Kaluza--Klein Dark-Photon Mediation of Inelastic Dark Matter at LUX-ZEPLIN
Waqas Ahmed, George K. Leontaris
We study a five-dimensional realization of endothermic dark matter motivated by the recent high-recoil LUX-ZEPLIN event. A pseudo-Dirac Standard-Model singlet fermion is localized…
A Dark-Dimension Origin of Geometric Inelastic Dark Matter: The LUX-ZEPLIN High-Recoil Event and Multi-Target Tests
Waqas Ahmed, George K. Leontaris
The extended nuclear-recoil analysis of LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) has reported one event compatible with a recoil energy near keV, motivating endothermic dark-matter scenarios with sup…
Secondary Gravitational Wave Signatures from 5D Rotating Primordial Black Holes in the Dark Dimension
Waqas Ahmed, George K. Leontaris
We investigate five-dimensional rotating primordial black holes (PBHs) as dark matter candidates within the Dark Dimension (DD) scenario motivated by the Swampland Program. In this…
Micron-sized Extra Dimensions and Primordial Black Holes: Charged, Rotating, and Memory Burdened
George K. Leontaris, George Prampromis
We explore the possibility of explaining dark matter through six-dimensional (6D) primordial black holes (PBHs) in a theory with two extra dimensions. Interestingly, in this scenar…
On the phenomenological implications of a Pati-Salam model spontaneously broken by Higgs fields in fundamental representations
George K. Leontaris, Ruiwen Ouyang, Ye-ling Zhou
We present a supersymmetric Pati-Salam model with small representations as a potential candidate for physics beyond the Standard Model. The model features a Higgs sector with bifun…
Modular Family Symmetry in Fluxed GUTs
Vasileios Basiouris, Miguel Crispim Romão, Stephen F. King +1
We discuss modular family symmetry in effective theories based on generic properties of bottom-up local F-theory inspired GUTs broken by fluxes, which we refer to as Fluxed GUTs. W…
