Multiple Gamma Lines from Semi-Annihilation
Francesco D'Eramo, Matthew McCullough, Jesse Thaler
Hints in the Fermi data for a 130 GeV gamma line from the galactic center have ignited interest in potential gamma line signatures of dark matter. Explanations of this line based o…
Power Corrections to Event Shapes with Mass-Dependent Operators
Vicent Mateu, Iain W. Stewart, Jesse Thaler
We introduce an operator depending on the "transverse velocity" r that describes the effect of hadron masses on the leading 1/Q power correction to event-shape observables. Here, Q…
Searching for an invisible A' vector boson with DarkLight
Yonatan Kahn, Jesse Thaler
High-luminosity experiments are able to search for new physics at low energies, which could have evaded detection thus far due to very weak couplings to the Standard Model. The Dar…
Flavor Mediation Delivers Natural SUSY
Nathaniel Craig, Matthew McCullough, Jesse Thaler
If supersymmetry (SUSY) solves the hierarchy problem, then naturalness considerations coupled with recent LHC bounds require non-trivial superpartner flavor structures. Such "Natur…
Precision Jet Substructure from Boosted Event Shapes
Ilya Feige, Matthew D. Schwartz, Iain W. Stewart +1
Jet substructure has emerged as a critical tool for LHC searches, but studies so far have relied heavily on shower Monte Carlo simulations, which formally approximate QCD at leadin…
Locality in Theory Space
Yonatan Kahn, Jesse Thaler
Locality is a guiding principle for constructing realistic quantum field theories. Compactified theories offer an interesting context in which to think about locality, since intera…
The Two Faces of Anomaly Mediation
Francesco D'Eramo, Jesse Thaler, Zoe Thomas
Anomaly mediation is a ubiquitous source of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking which appears in almost every theory of supergravity. In this paper, we show that anomaly mediation really…
The New Flavor of Higgsed Gauge Mediation
Nathaniel Craig, Matthew McCullough, Jesse Thaler
Recent LHC bounds on squark masses combined with naturalness and flavor considerations motivate non-trivial sfermion mass spectra in the supersymmetric Standard Model. These can ar…
