Quality control for axions and ALPs
Andrew Cheek, Andrew Fowlie, Gonzalo Herrera
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are protected by Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetries that quantum gravity is expected to break. Modeling quantum gravity by Planck-suppressed PQ-bre…
Neutrino NSI in archaeological Pb
D. Alloni, G. Benato, P. Carniti +47
Dark matter direct detection experiments can observe solar neutrinos via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering, making it possible to test new physics in the neutrino sector…
Sub-GeV Dark Matter Under Pressure from Direct Detection
Andrew Cheek, Pablo Figueroa, Gonzalo Herrera +1
The DAMIC-M collaboration recently reported impressive bounds on sub-GeV dark matter, robustly testing both thermal and non-thermal models for the very first time. In this work we…
Dark photon dark matter from flattened axion potentials
Hong-Yi Zhang, Paola Arias, Andrew Cheek +3
Dark photons can be resonantly produced in the early universe via their coupling to an oscillating axion field. However, this mechanism typically requires large axion--dark photon…
Testing the dark origin of neutrino masses with oscillation experiments
Andrew Cheek, Luca Visinelli, Hong-Yi Zhang
The origin of neutrino masses remains unknown to date. One popular idea involves interactions between neutrinos and ultralight dark matter, described as fields or particles with ma…
Primordial Black Holes Are True Vacuum Nurseries
Louis Hamaide, Lucien Heurtier, Shi-Qian Hu +1
The Hawking evaporation of primordial black holes (PBH) reheats the Universe locally, forming hot spots that survive throughout their lifetime. We propose to use the temperature pr…
