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…
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…
Enhanced Cosmic-Ray Antinuclei Fluxes with Dark Matter Annihilation into SUEPs
Mattia Di Mauro, Caleb Gemmell, Austin Batz +4
Standard-Model (SM) hadronic parton showers initiated by secondary cosmic-ray production or dark matter (DM) annihilations robustly predict very low antinuclei yields and a strong…
MATHUSLA: An External Long-Lived Particle Detector to Maximize the Discovery Potential of the HL-LHC
Branden Aitken, Cristiano Alpigiani, Juan Carlos Arteaga-Velázquez +70
We present the current status of the MATHUSLA (MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles) long-lived particle (LLP) detector at the HL-LHC, covering the design, f…
Conceptual Design Report for the MATHUSLA Long-Lived Particle Detector near CMS
Branden Aitken, Cristiano Alpigiani, Juan Carlos Arteaga-Velázquez +70
We present the Conceptual Design Report (CDR) for the MATHUSLA (MAssive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra-Stable neutraL pArticles) long-lived particle detector at the HL-LHC, covering th…
