Singlet-doublet dark matter beyond freeze-out

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Aaron Pierce, Alexander Takla

The Singlet-Doublet fermion model of dark matter is an economical weak-scale dark matter model that realizes the dark matter abundance through interactions with the electroweak bos…

Chasing higgsino dark matter at colliders in the neutrino fog era

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Stephen P. Martin, James D. Wells

Higgsinos can be the lightest supersymmetric particles, allowing for either a full or partial dark matter interpretation, with the correct thermal freeze-out abundance obtained for…

Singlet-doublet dark matter revisited

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Evan Petrosky, Aaron Pierce

The singlet-doublet model is an economical model of weakly interacting dark matter. We revisit it in light of improved dark matter direct detection limits. We characterize the now…

Sub-MeV Dark Sink Dark Matter

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Robert McGehee, Evan Petrosky +1

A Dark Sink uses dark-sector interactions to siphon energy from dark matter to lighter dark degrees of freedom, i.e. dark radiation. Here, we extend dark matter models containing a…

A sensitivity target for an impactful Higgs boson self coupling measurement

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, James D. Wells

We argue that a measurement of the Higgs boson self-coupling becomes particularly meaningful in a large and important class of theories when its sensitivity is within 40\% of its S…

A Dark Sink Enhances the Direct Detection of Freeze-in Dark Matter

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Robert McGehee, Aaron Pierce

We describe a simple dark sector structure which, if present, has implications for the direct detection of dark matter (DM): the Dark Sink. A Dark Sink transports energy density fr…

Precision unification and the scale of supersymmetry

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, James D. Wells

In this letter, we study the implications of precise gauge coupling unification on supersymmetric particle masses. We argue that precise unification favors the superpartner masses…

Isosinglet vectorlike leptons at colliders

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Stephen P. Martin, Aaron Pierce

We study weak isosinglet vectorlike leptons that decay through a small mixing with the tau lepton, for which the discovery and exclusion reaches of the Large Hadron Collider and fu…

Report of the Topical Group on Physics Beyond the Standard Model at Energy Frontier for Snowmass 2021

Tulika Bose, Antonio Boveia, Caterina Doglioni +318

This is the Snowmass2021 Energy Frontier (EF) Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) report. It combines the EF topical group reports of EF08 (Model-specific explorations), EF09 (More gen…

Freezing-in hadrophilic dark matter at low reheating temperatures

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Gilly Elor, Robert McGehee +1

If the reheating temperature at the end of inflation is low, of order 10 MeV, then dark matter produced through ultraviolet freeze-in has a large direct detection cross section. We…

Statistical significances and projections for proton decay experiments

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Stephen P. Martin, James D. Wells

We study the statistical significances for exclusion and discovery of proton decay at current and future neutrino detectors. Various counterintuitive flaws associated with frequent…

The depleted Higgs boson: searches for universal coupling suppression, invisible decays, and mixed-in scalars

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, James D. Wells

Two simple ways by which the standard signals of the Standard Model Higgs boson can be depleted are: its couplings to fermions and gauge bosons can be suppressed by a universal fac…

High-quality axions in solutions to the problem

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Stephen P. Martin

Solutions to the problem in supersymmetry based on the Kim-Nilles mechanism naturally feature a Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitsky (DFSZ) axion with decay constant of order the…

Criteria for projected discovery and exclusion sensitivities of counting experiments

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Stephen P. Martin, James D. Wells

The projected discovery and exclusion capabilities of particle physics and astrophysics/cosmology experiments are often quantified using the median expected -value or its corres…

Prospects for vectorlike leptons at future proton-proton colliders

Prudhvi N. Bhattiprolu, Stephen P. Martin

Vectorlike leptons are an intriguing possibility for physics beyond the Standard Model. We study the reach for discovering (at 5 significance) or excluding (at 95 per cent confi…
