Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX)
Torsten Åkesson, Asher Berlin, Nikita Blinov +22
We present an initial design study for LDMX, the Light Dark Matter Experiment, a small-scale accelerator experiment having broad sensitivity to both direct dark matter and mediator…
A Thermal Neutrino Portal to Sub-MeV Dark Matter
Asher Berlin, Nikita Blinov
Thermal relics lighter than an MeV contribute to the energy density of the universe at the time of nucleosynthesis and recombination. Constraints on extra radiation degrees of free…
Consequences of Fine-Tuning for Fifth Force Searches
Nikita Blinov, Sebastian A. R. Ellis, Anson Hook
Light bosonic fields mediate long range forces between objects. If these fields have self-interactions, i.e., non-quadratic terms in the potential, the experimental constraints on…
Dark Matter, Millicharges, Axion and Scalar Particles, Gauge Bosons, and Other New Physics with LDMX
Asher Berlin, Nikita Blinov, Gordan Krnjaic +2
The proposed LDMX experiment would provide roughly a meter-long region of instrumented tracking and calorimetry that acts as a beam stop for multi-GeV electrons in which each elect…
Long-Lived Particles at the Energy Frontier: The MATHUSLA Physics Case
David Curtin, Marco Drewes, Matthew McCullough +85
We examine the theoretical motivations for long-lived particle (LLP) signals at the LHC in a comprehensive survey of Standard Model (SM) extensions. LLPs are a common prediction of…
Cosmology and Accelerator Tests of Strongly Interacting Dark Matter
Asher Berlin, Nikita Blinov, Stefania Gori +2
A natural possibility for dark matter is that it is composed of the stable pions of a QCD-like hidden sector. Existing literature largely assumes that pion self-interactions alone…
