Production of Thermal Axions across the ElectroWeak Phase Transition

Fernando Arias-Aragon, Francesco D'Eramo, Ricardo Z. Ferreira +2

Light axions can potentially leave a cosmic background, just like neutrinos. We complete the study of thermal axion production across the electroweak scale by providing a smooth an…

Higgs-mass predictions in the MSSM and beyond

P. Slavich, S. Heinemeyer, E. Bagnaschi +36

Predictions for the Higgs masses are a distinctive feature of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, where they play a crucial role in constraining the parameter space. T…

A Note on Gauge Anomaly Cancellation in Effective Field Theories

Ferruccio Feruglio

The conditions for the absence of gauge anomalies in effective field theories (EFT) are rivisited. General results from the cohomology of the BRST operator do not prevent potential…

Leptoquarks and Real Singlets: A Richer Scalar Sector Behind the Origin of Dark Matter

Francesco D'Eramo, Nejc Košnik, Federico Pobbe +2

We investigate scenarios with scalar leptoquarks that act as portals between the Standard Model and Dark Matter. We assume that Dark Matter is a scal…

Cooling of young neutron stars and dark gauge bosons

Deog Ki Hong, Chang Sub Shin, Seokhoon Yun

The standard cooling scenario in the presence of nucleon superfluidity fits rather well to the observation of the neutron stars. It implies that the stellar cooling arguments could…

Probing the muon g-2 anomaly with the Higgs boson at a Muon Collider

Dario Buttazzo, Paride Paradisi

We point out that heavy new physics contributions in leptonic dipole moments and high-energy cross-sections of lepton pairs into Higgs bosons and photons are connected model-indepe…

Lower Mass Bounds on FIMP Dark Matter Produced via Freeze-In

Francesco D'Eramo, Alessandro Lenoci

Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs) are dark matter candidates that never thermalize in the early universe and whose production takes place via decays and/or scatterings o…

Hunting for CP-violating axionlike particle interactions

Luca Di Luzio, Ramona Gröber, Paride Paradisi

The impact of axion-like particles (ALPs) on the search of permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of molecules, atoms, nuclei and nucleons is systematically investigated. We clas…

Quantum Boltzmann equation for fermions: An attempt to calculate the NMR relaxation and decoherence times using quantum field theory techniques

Hassan Manshouri, Ahmad Hoseinpour, Moslem Zarei

Extracting macroscopic properties of a system from microscopic interactions has always been an interesting topic with the most diverse applications. Here, we use the quantum Boltzm…

Cosmic Imprints of XENON1T Axions

Fernando Arias-Aragon, Francesco D'Eramo, Ricardo Z. Ferreira +2

The recent electron recoil excess observed by XENON1T has a possible interpretation in terms of solar axions coupled to electrons. If such axions are still relativistic at recombin…

Direct detection of vector dark matter through electromagnetic multipoles

Junji Hisano, Alejandro Ibarra, Ryo Nagai

Dark matter particles, even if they are electrically neutral, could interact with the Standard Model particles via their electromagnetic multipole moments. In this paper, we focus…

Lepton flavor violations in SUSY models for muon with right-handed neutrinos

Ryo Nagai, Norimi Yokozaki

We consider supersymmetric (SUSY) models for the muon anomaly without flavor violating masses at the tree-level. The models can avoid LHC constraints and the vacuum stability…

One-loop running of dimension-six Higgs-neutrino operators and implications of a large neutrino dipole moment

Mikael Chala, Arsenii Titov

We compute the one-loop running of the dimension-six CP-even Higgs operators in the Standard Model effective field theory involving the right-handed component of the would-be Dirac…

CMB modes from photon-photon forward scattering revisited

Ahmad Hoseinpour, Moslem Zarei, Giorgio Orlando +2

Recent literature has shown that photon-photon forward scattering mediated by Euler-Heisenberg interactions may generate some amount of the circular polarization ( modes) in the…

The muon -2 and connection

Alexander Keshavarzi, William J. Marciano, Massimo Passera +1

The discrepancy between the Standard Model theory and experimental measurement of the muon magnetic moment anomaly, , is connected to precision electrowea…

Probing Lepton Flavor Models at Future Neutrino Experiments

Mattias Blennow, Monojit Ghosh, Tommy Ohlsson +1

Non-Abelian discrete symmetries provide an interesting opportunity to address the flavor puzzle in the lepton sector. However, the number of currently viable models based on such s…

Effective field theory for vector-like leptons and its collider signals

Mikael Chala, Paweł Kozów, Maria Ramos +1

We argue that in models with several high scales; e.g. in composite Higgs models or in gauge extensions of the Standard Model (SM), vector-like leptons can be likely produced in a…
