Understanding the Quantized Angular Momentum of Rotating Q-balls
Benjamin DeVries, Fabrizio Vassallo, Christopher B. Verhaaren
Non-topological solitons, such as Q-balls, may contribute to the cosmological dark matter. The formation and evolution of Q-balls in the early universe requires an understanding of…
Review of Neutral Naturalness
Brian Batell, Matthew Low, Ethan T. Neil +1
The hierarchy between the mass parameter of the Higgs boson and larger mass scales becomes ever more puzzling as experiments explore higher energies. Neutral naturalness is the umb…
Extended Color Twin Higgs
Brian Batell, Thomas Cochran, Logan Page +1
We describe a novel variation of the mirror Twin Higgs model in which the color gauge group in both sectors is extended to SU(4 and spontaneously broken to SU(3 exclusive…
Visible Collider Signals of Natural Quirks
Joshua Forsyth, Matthew Low, Carson Tenney +1
Though some LHC searches for new physics exceed the TeV scale, there may be discoveries waiting to be made at much lower masses. We outline a simple quirk model, motivated by model…
Geometrizing the Anomaly
Joshua Newey, John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren
Recently a manifestly gauge invariant formalism for calculating amplitudes in quantum electrodynamics was outlined in which the field strength, rather than the gauge potential, is…
Schwinger vs Coleman: Magnetic Charge Renormalization
Joshua Newey, John Terning, Christopher B. Verhaaren
The kinetic mixing of two U(1) gauge theories can result in a massless photon that has perturbative couplings to both electric and magnetic charges. This framework can be used to p…
