Measuring gravitational lensing time delays with quantum information processing
Zhenning Liu, William DeRocco, Shiming Gu +6
The gravitational fields of astrophysical bodies bend the light around them, creating multiple paths along which light from a distant source can arrive at Earth. Measuring the diff…
Improved Dark Photon Sensitivity from the Dark SRF Experiment
Saarik Kalia, Zhen Liu, Bianca Giaccone +15
We report the refined dark-photon exclusion bound from Dark SRF's pathfinder run. Our new result is driven by improved theoretical modeling of frequency instability in high-quality…
Stacking the Deck: Gambling on a Light QCD Axion
Abhishek Banerjee, Manuel A. Buen-Abad, Anson Hook
We consider axions lighter than what their QCD couplings might otherwise suggest. Starting with a -axion, we introduce a small explicit symmetry-breaki…
Warm Inflation with Pseudo-scalar Couplings
Edward Broadberry, Anson Hook, Sagnik Mondal
Inflaton couplings during warm inflation result in the production of a thermal bath. Thermal friction and fluctuations can dominate the standard de Sitter analogues, resulting in a…
United States Muon Collider Community White Paper for the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update
A. Abdelhamid, D. Acosta, P. Affleck +301
This document is being submitted to the 2024-2026 European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU) process on behalf of the US Muon Collider community, with its preparation co…
Predicting the Dark Matter -- Baryon Abundance Ratio
Abhishek Banerjee, Dawid Brzeminski, Anson Hook
We discuss relaxation solutions to the dark matter - baryon coincidence problem in the context of QCD axion dark matter. In relaxation solutions, a moduli dynamically adjusts the m…
Dyonic bound states
Anson Hook, Clayton Ristow
We study (multi) fermion - monopole bound states, many of which are the states that dyons adiabatically transition into as fermions become light. The properties of these bound stat…
Searching for String Bosenovas with Gravitational Wave Detectors
Dawid Brzeminski, Anson Hook, Junwu Huang +1
We study the phenomenology of string bosenova explosions in vector superradiance clouds around spinning black holes, focusing on the observable consequences in gravitational wave d…
Theta Dependence in the Presence of Massless Fermions
Anson Hook, Clayton Ristow
We show that if there are conserved flavor symmetries then some properties of a monopole can depend on even when a fermion is massless. The quantized nature of global symmetrie…
A Closer Look in the Mirror: Reflections on the Matter/Dark Matter Coincidence
Arushi Bodas, Manuel A. Buen-Abad, Anson Hook +1
We argue that the striking similarity between the cosmic abundances of baryons and dark matter, despite their very different astrophysical behavior, strongly motivates the scenario…
A Dynamical Explanation of the Dark Matter-Baryon Coincidence
Dawid Brzeminski, Anson Hook
The near equality of the dark matter and baryon energy densities is a remarkable coincidence, especially when one realizes that the baryon mass is exponentially sensitive to UV par…
Mechanical Quantum Sensing in the Search for Dark Matter
Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David C. Moore +32
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matt…
Long-Lived Particles at the Energy Frontier: The MATHUSLA Physics Case
David Curtin, Marco Drewes, Matthew McCullough +85
We examine the theoretical motivations for long-lived particle (LLP) signals at the LHC in a comprehensive survey of Standard Model (SM) extensions. LLPs are a common prediction of…
