The hand-made tail: Non-perturbative tails from multifield inflation
Ana Achucarro, Sebastian Cespedes, Anne-Christine Davis +1
It is becoming increasingly clear that large but rare fluctuations of the primordial curvature field, controlled by the tail of its probability distribution, could have dramatic ef…
Muon and Screened Modified Gravity
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Benjamin Elder
We show how light scalar fields can account for the discrepancy between the theoretical and observed values of the anomalous magnetic moment of the (anti)muon. When coupled to both…
EuCAPT White Paper: Opportunities and Challenges for Theoretical Astroparticle Physics in the Next Decade
R. Alves Batista, M. A. Amin, G. Barenboim +134
Astroparticle physics is undergoing a profound transformation, due to a series of extraordinary new results, such as the discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos with IceCube, the…
Dark energy interactions near the galactic centre
David Benisty, Anne-Christine Davis
We investigate scalar-tensor theories, motivated by dark energy models, in the strong gravity regime around the black hole at the centre of our galaxy. In such theories general rel…
Spin-orbit effects for compact binaries in scalar-tensor gravity
Philippe Brax, Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville +1
Gravitational waves provide us with a new window into our Universe, and have already been used to place strong constrains on the existence of light scalar fields, which are a commo…
Scalar Fields Near Compact Objects: Resummation versus UV Completion
Anne-Christine Davis, Scott Melville
Low-energy effective field theories containing a light scalar field are used extensively in cosmology, but often there is a tension between embedding such theories in a healthy UV…
