Time-domain properties of electromagnetic signals in a dynamical axion background
Peter Adshead, Patrick Draper, Benjamin Lillard
Electromagnetic waves in a dynamical axion background exhibit superluminal group velocities at high frequencies and instabilities at low frequencies, altering how photons propagate…
Dark Matter-Electron Scattering from Aromatic Organic Targets
Carlos Blanco, J. I. Collar, Yonatan Kahn +1
Sub-GeV dark matter (DM) which interacts with electrons can excite electrons occupying molecular orbitals in a scattering event. In particular, aromatic compounds such as benzene o…
Multi-scale Mining of Kinematic Distributions with Wavelets
Ben G. Lillard, Tilman Plehn, Alexis Romero +1
Typical LHC analyses search for local features in kinematic distributions. Assumptions about anomalous patterns limit them to a relatively narrow subset of possible signals. Wavele…
A High Quality Composite Axion
Benjamin Lillard, Tim M. P. Tait
The strong CP problem is a compelling motivation for physics beyond the Standard Model. The most popular solutions invoke a global Peccei-Quinn symmetry, but are challenged by quan…
The Flavor of Cosmology
Benjamin Lillard, Michael Ratz, Tim M. P. Tait +1
We discuss the cosmology of models in which the standard model Yukawa couplings depend on scalar field(s), often referred to as flavons. We find that thermal corrections of the fla…
A Composite Axion from a Supersymmetric Product Group
Benjamin Lillard, Tim M. P. Tait
A global symmetry is protected from gravitational effects in the s-confining product group theory with matter. If the famil…
