Singlet Scalar Resonances and the Diphoton Excess
Samuel D. McDermott, Patrick Meade, Harikrishnan Ramani
ATLAS and CMS recently released the first results of searches for diphoton resonances in 13 TeV data, revealing a modest excess at an invariant mass of approximately 750 GeV. We fi…
Wavelet-Based Techniques for the Gamma-Ray Sky
Samuel D. McDermott, Patrick J. Fox, Ilias Cholis +1
We demonstrate how the image analysis technique of wavelet decomposition can be applied to the gamma-ray sky to separate emission on different angular scales. New structures on sca…
Inflatable Dark Matter
Hooman Davoudiasl, Dan Hooper, Samuel D. McDermott
We describe a general scenario, dubbed "Inflatable Dark Matter", in which the density of dark matter particles can be reduced through a short period of late-time inflation in the e…
Identifying the Theory of Dark Matter with Direct Detection
Vera Gluscevic, Moira I. Gresham, Samuel D. McDermott +2
Identifying the true theory of dark matter depends crucially on accurately characterizing interactions of dark matter (DM) with other species. In the context of DM direct detection…
