Magnetic Mixing -- Electric Minicharges from Magnetic Monopoles
Felix Bruemmer, Joerg Jaeckel, Valentin V. Khoze
Many extensions of the Standard Model require the existence of a "hidden" sector. We consider settings where the hidden sector in the infrared contains a U(1) gauge factor with mag…
Direct Mediation, Duality and Unification
Steven Abel, Valentin V. Khoze
It is well-known that in scenarios with direct gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking the messenger fields significantly affect the running of Standard Model couplings and intro…
Illuminating the Hidden Sector of String Theory by Shining Light through a Magnetic Field
Steven A. Abel, Joerg Jaeckel, Valentin V. Khoze +1
Many models of physics beyond the Standard Model predict minicharged particles to which current and near future low-energy experiments are highly sensitive. Such minicharges arise…
Vacuum Birefringence as a Probe of Planck Scale Noncommutativity
Steven A. Abel, Joerg Jaeckel, Valentin V. Khoze +1
Because of ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) mixing, the low energy physics of noncommutative gauge theories in the Moyal-Weyl approach seems to depend crucially on the details of the u…
