Scalar baryons in neutron stars

Julian Heeck, Yu Zhi

Neutron stars have baryon chemical potentials that can exceed the neutron mass, providing favorable conditions to convert neutrons to new particles carrying baryon number, even if…

Q-balls across dimensions

Dusty Aiello, Julian Heeck

Scalars carrying a conserved global charge can form stable localized field configurations composed of a large number of particles. These non-topological solitons are sphericall…

Gauged Q-balls in flat potentials

Julian Heeck, Yu Zhi

Q-balls are large bound-state systems of scalar particles, described classically through localized solutions of the equations of motion. Promoting the required stabilizing U(1) sym…

Opening up baryon-number-violating operators

Julian Heeck, Diana Sokhashvili, Anil Thapa

Baryon number violation is our most sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. Its realization through heavy new particles can be conveniently encoded in higher-dimensio…

New avenues for tau flavor violation

Julian Heeck

I present a concise overview of tau flavor violation and the broad opportunities it offers, with a focus on non-standard decay channels and their underlying theoretical motivations…

Lepton flavor violation by three units

Julian Heeck, Mikheil Sokhashvili, Anil Thapa

The conservation of lepton flavor is a prediction of the Standard Model and is still an excellent approximate symmetry despite our observation of neutrino oscillations. Lepton flav…
