Constraining Ultralight Scalars with Black Hole Binary Mergers in Galactic Nuclei
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
Ultralight scalars can form long-lived, macroscopic bound states around spinning black holes, known as superradiance clouds. These clouds provide an additional channel for energy d…
Minimal Proton-Mass Dark Matter
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
We present a minimal dark matter scenario: a single complex scalar carrying baryon and lepton number, with no new exact stabilizing symmetry. Its leading interaction is a dimension…
The Holographic QCD Axion in Five Dimensions
Csaba Csáki, Eric Kuflik, Wei Xue +1
We present a holographic construction of the QCD axion based on a warped 5D model. A key ingredient of our setup is the introduction of a bulk scalar field , which is holographi…
Angle and Axial Anomaly in Holographic QCD
Csaba Csáki, Eric Kuflik, Wei Xue +1
We present a bottom-up holographic description of the QCD -vacuum and the anomaly in five dimensions. The multi-branched -vacuum structure emerges geometrically from…
Inelastically Decoupling Dark Matter
Ronny Frumkin, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik +1
We present a new dark matter candidate, the `inELastically DEcoupling Relic' (iELDER), which is a cold thermal relic whose abundance is determined by the freeze out of its inelasti…
Phases of Dark Matter from Inverse Decays
Ronny Frumkin, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik +1
Inverse decays are an interesting avenue for producing dark matter in the early universe. We study in detail various phases of dark matter parameter space where inverse decays cont…
