High Precision Fundamental Physics Experiments at JLab with Spin-transparent Storage Rings of Low-energy Polarized Electron Beams

Vladimir Khachatryan, Riad Suleiman, Alberto Accardi +27

A breakthrough in fundamental physics experiments measuring particle spin precession may happen if spin-transparent storage rings become adopted tools for such experiments. We pres…

The Dark Dimension meets the Axiverse

Kevin Langhoff, Maria Ramos, Mario Reig

We explore the cosmological implications of combining dark dimension scenarios with an axiverse. If gauge sectors are realized on branes, towers of Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of…

Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse

Michael Nee, Mario Reig, Timo Weigand

We show that axions coupled to photons in F-theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) satisfy the coupling-to-mass relation ,…

Heterotic String Theory Suggests a QCD Axion Near 0.5 neV

Joshua N. Benabou, Giulio Alvise Dainelli, Mario Reig +1

We show that in heterotic string theory -- and dual corners of the landscape including Type I string theory -- the QCD axion mass is bounded from below by neV, a…

Axion couplings in Orbifold GUTs

Prateek Agrawal, Michael Nee, Mario Reig

We consider the coupling of axions to gauge bosons in higher-dimensional Grand Unified Theories (GUT) inspired by string theory constructions with D-branes on orbifold singularitie…

Axion Quality Problem: Keep Calm and Baryon

Prateek Agrawal, Anson Hook, Vazha Loladze +1

Axion models generically suffer from a severe quality problem when coupled to gravity. In this article we provide a very simple model with a high quality axion. The axion is a pseu…

Supercooled Confinement

Prateek Agrawal, Gaurang Ramakant Kane, Vazha Loladze +1

We study general properties of confinement phase transitions in the early universe. An observable gravitational wave signal from such transitions requires significant supercooling.…

Higher Axion Strings

Vazha Loladze, Arthur Platschorre, Mario Reig

We study the minimal requirements to obtain axion strings for axions with exponentially good quality. These ingredients appear in theories where an axion coming from a higher-form…

Axion Couplings in Heterotic String Theory

Prateek Agrawal, Michael Nee, Mario Reig

We study the coupling of axions to gauge bosons in heterotic string theory. The axion-gauge boson couplings in the low energy 4d theory are derived by matching mixed anomalies betw…

Searching for axion forces with spin precession in atoms and molecules

Prateek Agrawal, Nicholas R. Hutzler, David E. Kaplan +2

We propose to use atoms and molecules as quantum sensors of axion-mediated monopole-dipole forces. We show that electron spin precession experiments using atomic and molecular beam…
