Playing with Neutrino Masses

Sheldon L. Glashow

Most of what is known about neutrino masses and mixings results from studies of oscillation phenomena. We focus on those neutrino properties that are not amenable to such studies:…

Supermodels for early LHC

Christian W. Bauer, Zoltan Ligeti, Martin Schmaltz +2

We investigate what new physics signatures the LHC can discover in the 2009-2010 run, beyond the expected sensitivity of the Tevatron data by 2010. We construct "supermodels", for…

Toward TeV Conformality

Thomas Appelquist, Adam Avakian, Ron Babich +11

We study the chiral condensate for an SU(3) gauge theory with massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation when is increased from 2 to 6. For $…

A Simple Explanation for DAMA with Moderate Channeling

Brian Feldstein, A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Emanuel Katz +1

We consider the possibility that the DAMA signal arises from channeled events in simple models where the dark matter interaction with nuclei is suppressed at small momenta. As with…

Form Factor Dark Matter

Brian Feldstein, A. Liam Fitzpatrick, Emanuel Katz

We present a dynamical alternative to inelastic dark matter as a way of reconciling the modulating signal seen at DAMA with null results at other direct detection experiments. The…

Mass-Matching in Higgsless

Adam Martin, Veronica Sanz

Modern extra-dimensional Higgsless scenarios rely on a mass-matching between fermionic and bosonic KK resonances to evade constraints from precision electroweak measurements. After…

An Effective Lagrangian for Low-Scale Technicolor

Kenneth Lane, Adam Martin

We present an effective Lagrangian for low-scale technicolor. It describes the interactions at energies near the mass of the lowest-lying bound states of the lightest technifermion…

Leptogenic Supersymmetry

Andrea De Simone, JiJi Fan, Veronica Sanz +1

Leptogenic supersymmetry is a scenario characterized by cascade decays with copious lepton production. Leptogenic models have striking signatures that can be probed by the LHC even…
