Big Axions
Hannah Banks, Marius Kongsore, Neal Weiner
We introduce big axions: axion models in which a Nambu-Goldstone mode emerges from the collective spontaneous breaking of a network of U(1) symmetries delocalized in theory space.…
Powerful Yukawas
Timothy Cohen, Matthew McCullough, Neal Weiner
We introduce a class of models where the masses of the light Standard Model fermions are due to an Effective Field Theory operator that appears beyond dimension-4 in the power coun…
Radio Killed the Axion Star: Constraining Axion Properties with Radio Telescopes
Patrick J. Fox, Neal Weiner, Huangyu Xiao
Axion dark matter or any ultralight bosonic dark matter can go through Bose-Einstein condensation due to the large phase density, leading to the formation of axion stars or soliton…
Searching for Dark Matter Interactions with ACT, SPT and DES
Zilu Zhou, Neal Weiner
Models of a dark radiation sector with a mass threshold (WZDR+) have proved to be an appealing alternative to CDM. These models provide simple comparison models, grounded in wel…
Supersplit Supersymmetry
P. J. Fox, D. E. Kaplan, E. Katz +5
The possible existence of an exponentially large number of vacua in string theory behooves one to consider possibilities beyond our traditional notions of naturalness. Such an appr…
Inelastic Dark Matter
David Smith, Neal Weiner
Many observations suggest that much of the matter of the universe is non-baryonic. Recently, the DAMA NaI dark matter direct detection experiment reported an annual modulation in t…
