Stochastic Gravitational Waves from Early Structure Formation
Nicolas Fernandez, Joshua W. Foster, Benjamin Lillard +1
Early matter-dominated eras (EMDEs) are a natural feature arising in many models of the early universe and can generate a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) during the…
Extracting Halo Independent Information from Dark Matter Electron Scattering Data
Elias Bernreuther, Patrick J. Fox, Benjamin Lillard +2
Direct detection experiments and the interpretation of their results are sensitive to the velocity structure of the dark matter in our galactic halo. In this work, we extend the fo…
Wavelet-Harmonic Integration Methods
Benjamin Lillard
A new integration method drastically improves the efficiency of the dark matter direct detection calculation. In this work I introduce a complete, orthogonal basis of spherical wav…
Partial Rate Matrix for Dark Matter Scattering
Benjamin Lillard
I present a highly efficient integration method for scattering calculations, and a ``partial rate matrix'' that encodes the scattering rate as a function of the orientation…
Neutralizing Topological Obstructions to Bubbles of Nothing
Patrick Draper, Benjamin Lillard, Carissa Skye
Theories with compact extra dimensions can exhibit a vacuum instability known as a bubble of nothing. These decay modes can be obstructed if the internal manifold is stabilized by…
