Dark Energy from Time Crystals
Laura Mersini-Houghton
In this work, we analyze a scalar field model which gives rise to stable bound states in field space characterized by nonzero motion that breaks the underlying time translation sym…
Baryon transport and the QCD critical point
Lipei Du, Xin An, Ulrich Heinz
Fireballs created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at different beam energies have been argued to follow different trajectories in the QCD phase diagram in which the QCD critic…
Cannibalism's lingering imprint on the matter power spectrum
Adrienne L. Erickcek, Pranjal Ralegankar, Jessie Shelton
The early universe may have contained internally thermalized dark sectors that were decoupled from the Standard Model. In such scenarios, the relic dark thermal bath, composed of t…
New Constraints on Dark Matter Production during Kination
Kayla Redmond, Adrienne L. Erickcek
Our ignorance of the period between the end of inflation and the beginning of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis limits our understanding of the origins and evolution of dark matter. One pos…
Kinetic Mixing at Strong Coupling
Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman, Piyush Kumar +2
A common feature of many string-motivated particle physics models is additional strongly coupled U(1)'s. In such sectors, electric and magnetic states have comparable mass, and int…
Pion structure function from leading neutron electroproduction and SU(2) flavor asymmetry
J. R. McKenney, Nobuo Sato, W. Melnitchouk +1
We examine the efficacy of pion exchange models to simultaneously describe leading neutron electroproduction at HERA and the flavor asymmetry in the proton. A det…
750 GeV Diphotons from a D3-brane
Jonathan J. Heckman
Motivated by the recently reported diphoton excess at 750 GeV observed by both CMS and ATLAS, we study string-based particle physics models which can accommodate this signal. Quite…
Bringing Isolated Dark Matter Out of Isolation: Late-time Reheating and Indirect Detection
Adrienne L. Erickcek, Kuver Sinha, Scott Watson
In standard cosmology, the growth of structure becomes significant following matter-radiation equality. In non-thermal histories, where an effectively matter-dominated phase occurs…
Antioscillons
Laura Mersini-Houghton
This proceeding is based on a talk I gave at the 13th Marcel Grossmann Meeting in Stockholm Sweden, on the role of topology on bubble collisions.
A Possible Reason for GeV
Paul H. Frampton, Pham Q. Hung
It is speculated that a possible reason for the scalar mass GeV is equality of the lifetimes for vacuum decay and instanton-induced proton decay.
"Heterotic" Discrete Flavor Model
Paul H. Frampton, Chiu Man Ho, Thomas W. Kephart
We present an extended 331 model with discrete flavor symmetry that simultaneously explains the need to have exactly three generations and provides acceptable quark and lepton…
Three Generations in Minimally Extended Standard Models
Paul H. Frampton, Chiu Man Ho, Thomas W. Kephart
We present a class of minimally extended standard models with the gauge group where for all , anomaly cancelation requires three ge…
Nonzero theta_13 signals nonmaximal atmospheric neutrino mixing
David A. Eby, Paul H. Frampton
From recent groundbreaking experiments, it is now known that the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing differs significantly from the tribimaximal model in which theta_13=0 and th…
Dark Matter from Binary Tetrahedral Flavor Symmetry
David A. Eby, Paul H. Frampton
The minimal renormalizable T'xZ2 model (MRT'M) is slightly extended in its Higgs scalar sector such that the abelian part of the flavor symmetry enlarges to (Z2xZ2'). All standard…
Quartification with T' Flavor
David A. Eby, Paul H. Frampton, Xiao-Gang He +1
In the simplest (non-quiver) unified theories, fermion families are often treated sequentially and a flavor symmetry may act similarly. As an alternative with non-sequential flavor…
LHC Higgs Production and Decay in the T' Model
Paul H. Frampton, Chiu Man Ho, Thomas W. Kephart +1
At TeV, the standard model needs at least integrated luminosity at LHC to make a definitive discovery of the Higgs boson. Using binary tetrahedral (…
Probing Variant Axion Models at LHC
Chuan-Ren Chen, Paul H. Frampton, Fuminobu Takahashi +1
We study collider implications of variant axion models which naturally avoid the cosmological domain wall problem. We find that in such models the branching ratio of can…
Hunting for New Physics with Unitarity Boomerangs
Paul H. Frampton, Xiao-Gang He
Although the unitarity triangles () carry information about the Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) quark mixing matrix, it explicitly contains just three parameters which is one short to…
Unitarity Boomerang
Paul H. Frampton, Xiao-Gang He
For the three family quark flavor mixing, the best parametrization is the original Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, , with four real parameters: three rotation angles …
Possible solution of dark matter, the solution of dark energy and Gell-Mann as great theoretician
Paul Howard Frampton
This talk discusses the formation of primordial intermediate-mass black holes, in a double-inflationary theory, of sufficient abundance possibly to provide all of the cosmological…
Primordial Black Holes as All Dark Matter
Paul H. Frampton, Masahiro Kawasaki, Fuminobu Takahashi +1
We argue that a primordial black hole is a natural and unique candidate for all dark matter. We show that, in a smooth-hybrid new double inflation model, a right amount of the prim…
Axigluon as Possible Explanation for Forward-Backward Asymmetry
Paul H. Frampton, Jing Shu, Kai Wang
A flavor-nonuniversal chiral color model is introduced. It is used for comparison to the recent data on . We concluded that the data are consistent with in…
Alternative Version of Chiral Color as Alternative to the Standard Model
Paul H. Frampton
In a variant of chiral color with the electroweak gauge group generalized to anomaly cancellation occurs more readily than in the case.…
Analysis of Quark Mixing Using Binary Tetrahedral Flavor Symmetry
David A. Eby, Paul H. Frampton, Shinya Matsuzaki
Using the binary tetrahedral group , the three angles and phase of the quark CKM mixing matrix are pursued by symmetry-breaking which involves -doublet VEVs and the C…
