Many dark sector models predict the formation of dark objects, such as solitons and dark stars, which can be searched for through their gravitational lensing of gravitational waves…
Data-Driven Predictions for Dark Photon and Millicharged Particle Production
Elizabeth Allison, Nikita Blinov
Accurate signal predictions are essential for interpreting and optimizing fixed-target searches for new physics. Even in minimal models such as the dark photon () or millicharg…

G. Krnjaic, N. Toro, A. Berlin +11
Dark matter particles can be observably produced at intensity-frontier experiments, and opportunities in the next decade will explore important parameter space motivated by thermal…
DarkQuest: A dark sector upgrade to SpinQuest at the 120 GeV Fermilab Main Injector
Aram Apyan, Brian Batell, Asher Berlin +36
Expanding the mass range and techniques by which we search for dark matter is an important part of the worldwide particle physics program. Accelerator-based searches for dark matte…
Snowmass White Paper: Strong CP Beyond Axion Direct Detection
Nikita Blinov, Nathaniel Craig, Matthew J. Dolan +5
We sketch recent progress and promising future directions for research connected with the strong CP problem. Topics surveyed include axion dark matter substructure and its gravitat…
New Ideas in Baryogenesis: A Snowmass White Paper
Gilly Elor, Julia Harz, Seyda Ipek +21
The Standard Model of Particle Physics cannot explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. This observation is a clear sign of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Ther…
Physics Opportunities for the Fermilab Booster Replacement

This white paper presents opportunities afforded by the Fermilab Booster Replacement and its various options. Its goal is to inform the design process of the Booster Replacement ab…
Neutrino Self-Interactions: A White Paper
Jeffrey M. Berryman, Nikita Blinov, Vedran Brdar +31
Neutrinos are the Standard Model (SM) particles which we understand the least, often due to how weakly they interact with the other SM particles. Beyond this, very little is known…
