Baryon Number Violation: From Nuclear Matrix Elements to BSM Physics

Leah J. Broussard, Andreas Crivellin, Martin Hoferichter +19

Processes that violate baryon number, most notably proton decay and $n n ˉ$ transitions, are promising probes of physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) needed to understand the…

Enhancing the Sensitivity to Seesaw Predictions in Gauged $B - L$ Scenarios

Francesco Capozzi, Bhaskar Dutta, Gajendra Gurung +4

New gauge bosons coupled to heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are simple and well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. In searches for HNLs in proton fixed-target experiments, we…

Hadron Collider Signatures of Lepton Number Violation in the Type II Seesaw Model

Patrick D. Bolton, Jonathan Kriewald, Miha Nemevšek +2

We examine the prospect of observing genuine lepton number violating (LNV) signals at hadron colliders in the context of the Type II seesaw mechanism. The model features smoking gu…

Axion Window on New Macroscopic Forces

Luca Di Luzio, Hector Gisbert, Fabrizio Nesti +1

Axion-mediated forces are enhanced by the presence of CP-violating axion couplings, which are however tightly constrained by electric dipole moment (EDM) searches. We discuss the u…

Constraints on metastable superheavy dark matter coupled to sterile neutrinos with the Pierre Auger Observatory

The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Abdul Halim, P. Abreu +368

Dark matter particles could be superheavy, provided their lifetime is much longer than the age of the universe. Using the sensitivity of the Pierre Auger Observatory to ultra-high…

Testing Lorentz invariance violation using cosmogenic neutrinos

M. A. Reyes, D. Boncioli, J. M. Carmona +1

Secondary messengers such as neutrinos and photons are expected to be produced in interactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with extragalactic background photons. Thei…

The Quest for the Nature of the Dark Matter: The Need of a New Paradigm

Fabrizio Nesti, Paolo Salucci, Nicola Turini

The phenomenon of the Dark matter baffles the researchers: the underlying dark particle has escaped so far the detection and its astrophysical role appears complex and entangled wi…

Left-Right Symmetry at FCC-hh

Miha Nemevšek, Fabrizio Nesti

We study the production of right-handed $W_{R}$ bosons and heavy neutrinos $N$ at a future 100 TeV high energy hadron collider in the context of Left-Right symmetry, including the ef…

Improved sensitivities of ESS $ν$ SB from a two-detector fit

F. Capozzi, C. Giunti, C. A. Ternes

We discuss the improvement of the sensitivity of ESS $ν$ SB to the discovery of CP violation and to new neutrino physics which can be obtained with a two-detector fit of the data of…

Probing high-energy solar axion flux with a large scintillation neutrino detector

Giuseppe Lucente, Newton Nath, Francesco Capozzi +2

We investigate the 5.49 MeV solar axions flux produced in the $p (d,^{3} He) a$ reaction and analyze the potential to detect it with the forthcoming large underground neutrin…

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in the PTOLEMY project: a theory update

PTOLEMY Collaboration, A. Apponi, M. G. Betti +58

We discuss the consequences of the quantum uncertainty on the spectrum of the electron emitted by the $β$ -processes of a tritium atom bound to a graphene sheet. We analyze quantita…

The QCD Adler function and the muon $g - 2$ anomaly from renormalons

Alessio Maiezza, Juan Carlos Vasquez

We describe the Adler function in Quantum Chromodynamics using a transseries representation within a resurgent framework. The approach is based on a Borel-Ecalle resummation of the…

Quantum gravity phenomenology at the dawn of the multi-messenger era -- A review

A. Addazi, J. Alvarez-Muniz, R. Alves Batista +157

The exploration of the universe has recently entered a new era thanks to the multi-messenger paradigm, characterized by a continuous increase in the quantity and quality of experim…

Unveiling Hidden Physics at the LHC

Oliver Fischer, Bruce Mellado, Stefan Antusch +30

The field of particle physics is at the crossroads. The discovery of a Higgs-like boson completed the Standard Model (SM), but the lacking observation of convincing resonances Beyo…

Are the CKM anomalies induced by vector-like quarks? Limits from flavor changing and Standard Model precision tests

Benedetta Belfatto, Zurab Berezhiani

Recent high precision determinations of $V_{u s}$ and $V_{u d}$ indicate towards anomalies in the first row of the CKM matrix. Namely, determination of $V_{u d}$ from superallowed bet…

Axion-mediated forces, CP violation and left-right interactions

Stefano Bertolini, Luca Di Luzio, Fabrizio Nesti

We compute the CP-violating (CPV) scalar axion coupling to nucleons in the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory and we apply the results to the case of left-right symmetr…

A possible shortcut for neutron-antineutron oscillation through mirror world

Zurab Berezhiani

Existing bounds on the neutron-antineutron mass mixing, $ε_{n n ˉ} < few \times 1 0^{- 24}$ eV, impose a severe upper limit on $n - n ˉ$ transition probability, $P_{n\bar…

Benedetta Belfatto, Revaz Beradze, Zurab Berezhiani

After the recent high precision determinations of $V_{u s}$ and $V_{u d}$ , the first row of the CKM matrix shows more than $4 σ$ deviation from unitarity. Two possible scenarios beyon…
