parameter at Non-Zero Temperature and Chemical Potential

Ulrik Ishøj Søndergaard, Claudio Pica, Francesco Sannino

We compute the finite-temperature and matter density corrections to the S-parameter at the one loop level. At non-zero temperature T and matter density Lorentz symmetry breaks and…

Light Dilaton at Fixed Points and Ultra Light Scale Super Yang Mills

Oleg Antipin, Matin Mojaza, Francesco Sannino

We investigate the infrared dynamics of a nonsupersymmetric SU(X) gauge theory featuring an adjoint fermion, Nf Dirac flavors and an Higgs-like complex Nf x Nf scalar which is a ga…

Setting the Renormalization Scale in QCD: The Principle of Maximum Conformality

Stanley J. Brodsky, Leonardo Di Giustino

A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD predictions is the uncertainty in determining the renormalization scale of the running coupling The purpose of the…

Island of Stability for Consistent Deformations of Einstein's Gravity

Felix Berkhahn, Dennis Dietrich, Stefan Hofmann +2

We construct explicitly deformations of Einstein's theory of gravity that are consistent and phenomenologically viable since they respect, in particular, cosmological backgrounds.…

Charge Asymmetric Cosmic Rays as a probe of Flavor Violating Asymmetric Dark Matter

Isabella Masina, Francesco Sannino

The recently introduced cosmic sum rules combine the data from PAMELA and Fermi-LAT cosmic ray experiments in a way that permits to neatly investigate whether the experimentally ob…

Cosmic Ray Electron and Positron Excesses from a Fourth Generation Heavy Majorana Neutrino

Isabella Masina, Francesco Sannino

Unexpected features in the energy spectra of cosmic rays electrons and positrons have been recently observed by PAMELA and Fermi-LAT satellite experiments, opening to the exciting…

Improved Lattice Spectroscopy of Minimal Walking Technicolor

Francis Bursa, Luigi Del Debbio, David Henty +6

We present a numerical study of spectroscopic observables in the SU(2) gauge theory with two adjoint fermions using improved source and sink operators. We compare in detail our imp…

Consistency of Relevant Cosmological Deformations on all Scales

Felix Berkhahn, Dennis D. Dietrich, Stefan Hofmann

Using cosmological perturbation theory we show that the most relevant defor- mation of gravity is consistent at the linear level. In particular, we prove the absence of uni- tarity…

A Parton Shower for High Energy Jets

Jeppe R. Andersen, Leif Lonnblad, Jennifer M. Smillie

We present a method to match the multi-parton states generated by the High Energy Jets Monte Carlo with parton showers generated by the Ariadne program using the colour dipole mode…

Vanilla Technicolor at Linear Colliders

Mads T. Frandsen, Matti Jarvinen, Francesco Sannino

We analyze the reach of Linear Colliders (LC)s for models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that LCs can efficiently test the compositeness scale, identified with…

Composite Higgs to two Photons and Gluons

Tuomas Hapola, Francesco Sannino

We introduce a simple framework to estimate the composite Higgs boson coupling to two-photon in Technicolor extensions of the standard model. The same framework allows us to predic…

Cosmological Classicalization: Maintaining Unitarity under Relevant Deformations of the Einstein-Hilbert Action

Felix Berkhahn, Dennis D. Dietrich, Stefan Hofmann

Generic relevant deformations of Einstein's gravity theory contain additional degrees of freedom that have a multi-facetted stabilization dynamics on curved spacetimes. We show tha…
