Muon-electron scattering at NNLO

A. Broggio, T. Engel, A. Ferroglia +8

We present the first calculation of the complete set of NNLO QED corrections for muon-electron scattering. This includes leptonic, non-perturbative hadronic, and photonic contribut…

Branching Fractions of Meson Decays in Mesogenesis

Gilly Elor, Alfredo Walter Mario Guerrera

Production of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the -Mesogenesis mechanism is directly related to the branching fraction of seemingly baryon number violating decays of meso…

ALP production in weak mesonic decays

Alfredo Walter Mario Guerrera, Stefano Rigolin

Axion-Like-Particles are among the most economical and well motivated extensions of the Standard Model. In this work ALP production from hadronic and leptonic meson decays are stud…

Axion Free-kick Misalignment Mechanism

Ling-Xiao Xu, Seokhoon Yun

We propose an alternative scenario for the axion misalignment mechanism based on the nontrivial interplay between the axion and a light dilaton in the early universe. Dark matter a…

Constraints on Ultralight Scalar Dark Matter with Quadratic Couplings

Thomas Bouley, Philip Sørensen, Tien-Tien Yu

Ultralight dark matter is a compelling dark matter candidate. In this work, we examine the impact of quadratically-coupled ultralight dark matter on the predictions of Big Bang Nuc…

Axion-pion thermalization rate in unitarized NLO chiral perturbation theory

Luca Di Luzio, Jorge Martin Camalich, Guido Martinelli +2

We compute the axion-pion scattering , relevant for the axion thermalization rate in the early universe, within unitarized NLO chiral perturbation theory. The latter ext…

Perturbative running of the topological angles

Alessandro Valenti, Luca Vecchi

We argue that in general renormalizable field theories the topological angles may develop an additive beta function starting no earlier than 2-loop order. The leading expression is…

: a library to perform Renormalization Group evolution in the Standard Model Effective Theory

Stefano Di Noi, Luca Silvestrini

Renormalization group evolution above the electroweak scale is a crucial ingredient in the phenomenology of the Standard Model Effective Theory. The RGESolver open-source C++ libra…

Probing Axions via Light Circular Polarization and Event Horizon Telescope

Soroush Shakeri, Fazlollah Hajkarim

The impact of axion-like particles on the light polarization around the horizon of suppermassive black hole (SMBH) is discussed in the light of the latest polarization measurement…

Charting the Higgs self-coupling boundaries

Gauthier Durieux, Matthew McCullough, Ennio Salvioni

Could new physics first manifest itself in Higgs self-coupling measurements? In other words, how large could deviations in the Higgs self-coupling be, if other Higgs and electrowea…

Bouncing Dark Matter

Lucas Puetter, Joshua T. Ruderman, Ennio Salvioni +1

We present a novel mechanism for thermal dark matter production, characterized by a "bounce": the dark matter equilibrium distribution transitions from the canonical exponentially…

Flavour anomalies meet flavour symmetry

Innes Bigaran, Tobias Felkl, Claudia Hagedorn +1

We construct an extension of the Standard Model with a scalar leptoquark and the discrete flavour symmetry to explain anomalies ob…

Machine learning the trilinear and light-quark Yukawa couplings from Higgs pair kinematic shapes

Lina Alasfar, Ramona Gröber, Christophe Grojean +2

Revealing the Higgs pair production process is the next big challenge in high energy physics. In this work, we explore the use of interpretable machine learning and cooperative gam…

Grand Color Axion

Alessandro Valenti, Luca Vecchi, Ling-Xiao Xu

We present a model that solves the strong CP problem via an axion parametrically heavier than the standard one. Within this picture the Standard Model quarks are embedded into a la…

Gauge Invariance and Finite Counterterms in Chiral Gauge Theories

Claudia Cornella, Ferruccio Feruglio, Luca Vecchi

We derive the finite one-loop counterterm required to restore the Ward Identities broken by the regularization scheme in chiral gauge theories. Our result is an analytic expression…

On the NLO QCD Corrections to Gluon-Initiated ZH Production

Giuseppe Degrassi, Ramona Gröber, Marco Vitti +1

We compute the QCD corrections at next-to-leading order for the process , including both the virtual two-loop terms and real-emission contributions. The two-loop…

Renormalization group effects in astrophobic axion models

Luca Di Luzio, Federico Mescia, Enrico Nardi +1

It has been recently pointed out that in certain axion models it is possible to suppress simultaneously both the axion couplings to nucleons and electrons, realising the so-called…

Particle dispersion in the classical vector dark matter background

Eung Jin Chun, Seokhoon Yun

Interactions with a background medium modify in general the dispersion relation and canonical normalization of propagating particles. This can have an important phenomenological co…

False vacuum decay: an introductory review

Federica Devoto, Simone Devoto, Luca Di Luzio +1

We review the description of tunnelling phenomena in the semi-classical approximation in ordinary quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory. In particular, we describe in detai…

The Present and Future Status of Heavy Neutral Leptons

Asli M. Abdullahi, Pablo Barham Alzas, Brian Batell +42

The existence of non-zero neutrino masses points to the likely existence of multiple SM neutral fermions. When such states are heavy enough that they cannot be produced in oscillat…

Axion signatures from supernova explosions through the nucleon electric-dipole portal

Giuseppe Lucente, Leonardo Mastrototaro, Pierluca Carenza +3

We consider axions coupled to nucleons and photons only through the nucleon electric-dipole moment (EDM) portal. This coupling is a model-independent feature of QCD axions, which s…

Low-scale leptogenesis with flavour and CP symmetries
