Abundant production of scalars and axions from phase transition bubble expansion

Isabel Garcia Garcia, Gaurang Ramakant Kane, John March-Russell +1

We revisit aspects of particle production during cosmological first-order phase transitions, and show that the expansion of true-vacuum bubbles can be a copious source of particle…

Compact space catalysis of false vacuum decay and Schwinger effect

Saquib Hassan, John March-Russell

We study zero-temperature false vacuum decay in compact spatial dimensions and show that for volumes below a critical value a new bounce solution, different from Coleman's cele…

A more effective QCD string at colliders: Decay of excited strings and the worldsheet axion

Ethan Carragher, John March-Russell

The confining flux tube of d QCD is described by an effective string theory with d worldsheet action that extends the Nambu-Goto form by the addition of a massive pse…

Probing the Dark Matter EFT with QUEST-DMC: Projected Sensitivities and Attenuation Ceilings

DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, S. Autti +27

This proceedings contribution summarises projected constraints from the QUEST-DMC concept, a surface-based direct-detection experiment using superfluid He operated below the mi…

Characterisation of silicon photomultipliers in a dilution refrigerator down to 9.4 mK towards a cryogenic cosmic-ray muon veto system

DMC Collaboration, A. Kemp, S. Autti +30

We report the characterisation of a FBK NUV-HD-cryo silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) sensor operated in a 9.4 0.2 mK environment inside a dilution refrigerator, towards the dev…

Development of superfluid helium-3 bolometry using nanowire resonators with SQUID readout for the QUEST-DMC experiment

DMC Collaboration, E. Leason, L. V. Levitin +28

Superfluid helium-3 bolometers can be utilised for dark matter direct detection searches. The extremely low heat capacity of the B phase of the superfluid helium-3 at ultra-low tem…
