Top-quark effects in diphoton production through gluon fusion at NLO in QCD

Fabio Maltoni, Manoj K. Mandal, Xiaoran Zhao

At hadron colliders, the leading production mechanism for a pair of photons is from quark-anti-quark annihilation at the tree level. However, due to large gluon-gluon luminosity, t…

Atomki Anomaly in Family-Dependent Extension of the Standard Model

Luigi Delle Rose, Shaaban Khalil, Simon J. D. King +2

In the context of a gauge invariant, non-anomalous and family-dependent (non-universal) extension of the Standard Model, wherein a new high scale mechanism generates masses…

New Physics Suggested by Atomki Anomaly

Luigi Delle Rose, Shaaban Khalil, Simon J. D. King +1

We consider several extensions of the Standard Model (SM) which can explain the anomalies observed by the Atomki collaboration in the decay of excited states of Beryllium via a new…

Low-scale leptogenesis assisted by a real scalar singlet

Tommi Alanne, Thomas Hugle, Moritz Platscher +1

Standard thermal leptogenesis in the type-I seesaw model requires very heavy right-handed neutrinos (RHNs). This makes it hard to probe this scenario experimentally and results in…

Evaluating multi-loop Feynman integrals numerically through differential equations

Manoj K. Mandal, Xiaoran Zhao

The computation of Feynman integrals is often the bottleneck of multi-loop calculations. We propose and implement a new method to efficiently evaluate such integrals in the physica…

Planck mass and inflation as consequences of dynamically broken scale invariance

Jisuke Kubo, Manfred Lindner, Kai Schmitz +1

Classical scale invariance represents a promising framework for model building beyond the Standard Model. However, once coupled to gravity, any scale-invariant microscopic model re…

Like-sign dileptons with mirror type composite neutrinos at the HL-LHC

Matteo Presilla, Roberto Leonardi, Orlando Panella

Within a mirror type assignment for the excited composite fermions the neutrino mass term is built up from a Dirac mass, , which gives the mass of charged lepton component of…

Seeking leptoquarks in the plus missing energy channel at the high-luminosity LHC

Natascia Vignaroli

The plus missing energy channel is one of the most efficient to detect third-generation leptoquarks (LQs). It offers an important test to models which explain flavor anom…

Closing the window on single leptoquark solutions to the -physics anomalies

Andrei Angelescu, Damir Bečirević, Darius A. Faroughy +1

We examine various scenarios in which the Standard Model is extended by a light leptoquark state to solve for one or both -physics anomalies, viz. $R_{D^{(\ast)}}^\mathrm{exp}>…

Hot Axions and the tension

Francesco D'Eramo, Ricardo Z. Ferreira, Alessio Notari +1

Scattering and decay processes of thermal bath particles involving heavy leptons can dump hot axions in the primordial plasma around the QCD phase transition. We compute their reli…

Constraints on Spin-Dependent Dark Matter Scattering with Long-Lived Mediators from TeV Observations of the Sun with HAWC

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +91

We analyze the Sun as a source for the indirect detection of dark matter through a search for gamma rays from the solar disk. Capture of dark matter by elastic interactions with th…

Molière Scattering in Quark-Gluon Plasma: Finding Point-Like Scatterers in a Liquid

Francesco D'Eramo, Krishna Rajagopal, Yi Yin

By finding rare (but not exponentially rare) large-angle deflections of partons within a jet produced in a heavy ion collision, or of such a jet itself, experimentalists can find t…

The strange side of LHCb

Martino Borsato, Vladimir Gligorov, Diego Guadagnoli +2

We provide general effective-theory arguments relating present-day discrepancies in semi-leptonic -meson decays to signals in kaon physics, in particular lepton-flavour violatin…

Testable Axion-Like Particles In The Minimal Linear σ Model

Javier Alonso-Gonzalez, Luca Merlo, Federico Pobbe +2

Axion and axion-like particle models are typically affected by a strong fine-tuning problem in conceiving the electroweak and the Peccei-Quinn breaking scales. Within the context o…

A gauged horizontal symmetry and

Diego Guadagnoli, Méril Reboud, Olcyr Sumensari

One of the greatest challenges for models of anomalies is the necessity to produce a large contribution to a quark times a lepton current, , and to avo…

Learning New Physics from a Machine

Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Andrea Wulzer

We propose using neural networks to detect data departures from a given reference model, with no prior bias on the nature of the new physics responsible for the discrepancy. The vi…
