Top Yukawa Coupling Determination at High Energy Muon Collider
Zhen Liu, Kun-Feng Lyu, Ishmam Mahbub +1
The Top Yukawa coupling profoundly influences several core mysteries linked to the electroweak scale and the Higgs boson. We study the feasibility of measuring the Top Yukawa coupl…
Topportunities at the LHC: Rare Top Decays with Light Singlets
Henning Bahl, Seth Koren, Lian-Tao Wang
The discovery of the top quark, the most massive elementary particle yet known, has given us a distinct window into investigating the physics of the Standard Model and Beyond. With…
Coupling a Cosmic String to a TQFT
T. Daniel Brennan, Sungwoo Hong, Lian-Tao Wang
A common framework of particle physics consists of two sectors of particles, such as the Standard Model and a dark sector, with some interaction between them. In this work, we init…
Accommodating the CDF W-boson Mass Measurement in the Beautiful Mirror Model
Shengdu Chai, Jiayin Gu, Lian-Tao Wang
The W-boson mass measurement recently reported by the CDF II experiment exhibits a significant deviation from both the Standard Model prediction and previous measurements. There is…
More axions from diluted domain walls
Keisuke Harigaya, Lian-Tao Wang
We consider the scenario in which the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking is followed by a period of inflation. A particularly interesting case is that the string-domain wall network pr…
Report of the Topical Group on Physics Beyond the Standard Model at Energy Frontier for Snowmass 2021
Tulika Bose, Antonio Boveia, Caterina Doglioni +318
This is the Snowmass2021 Energy Frontier (EF) Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) report. It combines the EF topical group reports of EF08 (Model-specific explorations), EF09 (More gen…
The ALP explanation to muon and its test at future Tera- and Higgs factories
Jia Liu, Xiaolin Ma, Lian-Tao Wang +1
Models with an Axion Like Particle (ALP) can provide an explanation for the discrepancy between experimental measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the Sta…
Conformal Freeze-In, Composite Dark Photon, and Asymmetric Reheating
Wen Han Chiu, Sungwoo Hong, Lian-Tao Wang
Large classes of dark sector models feature mass scales and couplings very different from the ones we observe in the Standard Model (SM). Moreover, in the freeze-in mechanism, ofte…
Tripling down on the boson mass
Henning Bahl, Wen Han Chiu, Christina Gao +2
A new precision measurement of the boson mass has been announced by the CDF collaboration, which strongly deviates from the Standard Model prediction. In this article, we study…
The Higgs boson Turns Ten
Gavin P. Salam, Lian-Tao Wang, Giulia Zanderighi
The discovery of the Higgs boson, ten years ago, was a milestone that opened the door to the study of a new sector of fundamental physical interactions. We review the role of the H…
The Physics potential of the CEPC. Prepared for the US Snowmass Community Planning Exercise (Snowmass 2021)
Huajie Cheng, Wen Han Chiu, Yaquan Fang +20
The Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is a large-scale collider facility that can serve as a factory of the Higgs, Z, and W bosons and is upgradable to run at the ttbar th…
Physics at Future Colliders: the Interplay Between Energy and Luminosity
Zhen Liu, Lian-Tao Wang
In this note, as an input to the Snowmass studies, we provide a broad-brush picture of the physics output of future colliders as a function of their center of mass energies and lum…
Large-Field Inflation and the Cosmological Collider
Matthew Reece, Lian-Tao Wang, Zhong-Zhi Xianyu
Large-field inflation is a major class of inflation models featuring a near- or super-Planckian excursion of the inflaton field. We point out that the large excursion generically i…
Displaying dark matter constraints from colliders with varying simplified model parameters
