Hyper Stealth Dark Matter and Long-Lived Particles
George T. Fleming, Graham D. Kribs, Ethan T. Neil +2
A new dark matter candidate is proposed that arises as the lightest baryon from a confining gauge theory which equilibrates with the Standard Model only through electroweak…
Goldstone Boson Scattering with a Light Composite Scalar
T. Appelquist, R. C. Brower, K. K. Cushman +14
The appearance of a light composite scalar resonance in nearly conformal gauge-fermion theories motivates further study of the low energy structure of these theories. To this…
Near-conformal dynamics in a chirally broken system
Thomas Appelquist, Richard C. Brower, Kimmy K. Cushman +11
Composite Higgs models must exhibit very different dynamics from quantum chromodynamics (QCD) regardless whether they describe the Higgs boson as a dilatonlike state or a pseudo-Na…
Linear Sigma EFT for Nearly Conformal Gauge Theories
T. Appelquist, R. C. Brower, G. T. Fleming +11
We construct a generalized linear sigma model as an effective field theory (EFT) to describe nearly conformal gauge theories at low energies. The work is motivated by recent lattic…
Direct Detection of Stealth Dark Matter through Electromagnetic Polarizability
Thomas Appelquist, Evan Berkowitz, Richard C. Brower +15
We calculate the spin-independent scattering cross section for direct detection that results from the electromagnetic polarizability of a composite scalar baryon dark matter candid…
Stealth Dark Matter: Dark scalar baryons through the Higgs portal
Thomas Appelquist, Richard C. Brower, Michael I. Buchoff +14
We present a new model of "Stealth Dark Matter": a composite baryonic scalar of an strongly-coupled theory with even . All mass scales are technically natural…
