LeWRON: Agentic Analysis of Electroweak Phase Transitions
Isaac R. Wang
The electroweak phase transition (EWPT) is a central topic in particle physics and cosmology, connecting collider phenomenology, baryogenesis, and gravitational-wave observatories.…
Hiding in the Shadow of the Upsilon: Ditaus from a Light Pseudoscalar
Matthew R Buckley, David Shih, Isaac R Wang
The CMS collaboration has reported a measurement of decays to ditaus using of scouting data. If interpreted as the decay of , the measured d…
A Thermal Relic Encyclopedia: Dark Matter Candidates Coupled to Quarks
Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, Tanner Trickle +1
Thermal freeze-out is a compelling framework for naturally generating the dark matter abundance. We systematically study a broad range of dark matter and mediator particle combinat…
Widen the Resonance at Ultra-High Energies: Novel Probes of Neutrino Self-interactions in the High-Mass Regime
Pedro A. N. Machado, Isaac R. Wang, Xun-Jie Xu +1
Neutrino self-interaction beyond the Standard Model is well motivated by the nonzero masses of neutrinos, which are the only known particles guaranteed to have new physics. Cosmic…
Widen the Resonance: Probing a New Regime of Neutrino Self-Interactions with Astrophysical Neutrinos
Isaac R. Wang, Xun-Jie Xu, Bei Zhou
Neutrino self-interactions beyond the standard model have profound implications in astrophysics and cosmology. In this Letter, we study an uncharted scenario in which one of the th…
