LHC limits on axion-like particles from heavy-ion collisions
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Hou Keong Lou +1
In these proceedings we use recent LHC heavy-ion data to set a limit on axion-like particles coupling to electromagnetism with mass in the range 10-100 GeV. We recast ATLAS data as…
Making Asymmetric Dark Matter Gold: Early Universe Synthesis of Nuggets
Moira I. Gresham, Hou Keong Lou, Kathryn M. Zurek
We compute the mass function of bound states of Asymmetric Dark Matter--nuggets--synthesized in the early Universe. We apply our results for the nugget density and binding energy c…
Tracking down Quirks at the Large Hadron Collider
Simon Knapen, Hou Keong Lou, Michele Papucci +1
Non-helical tracks are the smoking gun signature of charged and/or colored quirks, which are pairs of particles bound by a new, long-range confining force. We propose a method to e…
Nuclear Structure of Bound States of Asymmetric Dark Matter
Moira I. Gresham, Hou Keong Lou, Kathryn M. Zurek
Models of Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM) with a sufficiently attractive and long-range force gives rise to stable bound objects, analogous to nuclei in the Standard Model, called nug…
LHC Searches for Dark Sector Showers
Timothy Cohen, Mariangela Lisanti, Hou Keong Lou +1
This paper proposes a new search program for dark sector parton showers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These signatures arise in theories characterized by strong dynamics in a…
