Vacuum-Triggered Instability in Paired Superradiance
Zhan Bai, Ningqiang Song, Min Chen +4
Paired superradiance (PSR) is a macro-coherent two-photon process capable of very large gain, making it promising for detecting ultra-weak signals induced by neutrinos or dark matt…
Status of the Trinity PeV Neutrino Observatory
S. Stepanoff, A. N. Otte, M. Bagheri +29
The Trinity Neutrino Observatory aims to detect tau neutrinos in the energy range of 1 PeV to 10 EeV. We are developing the observatory in three stages. The first stage, known as t…
Constraints on Heavy Asymmetric and Symmetric Dark Matter from the Glashow Resonance
Qinrui Liu, Ningqiang Song, Aaron C. Vincent
The decay of asymmetric dark matter (ADM) can lead to distinct neutrino signatures characterized by an asymmetry between neutrinos and antineutrinos. In the high-energy regime, the…
Identifying Energy-Dependent Flavor Transitions in High-Energy Astrophysical Neutrino Measurements
Qinrui Liu, Damiano F. G. Fiorillo, Carlos A. Argüelles +3
The flavor composition of TeV--PeV astrophysical neutrinos, i.e., the proportion of neutrinos of different flavors in their flux, is a versatile probe of high-energy astrophysics a…
Dark Matter from Higher Dimensional Primordial Black Holes
Avi Friedlander, Ningqiang Song, Aaron C. Vincent
The evaporation of primordial black holes provides a promising dark matter production mechanism without relying on any non-gravitational interactions between the dark sector and th…
Feebly Interacting Particles: FIPs 2022 workshop report
C. Antel, M. Battaglieri, J. Beacham +75
Particle physics today faces the challenge of explaining the mystery of dark matter, the origin of matter over anti-matter in the Universe, the origin of the neutrino masses, the a…
Probing neutrino production in high-energy astrophysical neutrino sources with the Glashow Resonance
Qinrui Liu, Ningqiang Song, Aaron C. Vincent
The flavor composition of high-energy neutrinos carries important information about their birth. However, the two most common production scenarios, (hadronuclear) and (ph…
Dark matter from hot big bang black holes
Avi Friedlander, Ningqiang Song, Aaron C. Vincent
If the temperature of the hot thermal plasma in the Early Universe was within a few orders of magnitude of the Planck scale , then the hoop conjecture predicts the form…
Listening for Dark Photon Radio from the Galactic Centre
Edward Hardy, Ningqiang Song
Dark photon dark matter that has a kinetic mixing with the Standard Model photon can resonantly convert in environments where its mass coincides with the plasma frequency.…
Light Dark Matter Accumulating in Planets: Nuclear Scattering
Joseph Bramante, Jason Kumar, Gopolang Mohlabeng +2
We present, for the first time, a complete treatment of strongly-interacting dark matter capture in planets, taking Earth as an example. We focus on light dark matter and the heati…
Updated and novel limits on double beta decay and dark matter-induced processes in platinum
B. Broerman, M. Laubenstein, S. Nagorny +3
A 510 day long-term measurement of a 45.3 g platinum foil acting as the sample and high voltage contact in an ultra-low-background high purity germanium detector was performed at L…
Dark Photon Stars: Formation and Role as Dark Matter Substructure
Marco Gorghetto, Edward Hardy, John March-Russell +2
Any new vector boson with non-zero mass (a `dark photon' or `Proca boson') that is present during inflation is automatically produced at this time from vacuum fluctuations and can…
Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter in the Context of Extra Dimensions
Avi Friedlander, Katherine J. Mack, Sarah Schon +2
Theories of large extra dimensions (LEDs) such as the Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos & Dvali scenario predict a "true" Planck scale near the TeV scale, while the observed $M_{p…
