Echoes of Nucleon Decay from Long-Lived Particles
Patrick Adolf, Chandan Hati, Martin Hirsch +1
Nucleon decay searches provide uniquely sensitive probes of baryon number violation and physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose a new class of nucleon decay observables invol…

Addendum: Fitting the DESI BAO Data with Dark Energy Driven by the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson Bound
Patrick Adolf, Martin Hirsch, Sara Krieg +2
Motivated by the recent Year-2 data release of the DESI collaboration, we update our results on time-varying dark energy models driven by the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson bound. The previou…

Dark Energy Driven by the Cohen-Kaplan-Nelson Bound
Patrick Adolf, Martin Hirsch, Sara Krieg +2
In this work, we confront the bound on an ultraviolet cutoff (UV) of a quantum field theory (QFT) proposed by Cohen, Kaplan, and Nelson (CKN) with the latest results of the Dark En…
