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…
: A State of the Field, and Looking Forward--A brief status report of theoretical and experimental physics opportunities
Kaladi Babu, Joshua Barrow, Zurab Berezhiani +21
The origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry apparently obligates the laws of physics to include some mechanism of baryon number () violation. Searches for interactio…
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…
Unified Scenario for Composite Right-Handed Neutrinos and Dark Matter
Hooman Davoudiasl, Pier Paolo Giardino, Ethan T. Neil +1
We entertain the possibility that neutrino masses and dark matter (DM) originate from a common composite dark sector. A minimal effective theory can be constructed based on a dark…
Lattice QCD input for axion cosmology
Evan Berkowitz, Michael I. Buchoff, Enrico Rinaldi
One intriguing BSM particle is the QCD axion, which could simultaneously provide a solution to the Strong CP problem and account for some, if not all, of the dark matter density in…
