Minimal Proton-Mass Dark Matter
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
We present a minimal dark matter scenario: a single complex scalar carrying baryon and lepton number, with no new exact stabilizing symmetry. Its leading interaction is a dimension…
The Holographic QCD Axion in Five Dimensions
Csaba Csáki, Eric Kuflik, Wei Xue +1
We present a holographic construction of the QCD axion based on a warped 5D model. A key ingredient of our setup is the introduction of a bulk scalar field , which is holograph…
Angle and Axial Anomaly in Holographic QCD
Csaba Csáki, Eric Kuflik, Wei Xue +1
We present a bottom-up holographic description of the QCD -vacuum and the anomaly in five dimensions. The multi-branched -vacuum structure emerges geometrically fr…
Boson Cloud Atlas: Direct mass measurements of superradiance clouds near black holes
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +1
Ultralight scalars emerge naturally in several motivated particle physics scenarios and are viable candidates for dark matter. While laboratory detection of such bosons is challeng…
Constraints on axion-like dark matter from a SERF comagnetometer
Itay M. Bloch, Roy Shaham, Yonit Hochberg +3
Ultralight axion-like particles are well-motivated relics that might compose the cosmological dark matter and source anomalous time-dependent magnetic fields. We report on terrestr…
Inelastically Decoupling Dark Matter
Ronny Frumkin, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik +1
We present a new dark matter candidate, the `inELastically DEcoupling Relic' (iELDER), which is a cold thermal relic whose abundance is determined by the freeze out of its inelasti…
