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…
Hiding a Light Vector Boson from Terrestrial Experiments: A Chargephobic Dark Photon
Haidar Esseili, Graham D. Kribs
We calculate the terrestrial, astrophysical and cosmological constraints on a light vector boson that couples to an arbitrary combination of the electromagnetic and currents…
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…
Effective Field Theory of Stückelberg Vector Bosons
Graham D. Kribs, Gabriel Lee, Adam Martin
We explore the effective field theory of a vector field that has a Stückelberg mass. The absence of a gauge symmetry for implies Lorentz-invariant operators are cons…
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…
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…
