A Flavorful Factoring of the Strong CP Problem
Prateek Agrawal, Kiel Howe
Motivated by the intimate connection between the strong CP problem and the flavor structure of the Standard Model, we present a flavor model that revives and extends the classic ${…
Factoring the Strong CP Problem
Prateek Agrawal, Kiel Howe
We present a new mechanism to solve the strong CP problem using axions, each dynamically relaxing part of the parameter. At high energies the $SU(3)_…
Experimental Targets for Photon Couplings of the QCD Axion
Prateek Agrawal, JiJi Fan, Matthew Reece +1
The QCD axion's coupling to photons is often assumed to lie in a narrow band as a function of the axion mass. We demonstrate that several simple mechanisms, in addition to the phot…
Opening up the QCD axion window
Prateek Agrawal, Gustavo Marques-Tavares, Wei Xue
We present a new mechanism to deplete the energy density of the QCD axion, making decay constants as high as viable for generic initial conditions. I…
Point Sources from Dissipative Dark Matter
Prateek Agrawal, Lisa Randall
If a component of dark matter has dissipative interactions, it can cool to form compact astrophysical objects with higher density than that of conventional cold dark matter (sub)ha…
Deciphering the MSSM Higgs Mass at Future Hadron Colliders
Prateek Agrawal, JiJi Fan, Matthew Reece +1
Future hadron colliders will have a remarkable capacity to discover massive new particles, but their capabilities for precision measurements of couplings that can reveal underlying…
Dark Catalysis
Prateek Agrawal, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Lisa Randall +1
Recently it was shown that dark matter with mass of order the weak scale can be charged under a new long-range force, decoupled from the Standard Model, with only weak constraints…
