Improved Constraints on Dark Matter Annihilations Around Primordial Black Holes
Prolay Chanda, Jakub Scholtz, James Unwin
Cosmology may give rise to appreciable populations of both particle dark matter and primordial black holes (PBH) with the combined mass density providing the observationally inferr…
Resurrecting the Fraternal Twin WIMP Miracle
David Curtin, Shayne Gryba, Dan Hooper +2
In Twin Higgs models which contain the minimal particle content required to address the little hierarchy problem (i.e. fraternal models), the twin tau has been identified as a prom…
Kick-alignment: matter asymmetry sourced dark matter
Rodrigo Alonso, Jakub Scholtz
We investigate the possibility that the dark matter abundance is sourced by the baryon/lepton asymmetry of the early Universe. It turns out that a Goldstone field of a local classi…
What if Planet 9 is a Primordial Black Hole?
Jakub Scholtz, James Unwin
We highlight that the anomalous orbits of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) and an excess in microlensing events in the 5-year OGLE dataset can be simultaneously explained by a new po…
within the Standard Model and beyond
Mikael Chala, Alexander Lenz, Aleksey V. Rusov +1
In light of the recent LHCb observation of CP violation in the charm sector, we review standard model (SM) predictions in the charm sector and in particular for . We get a…
Out-of-the-box Baryogenesis During Relaxation
S. A. Abel, R. S. Gupta, J. Scholtz
We show that spontaneous baryogenesis occurs automatically in relaxion models if the reheating temperature is larger than the weak scale, provided the Standard Model fields are cha…
A Higgsploding Theory of Dark Matter
Valentin V. Khoze, Joey Reiness, Jakub Scholtz +1
We show that the Higgsplosion mechanism makes a prediction for the mass and coupling of a WIMP-like minimal scalar dark matter model. In particular the currently favoured minimal v…
Make Dark Matter Charged Again
Prateek Agrawal, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Lisa Randall +1
We revisit constraints on dark matter that is charged under a gauge group in the dark sector, decoupled from Standard Model forces. We find that the strongest constraints in…
Precision Diboson Observables for the LHC
Christopher Frye, Marat Freytsis, Jakub Scholtz +1
Motivated by the restoration of at high energy, we suggest that certain ratios of diboson differential cross sections can be used as high-precision observables a…
Flooded Dark Matter and S Level Rise
Lisa Randall, Jakub Scholtz, James Unwin
Most dark matter (DM) models set the DM relic density by some interaction with Standard Model particles. Such models generally assume the existence of Standard Model particles earl…
Heavy Flavor & Dark Sector
Ann E. Nelson, Jakub Scholtz
We consider some contributions to rare processes in meson decays from a Dark Sector containing 2 light unstable scalars, with large couplings to each other and small mixings wi…
Phenomenology of Photon-Jets
Stephen D. Ellis, Tuhin S. Roy, Jakub Scholtz
One of the challenges of collider physics is to unambiguously associate detector based objects with the corresponding elementary physics objects. A particular example is the associ…
Jets and Photons
Stephen D. Ellis, Tuhin S. Roy, Jakub Scholtz
This Letter applies the concept of `jets', as constructed from calorimeter cell four-vectors, to jets composed (primarily) of photons (or leptons). Thus jets become a superset of b…
Dark Light, Dark Matter and the Misalignment Mechanism
Ann E. Nelson, Jakub Scholtz
We explore the possibility that the dark matter is a condensate of a very light vector boson. Such a condensate could be produced during inflation, provided the vector mass arises…
