QCD Baryogenesis
Djuna Croon, Jessica N. Howard, Seyda Ipek +1
We explore a simple model which naturally explains the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this model the strong coupling is promoted to a dynamical quantity, which evolv…
Solitosynthesis and Gravitational Waves
Djuna Croon, Alexander Kusenko, Anupam Mazumdar +1
We study the gravitational wave phenomenology in models of solitosynthesis. In such models, a first order phase transition is precipitated by a period in which non-topological soli…
Gravitational wave probes of dark matter: challenges and opportunities
Gianfranco Bertone, Djuna Croon, Mustafa A. Amin +9
In this white paper, we discuss the prospects for characterizing and identifying dark matter using gravitational waves, covering a wide range of dark matter candidate types and sig…
Dynamical Axions and Gravitational Waves
Djuna Croon, Rachel Houtz, Veronica Sanz
In this paper we explore the possibility of observable gravitational waves as a manifestation of the QCD axion dynamics. In particular, we focus on dynamical axion models which sol…
Stability, reheating and leptogenesis
Djuna Croon, Nicolas Fernandez, David McKeen +1
In a minimal model of leptogenesis, the observed baryon asymmetry is realized after high-scale reheating into the lightest sterile neutrino. We consider constraints on this scenari…
GUT Physics in the era of the LHC
Djuna Croon, Tomás E. Gonzalo, Lukas Graf +2
Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) are one of the most interesting high-energy completions of the Standard Model, because they provide a rich, powerful and elegant group-theoretical fra…
