Gravitational waves from fermion production during axion inflation
Peter Adshead, Lauren Pearce, Marco Peloso +2
We present analytic results for the gravitational wave power spectrum induced in models where the inflaton is coupled to a fermionic pseudocurrent. We show that although such a cou…
Phenomenology of fermion production during axion inflation
Peter Adshead, Lauren Pearce, Marco Peloso +2
We study the production of fermions through a derivative coupling with a pseudoscalar inflaton and the effects of the produced fermions on the scalar primordial perturbations. We p…
Leptogenesis via the 750 GeV pseudoscalar
Alexander Kusenko, Lauren Pearce, Louis Yang
Recently the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have reported evidence of a diphoton excess which may be interpreted as a pseudoscalar boson S with a mass around 750 GeV. To explain the…
Signals from dark atom formation in halos
Lauren Pearce, Kalliopi Petraki, Alexander Kusenko
We consider indirect detection signals of atomic dark matter, with a massive dark photon which mixes kinetically with hypercharge. In significant regions of parameter space, dark m…
Can supersymmetry breaking lead to electroweak symmetry breaking via formation of scalar bound states?
John M. Cornwall, Alexander Kusenko, Lauren Pearce +1
The recent discovery of the putative 125-GeV Higgs boson has motivated a number of attempts to reconcile its relatively large mass with the predictions of the minimal supersymmetri…
