Hydrogen Axion Star: Metallic Hydrogen Bound to a QCD Axion BEC
Yang Bai, Vernon Barger, Joshua Berger
As a cold dark matter candidate, the QCD axion may form Bose-Einstein condensates, called axion stars, with masses around . In this paper, we point out that a…
Search for Heavy Stops with Merged Top-Jets
Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, James Osborne +1
We study an interesting region of phase space at the LHC for pair-produced stops decaying into hadronic top quarks and light neutralinos. After imposing a sizeable cut on the missi…
Phenomenology of Strongly Coupled Chiral Gauge Theories
Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, James Osborne +1
A sector with QCD-like strong dynamics is common in models of non-standard physics. Such a model could be accessible in LHC searches if both confinement and big-quarks charged unde…
Color-octet Companions of a 750 GeV Heavy Pion
Yang Bai, Vernon Barger, Joshua Berger
Color octet bosons are a universal prediction of models in which the 750 GeV diphoton resonance corresponds to a pion of a QCD-like composite sector. We show that the existing sear…
Superbumps
Yang Bai, Joshua Berger
For a wide range of supersymmetric models, there is a chiral superfield whose scalar and pseudo-scalar have approximately degenerate masses and couplings to Standard Model particle…
