Misalignment from kicks: the impact of particle interactions on ultra-light dark matter
Clare Burrage, Sergio Sevillano Muñoz, Sergio Sevillano Muñoz
Oscillating ultra-light scalar fields are a natural explanation for the dark matter in our universe, as long as a mechanism, often called a misalignment mechanism, exists to explai…
Fock state probability changes in open quantum systems
Clare Burrage, Christian Käding
Open quantum systems are powerful effective descriptions of quantum systems interacting with their environments. Studying changes of Fock state probabilities can be intricate in th…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
Matter Sourced Bubble Nucleation in the Asymmetron Scalar-Tensor Theory
Usama Syed Aqeel, Clare Burrage, Oliver Gould +1
We investigate how matter density distributions affect thin-wall bubble formation in the asymmetron mechanism, a scalar-tensor theory with a universal coupling to matter and explic…
