Proximity induced spin orbit effects in graphene on Au
Alejandro Lopez, Luis Colmenarez, Mayra Peralta +2
We introduce a coupling model Hamiltonian for the -graphene/Au bands that predicts a rather large intrinsic spin-orbit (SO) coupling as are being reported in recent ex…
MSSM A-funnel and the Galactic Center Excess: Prospects for the LHC and Direct Detection Experiments
Katherine Freese, Alejandro Lopez, Nausheen R. Shah +1
The pseudoscalar resonance or "A-funnel" in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model~(MSSM) is a widely studied framework for explaining dark matter that can yield interesting ind…
New Dark Matter Detector using Nanoscale Explosives
Alejandro Lopez, Andrzej Drukier, Katherine Freese +2
We present nanoscale explosives as a novel type of dark matter detector and study the ignition properties. When a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle WIMP from the Galactic Halo el…
New class of biological detectors for WIMPs
Andrzej K. Drukier, Charles Cantor, Mark Chonofsky +7
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) may constitute a large fraction of the matter in the Universe. There are excess events in the data of DAMA/LIBRA, CoGeNT, CRESST-II, an…
First Test of High Frequency Gravity Waves from Inflation using ADVANCED LIGO
Alejandro Lopez, Katherine Freese
Inflation models ending in a first order phase transition produce gravitational waves (GW) via bubble collisions of the true vacuum phase. We demonstrate that these bubble collisio…
