Robust bounds on MACHOs from the faintest galaxies

Peter W. Graham, Harikrishnan Ramani, Maximilian Ruhdorfer

We use the dynamical heating of stars in ultrafaint dwarf (UFD) galaxies to set limits on Massive Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs). In our analysis we study the robustness of the boun…

The Muon Collider

Carlotta Accettura, Simon Adrian, Rohit Agarwal +450

Muons offer a unique opportunity to build a compact high-energy electroweak collider at the 10 TeV scale. A Muon Collider enables direct access to the underlying simplicity of the…

The Seiberg-Witten Axion

Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Maximilian Ruhdorfer +2

We present a fully calculable UV complete toy model of a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axion coupled to magnetic monopoles as well as electric charges. The theory has manifest electric-magneti…

Why detect forward muons at a muon collider

Maximilian Ruhdorfer, Ennio Salvioni, Andrea Wulzer

We survey the opportunities offered by the detection of the forward muons that accompany the creation of neutral effective vector bosons at a muon collider, in different kinematic…

How common are grand unified theories?

Johannes Herms, Maximilian Ruhdorfer

The individual fermion generations of the Standard Model fit neatly into a representation of a simple Grand Unified Theory gauge algebra. If Grand Unification is not realized in na…

Instanton NDA and Applications to Axion Models

Csaba Csáki, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Eric Kuflik +1

We present a simple set of power counting rules which allows us to easily estimate calculable instanton effects up to factors. We apply the resulting Instanton NDA to examin…

Quantum collider probes of the fermionic Higgs portal

U. Haisch, M. Ruhdorfer, K. Schmid +1

We explore the sensitivity of future hadron colliders to constrain the fermionic Higgs portal, with a focus on scenarios where the new fermions cannot be directly observed in exoti…

Invisible Higgs from forward muons at a muon collider

Maximilian Ruhdorfer, Ennio Salvioni, Andrea Wulzer

We propose to probe the Higgs boson decay to invisible particles at a muon collider by observing the forward muons that are produced in association with the Higgs in the Z-boson fu…
