Rich Phenomenology from Simple Ingredients: A Review of Confining Dark Sectors
Pouya Asadi, Austin Batz, Graham D. Kribs
We review theories with confining dark sectors and their implications for dark matter, cosmology, phenomenology, and unsolved Standard Model puzzles. Models with new strongly-coupl…
Stopping Dark Mesons in Their Tracks with Long-Lived Particle and Resonant Signatures
Pouya Asadi, Austin Batz, Elias Bernreuther +3
Dark sectors with confining gauge interactions can provide both simple dark matter candidates and striking signals at colliders. We recast Large Hadron Collider searches for two di…
Genesis of baryon and dark matter asymmetries through ultraviolet scattering freeze-in
Pouya Asadi, Marianne Moore, David E. Morrissey +1
We introduce a new mechanism for the simultaneous generation of baryon and dark matter asymmetries through ultraviolet-dominated freeze-in scatterings. The mechanism relies on heav…
On the Run from the Dark Side of the Muon
Pouya Asadi, Austin Batz, Samuel Homiller +1
We present an analysis strategy for probing physics beyond the Standard Model via modifications to the parton distribution functions (PDFs) in a muon beam, which measurably alter t…
Lepton Flavor Violation: From Muon Decays to Muon Colliders
Pouya Asadi, Hengameh Bagherian, Katherine Fraser +2
We investigate the unique potential of a high-energy muon collider to probe lepton-flavor-violating signals arising from physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Low-energy, precisi…
Quirks Live in Cool Universes
Pouya Asadi, Graham D. Kribs, Markus A. Luty
We demonstrate that cosmological observations place strong bounds on the reheat temperature of the Standard Model (SM) in minimal models of `quirks' -- heavy fermions…
