Muon-induced di-tau production as a probe of new physics
Sudipta Das, Luke Kupari, Mary Hall Reno +1
The muon trident process, which involves coherent scattering to produce tau pairs, is a powerful tool for constraining dark sectors. We propose to explore this channel using future…
A New Source of Millicharged Particles: Secondary Showers in the LHC Forward Absorber
Jyotismita Adhikary, Peiran Li, Zhen Liu +2
Millicharged particles (mCPs) are a well-motivated target for far-forward searches at the Large Hadron Collider. We identify and quantify a significant new source of these particle…
A solution to the S8 tension through neutrino-dark matter interactions
Lei Zu, William Giarè, Chi Zhang +3
Neutrinos and dark matter (DM) are two of the least understood components of the Universe, yet both play crucial roles in cosmic evolution. Clues about their fundamental properties…
Neutron stars can shine a light on elusive lepton-flavor-violating dark matter
Hooman Davoudiasl, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Sebastian Trojanowski
We investigate a scenario in which dark matter (DM) poses a challenge to conventional direct and indirect detection, making it much more elusive than typical candidates. We focus o…
Letter of Intent: The Forward Physics Facility
Luis A. Anchordoqui, John K. Anders, Akitaka Ariga +111
The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposed extension of the HL-LHC program designed to exploit the unique scientific opportunities offered by the intense flux of high energy…
The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics
Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533
The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…
