Electroweak mass difference of mesons
Antonio Pich, Arthur Platschorre, Mario Reig
We consider electroweak (EW) gauge boson corrections to the masses of pseudoscalar mesons to next to leading order (NLO) in and . The pion mass shift induced by the $Z…
Searching for axion forces with precision precession in storage rings
Prateek Agrawal, David E. Kaplan, On Kim +2
We consider different types of storage rings as precision probes of axion-mediated monopole-dipole forces. We show that current and planned experiments aiming to measure magnetic a…
Axion Couplings in Grand Unified Theories
Prateek Agrawal, Michael Nee, Mario Reig
We show that the couplings of axions to gauge bosons are highly restricted in Grand Unified Theories where the standard model is embedded in a simple 4D gauge group. The topologica…
The Stochastic Axiverse
Mario Reig
In addition to spectacular signatures such as black hole superradiance and the rotation of CMB polarization, the plenitude of axions appearing in the string axiverse may have poten…
Maximal axion misalignment from a minimal model
Junwu Huang, Amalia Madden, Davide Racco +1
The QCD axion is one of the best motivated dark matter candidates. The misalignment mechanism is well known to produce an abundance of the QCD axion consistent with dark matter for…
Generalizing the Scotogenic model
Pablo Escribano, Mario Reig, Avelino Vicente
The Scotogenic model is an economical setup that induces Majorana neutrino masses at the 1-loop level and includes a dark matter candidate. We discuss a generalization of the origi…
Dirac neutrinos from Peccei-Quinn symmetry: a fresh look at the axion
Eduardo Peinado, Mario Reig, Rahul Srivastava +1
We show that a very simple solution to the strong CP problem naturally leads to Dirac neutrinos. Small effective neutrino masses emerge from a type I Dirac seesaw mechanism. Neutri…
Strong CP problem with low-energy emergent QCD: The 4321 case
Javier Fuentes-Martin, Mario Reig, Avelino Vicente
We analyze the strong CP problem and the implications for axion physics in the context of vector leptoquark models, recently put forward as an elegant solution to the hints o…
SO(3) family symmetry and axions
Mario Reig
Motivated by the idea of Comprehensive Unification, we consider a gauged flavor extension of the Standard Model, including right-handed neutrinos and a Peccei-Quinn symmetr…
Cosmic implications of a low-scale solution to the axion domain wall problem
Andrea Caputo, Mario Reig
The post-inflationary breaking of Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry can lead to the cosmic domain wall catastrophe. In this Letter we show how to avoid domain walls implementing the Insta…
Light majoron cold dark matter from topological defects and the formation of boson stars
Mario Reig, José W. F. Valle, Masaki Yamada
We show that for a relatively light majoron ( eV) non-thermal production from topological defects is an efficient production mechanism. Taking the type I seesaw as benchm…
On the high-scale instanton interference effect: axion models without domain wall problem
Mario Reig
We show that a new chiral, confining interaction can be used to break Peccei-Quinn symmetry dynamically and solve the domain wall problem, simultaneously. The resulting theory is a…
Spontaneous proton decay and the origin of Peccei-Quinn symmetry
Mario Reig, Rahul Srivastava
We propose a new interpretation of Peccei-Quinn symmetry within the Standard Model, identifying it with the axial symmetry i.e. . This new…
Bound-state dark matter with Majorana neutrinos
M. Reig, D. Restrepo, J. W. F. Valle +1
We propose a simple scenario in which dark matter (DM) emerges as a stable neutral hadronic thermal relics, its stability following from an exact symmetry.…
Spontaneous Breaking of Lepton Number and Cosmological Domain Wall Problem
George Lazarides, Mario Reig, Qaisar Shafi +2
We show that if global lepton number symmetry is spontaneously broken in a post inflation epoch, then it can lead to the formation of cosmological domain walls. This happens in the…
SO(3) family symmetry and axions
Mario Reig, José W. F. Valle, Frank Wilczek
Motivated by the idea of comprehensive unification, we study a gauged SO(3) flavor extension of the extended Standard Model, including right-handed neutrinos and a Peccei-Quinn sym…
Bound-state dark matter and Dirac neutrino mass
M. Reig, D. Restrepo, J. W. F. Valle +1
We propose a simple theory for the idea that cosmological dark matter (DM) may be present today mainly in the form of stable neutral hadronic thermal relics. In our model neutrino…
A Model of Comprehensive Unification
Mario Reig, José W. F. Valle, C. A. Vaquera-Araujo +1
Comprehensive - that is, gauge and family - unification using spinors has many attractive features, but it has been challenged to explain chirality. Here, by combining an orbifold…
Towards gauge coupling unification in left-right symmetric theories
Chandan Hati, Sudhanwa Patra, Mario Reig +2
We consider the possibility of gauge coupling unification within the simplest realizations of the gauge theory. We…
Three-family left-right symmetry with low-scale seesaw mechanism
Mario Reig, José W. F. Valle, C. A. Vaquera-Araujo
We suggest a new left-right symmetric model implementing a low-scale seesaw mechanism in which quantum consistency requires three families of fermions. The symmetry breaking route…
Unifying left-right symmetry and 331 electroweak theories
Mario Reig, José W. F. Valle, C. A. Vaquera-Araujo
We propose a realistic theory based on the gauge group which requires the number of families to match the number…
Realistic model with a type II Dirac neutrino seesaw mechanism
Mario Reig, Jose W. F. Valle, C. A. Vaquera-Araujo
Here we propose a realistic electroweak gauge model with enlarged Higgs sector. The scheme allows for the natural implementation o…
