Re-examining the Solar Axion Explanation for the XENON1T Excess
Christina Gao, Jia Liu, Lian-Tao Wang +3
The XENON1T collaboration has observed an excess in electronic recoil events below over the known background, which could originate from beyond-the-Standard-Model…
The Leptoquark Hunter's Guide: Large Coupling
Martin Schmaltz, Yi-Ming Zhong
Leptoquarks have recently received much attention especially because they may provide an explanation to the and anomalies in rare meson decays. In a…
Constraining Dissipative Dark Matter Self-Interactions
Rouven Essig, Samuel D. McDermott, Hai-Bo Yu +1
We study the gravothermal evolution of dark matter halos in the presence of dissipative dark matter self-interactions. Dissipative interactions are present in many particle-physics…
Exploring Leptophilic Dark Matter with NA64-
Chien-Yi Chen, Jonathan Kozaczuk, Yi-Ming Zhong
We investigate the prospects for detecting light leptophilic dark sectors with a missing-momentum experiment at NA64 running in muon mode. In particular, we consider models in whic…
Higgs-Precision Constraints on Colored Naturalness
Rouven Essig, Patrick Meade, Harikrishnan Ramani +1
The presence of weak-scale colored top partners is among the simplest solutions to the Higgs hierarchy problem and allows for a natural electroweak scale. We examine the constraint…
The Leptoquark Hunter's Guide: Pair Production
Bastian Diaz, Martin Schmaltz, Yi-Ming Zhong
Leptoquarks occur in many new physics scenarios and could be the next big discovery at the LHC. The purpose of this paper is to point out that a model-independent search strategy c…
US Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter 2017: Community Report
Marco Battaglieri, Alberto Belloni, Aaron Chou +248
This white paper summarizes the workshop "U.S. Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter" held at University of Maryland on March 23-25, 2017.
Muon Beam Experiments to Probe the Dark Sector
Chien-Yi Chen, Maxim Pospelov, Yi-Ming Zhong
A persistence of several anomalies in muon physics, such as the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the muonic hydrogen Lamb shift, hints at new light particles beyond the Standard…
Dark Sectors 2016 Workshop: Community Report
Jim Alexander, Marco Battaglieri, Bertrand Echenard +201
This report, based on the Dark Sectors workshop at SLAC in April 2016, summarizes the scientific importance of searches for dark sector dark matter and forces at masses beneath the…
Physics at a 100 TeV pp collider: Higgs and EW symmetry breaking studies
R. Contino, D. Curtin, A. Katz +72
This report summarises the physics opportunities for the study of Higgs bosons and the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking at the 100 TeV pp collider.
Diphoton Excess through Dark Mediators
Chien-Yi Chen, Michel Lefebvre, Maxim Pospelov +1
Preliminary ATLAS and CMS results from the first 13 TeV LHC run have encountered an intriguing excess of events in the diphoton channel around the invariant mass of 750 GeV. We inv…
Probing triple-Higgs productions via decay channel at a 100 TeV hadron collider
Chien-Yi Chen, Qi-Shu Yan, Xiaoran Zhao +2
The quartic self-coupling of the Standard Model Higgs boson can only be measured by observing the triple-Higgs production process, but it is challenging for the Large Hadron Collid…
Uncovering light scalars with exotic Higgs decays to bbmumu
David Curtin, Rouven Essig, Yi-Ming Zhong
The search for exotic Higgs decays are an essential probe of new physics. In particular, the small width of the Higgs boson makes its decay uniquely sensitive to the existence of l…
Projections for Dark Photon Searches at Mu3e
Bertrand Echenard, Rouven Essig, Yi-Ming Zhong
We show that dark photons (A') with masses ~10-80 MeV can be probed in the decay , with the upcoming Mu3e experiment at the Paul Scherrer…
Constraining Light Dark Matter with Low-Energy e+e- Colliders
Rouven Essig, Jeremy Mardon, Michele Papucci +2
We investigate the power of low-energy, high-luminosity electron--positron colliders to probe hidden sectors with a mass below ~10 GeV that couple to Standard Model particles throu…
