Enhancing Constraints on Ultralight Axion Dark Matter from Gravitational Capture

Pierce Giffin, Pankaj Munbodh, Elisa G. M. Ferreira

Ultralight axions can be gravitationally captured by massive bodies such as the Sun, producing solar-bound gravitational atom states that amplify the local dark matter density thro…

Probing Lepton Flavor Violation at the ILC and CLIC

Pankaj Munbodh

Lepton flavor violation in the sector would be a clear sign of Beyond Standard Model physics. We employ the SMEFT framework to study the process at the ILC and C…

Simplified Spin Dependence in Dark Matter Direct Detection

Pierce Giffin, Benjamin Lillard, Pankaj Munbodh +1

The interactions of dark matter with Standard Model particles can be systematically studied in the language of effective field theories. We investigate dark matter interactions wit…

Spin-Dependent Scattering of Sub-GeV Dark Matter: Models and Constraints

Stefania Gori, Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin +2

We calculate the scattering rate of sub-GeV dark matter in solid-state targets for spin-dependent dark matter -- nucleon interactions. For dark matter particles with mass below 100…

Probing Lepton Flavor Violation at Linear Electron-Positron Colliders

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Pankaj Munbodh

The production of pairs in electron-positron collisions offers a powerful probe of lepton flavor violation. In this work, we calculate the cross section withi…

Lepton Flavor Violation at FCC-ee and CEPC

Pankaj Munbodh

Lepton flavor violating processes are highly suppressed in the Standard Model. Therefore, if observed, lepton flavor violation would be a clear indication of new physics beyond the…

Astrophysical constraints from synchrotron emission on very massive decaying dark matter

Pankaj Munbodh, Stefano Profumo

If the cosmological dark matter (DM) couples to Standard Model (SM) fields, it can decay promptly to SM states in a highly energetic hard process, which subsequently showers and ha…

QCD Axion-Mediated Dark Matter

Jeff Dror, Stefania Gori, Pankaj Munbodh

A QCD axion with a decay constant below is a strongly-motivated extension to the Standard Model, though its relic abundance from the misalignment mechanism…

Probing Lepton Flavor Violation at Circular Electron-Positron Colliders

Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Pankaj Munbodh, Talise Oh

Lepton flavor violation is one of the cleanest probes of physics beyond the standard model. In this work, we explore the sensitivity of the process to new physics…
