Scalar baryons in neutron stars
Julian Heeck, Yu Zhi
Neutron stars have baryon chemical potentials that can exceed the neutron mass, providing favorable conditions to convert neutrons to new particles carrying baryon number, even if…
Gauged Q-balls in flat potentials
Julian Heeck, Yu Zhi
Q-balls are large bound-state systems of scalar particles, described classically through localized solutions of the equations of motion. Promoting the required stabilizing U(1) sym…
Q-balls across dimensions
Dusty Aiello, Julian Heeck
Scalars carrying a conserved global charge can form stable localized field configurations composed of a large number of particles. These non-topological solitons are sphericall…
Opening up baryon-number-violating operators
Julian Heeck, Diana Sokhashvili, Anil Thapa
Baryon number violation is our most sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. Its realization through heavy new particles can be conveniently encoded in higher-dimensio…
New avenues for tau flavor violation
Julian Heeck
I present a concise overview of tau flavor violation and the broad opportunities it offers, with a focus on non-standard decay channels and their underlying theoretical motivations…
Nucleon Decays into Light New Particles in Neutrino Detectors
Julian Heeck, Ian M. Shoemaker
Proton and neutron decays into light new particles can drastically change the experimental signatures and benefit from the complementarity of large water-Cherenkov neutrino det…
