Higgs pair production in gluon fusion to higher orders in Higgs Effective Field Theory

Ilaria Brivio, Ramona Gröber, Konstantin Schmid

Higgs pair production offers the opportunity to probe correlations among the couplings of one or two Higgs bosons to fermions and gauge bosons. In this context, it serves as a powe…

The Art of Counting: a reappraisal of the HEFT expansion

Ilaria Brivio, Ramona Gröber, Konstantin Schmid

We revisit the power counting of the Higgs Effective Field Theory (HEFT) from first principles, by requiring that predictions for physical observables follow a series expansion in…

Stripped-Envelope Supernovae for QCD Axion Detection

Francisco R. Candón, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Ángel Gil Muyor +3

QCD axions would be copiously produced in the proto-neutron star formed in a core-collapse supernova (SN). After escaping, they would convert into gamma rays in the Galactic magnet…

Ultralight Dark Matter from the Edge of Field Space

Mathias Becker, Francesco D'Eramo, Ville Vaskonen

We introduce a novel class of bosonic dark matter candidates that we dub wallions, featuring boundaries in field space. The wallion mass is exponentially suppressed when the separa…

Seasons of Dark Matter Freeze-In Shaped by the Weather of the Early Universe

Francesco D'Eramo, Alessandro Lenoci, Tommaso Sassi

Quantifying the imprints of freeze-in dark matter (DM) on cosmological structures requires knowledge of its phase-space distribution. We investigate how variations in the cosmologi…

Small Progenitors, Large Couplings: Type Ic Supernova Constraints on Radiatively Decaying Particles

Francisco R. Candón, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Hans-Thomas Janka +2

Supernova (SN) 1987A provides classic bounds on gamma-ray flashes from the radiative decay of sub-GeV particles, but the latter may decay so rapidly as to be shielded by the stella…

Axion-photon conversion in transient compact stars: Systematics, constraints, and opportunities

Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Ángel Gil Muyor, Hans-Thomas Janka +2

We study magnetic conversion of ultra-relativistic axion-like particles (ALPs) into photons in compact-star environments, focusing on the hot, transient conditions of core-collapse…
