Search for Astronomical Neutrinos from Blazar TXS0506+056 in Super-Kamiokande
K. Hagiwara, K. Abe, C. Bronner +169
We report a search for astronomical neutrinos in the energy region from several GeV to TeV in the direction of the blazar TXS0506+056 using the Super-Kamiokande detector following…
Cosmological Dependence of Resonantly Produced Sterile Neutrinos
Graciela B. Gelmini, Philip Lu, Volodymyr Takhistov
The detection of a sterile neutrino could constitute the first observation of a particle that could have been produced before Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), and could provide info…
Inclusive Nucleon Decay Searches as a Frontier of Baryon Number Violation
Julian Heeck, Volodymyr Takhistov
Proton decay, and the decay of nucleons in general, constitutes one of the most sensitive probes of high-scale physics beyond the Standard Model. Most of the existing nucleon decay…
Sensitivity of Super-Kamiokande with Gadolinium to Low Energy Anti-neutrinos from Pre-supernova Emission
C. Simpson, K. Abe, C. Bronner +186
Supernova detection is a major objective of the Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment. In the next stage of SK (SK-Gd), gadolinium (Gd) sulfate will be added to the detector, which will…
Cosmological Dependence of Non-resonantly Produced Sterile Neutrinos
Graciela B. Gelmini, Philip Lu, Volodymyr Takhistov
We discuss how a laboratory detection of a sterile neutrino not only would constitute a fundamental discovery of a new particle, but could also provide an indication of the evoluti…
Visible Sterile Neutrinos as the Earliest Relic Probes of Cosmology
Graciela B. Gelmini, Philip Lu, Volodymyr Takhistov
A laboratory detection of a sterile neutrino could provide the first indication of the evolution of the Universe before Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN), an epoch yet untested. Such…
New Venues in Formation and Detection for Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter
Volodymyr Takhistov
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are not as exotic as once thought and constitute a compelling non-particle dark matter (DM) candidate. We present a novel general PBH formation mechan…
Novel Signals from Neutron Star Mergers at 511 keV
Volodymyr Takhistov
Synergetic observations of multi-band coincidence signals from merging neutron stars have definitively marked the significance of multi-messenger astronomy. We present a new generi…
Fundamental Forces and Scalar Field Dynamics in the Early Universe
Alexander Kusenko, Volodymyr Takhistov, Masaki Yamada +1
Scalar weak gravity conjectures (SWGCs) attempt to pinpoint the ranges of couplings consistent with a fundamental theory of all interactions. We identify a generic dynamical conseq…
Analytic Description of Primordial Black Hole Formation from Scalar Field Fragmentation
Eric Cotner, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki +1
Primordial black hole (PBH) formation is a more generic phenomenon than was once thought. The dynamics of a scalar field in inflationary universe can produce PBHs under mild assump…
Gravitational wave probes of dark matter: challenges and opportunities
Gianfranco Bertone, Djuna Croon, Mustafa A. Amin +9
In this white paper, we discuss the prospects for characterizing and identifying dark matter using gravitational waves, covering a wide range of dark matter candidate types and sig…
White Paper on New Opportunities at the Next-Generation Neutrino Experiments (Part 1: BSM Neutrino Physics and Dark Matter)
C. A. Argüelles, A. J. Aurisano, B. Batell +47
With the advent of a new generation of neutrino experiments which leverage high-intensity neutrino beams for precision measurements, it is timely to explore physics topics beyond t…
Possible Hints of Sterile Neutrinos in Recent Measurements of the Hubble Parameter
Graciela B. Gelmini, Alexander Kusenko, Volodymyr Takhistov
Local Universe observations find a value of the Hubble constant that is larger than the value inferred from the Cosmic Microwave Background and other early Universe measureme…
Pre-Supernova Neutrinos in Large Dark Matter Direct Detection Experiments
Nirmal Raj, Volodymyr Takhistov, Samuel J. Witte
The next Galactic core-collapse supernova (SN) is a highly anticipated observational target for neutrino telescopes. However, even prior to collapse, massive dying stars shine copi…
Electromagnetic probes of primordial black holes as dark matter
Y. Ali-Haimoud, S. Clesse, J. Garcia-Bellido +91
The LIGO discoveries have rekindled suggestions that primordial black holes (BHs) may constitute part to all of the dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Such suggestions came from 1)…
Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillation Analysis With Improved Event Reconstruction in Super-Kamiokande IV
Kamiokande Collaboration, M. Jiang, K. Abe +167
A new event reconstruction algorithm based on a maximum likelihood method has been developed for Super-Kamiokande. Its improved kinematic and particle identification capabilities e…
