Modular flavored dark matter
Alexander Baur, Mu-Chun Chen, V. Knapp-Perez +1
Discrete flavor symmetries have been an appealing approach for explaining the observed flavor structure, which is not justified in the Standard Model (SM). Typically, these models…
The eclectic flavor symmetries of orbifolds
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +2
Only four orbifold building blocks are admissible in heterotic string compactifications. We investigate the flavor properties of all of these building b…
Spectral distortions from promising single and multifield inflationary models
Alexander Baur, Marcos A. G. Garcia, Raul Henriquez-Ortiz +2
Forthcoming missions probing the absolute intensity of the CMB are expected to be able to measure spectral distortions, which are deviations from its blackbody distribution. As cos…
The first string-derived eclectic flavor model with realistic phenomenology
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +2
Eclectic flavor groups arising from string compactifications combine the power of modular and traditional flavor symmetries to address the flavor puzzle. This top-down scheme deter…
Top-Down Anatomy of Flavor Symmetry Breakdown
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Saul Ramos-Sanchez +2
A top-down approach to the flavor puzzle leads to eclectic flavor groups which include modular and traditional flavor symmetries. Based on examples of semirealistic T2/Z3 orbifold…
Exclusive Decays with Hadronic Full-event-interpretation Tagging in 62.8 fb of Belle II Data
Belle II Collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi +565
We present a reconstruction in early data of the semileptonic decay , and first results of a reconstruction of the decays and…
Precise measurement of the and lifetimes at Belle II
Belle II collaboration, F. Abudinén, I. Adachi +385
We report a measurement of the and lifetimes using and decays reconstructed in data recorded by the Belle II exp…
Completing the eclectic flavor scheme of the orbifold
Alexander Baur, Moritz Kade, Hans Peter Nilles +2
We present a detailed analysis of the eclectic flavor structure of the two-dimensional orbifold with its two unconstrained moduli and as well as $\mathrm{SL}(…
Siegel modular flavor group and CP from string theory
Alexander Baur, Moritz Kade, Hans Peter Nilles +2
We derive the potential modular symmetries of heterotic string theory. For a toroidal compactification with Wilson line modulus, we obtain the Siegel modular group $\mathrm{Sp}(4,\…
The eclectic flavor symmetry of the orbifold
Alexander Baur, Moritz Kade, Hans Peter Nilles +2
Modular symmetries naturally combine with traditional flavor symmetries and , giving rise to the so-called eclectic flavor symmetry. We apply this scheme to the two-d…
A String Theory of Flavor and CP
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Andreas Trautner +1
Modular transformations of string theory (including the well-known stringy dualities) play a crucial role in the discussion of discrete flavor symmetries in the Standard Model. The…
Unification of Flavor, CP, and Modular Symmetries
Alexander Baur, Hans Peter Nilles, Andreas Trautner +1
Flavor symmetry plays a crucial role in the standard model of particle physics but its origin is still unknown. We develop a new method (based on outer automorphisms of the Narain…
