Perturbations in pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Higgs Inflation
Stephon Alexander, Humberto Gilmer, Cooper Niu
Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) Higgs Inflation is a novel approach to relate the Higgs boson and its interaction with Electroweak gauge bosons with cosmic inflation, with the potenti…
A Dark Matter Fermionic Quantum Fluid from Standard Model Dynamics
Stephon Alexander, Heliudson Bernardo, Humberto Gilmer
We present a model of dark matter as a superconducting fluid of Cooper pairs of right handed neutrinos or of vector-like quarks. The superconducting dark matter is induced by attra…
Taking aim at the wino-higgsino plane with the LHC
Linda M. Carpenter, Humberto Gilmer, Junichiro Kawamura +1
In this work we explore multiple search strategies for higgsinos and mixed higgsino-wino states in the MSSM and project the results onto the plane. Assuming associated pr…
Higgs Inflation and the Electroweak Gauge Sector
Stephon Alexander, Cyril Creque-Sarbinowski, Humberto Gilmer +1
We introduce a new method that allows for the Higgs to be the inflaton. That is, we let the Higgs be a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) boson of a global coset symmetry that spon…
The -axion and -axiverse of dark QCD
Stephon Alexander, Humberto Gilmer, Tucker Manton +1
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are a prominent dark matter candidate, drawing motivation in part from the axiverse of string theory. Axion-like particles can also arise as…
Exploring nearly degenerate higgsinos using mono- signal
Linda M. Carpenter, Humberto Gilmer, Junichiro Kawamura
We propose a new search strategy for higgsinos. Assuming associated production of higgsino-like pairs with a or boson, we search in the missing energy plus hadronically-tag…
New Bounds on Light Sneutrino Masses: Rare SUSY Signals
Linda M. Carpenter, Humberto B. Gilmer, Junichiro Kawamura
We study bounds on a neutral component of weak doublet scalar lepton. A typical example of such particle is sneutrinos in supersymmetric models. Using constraints from invisible Hi…
