Heavy neutron stars from light scalars
Reuven Balkin, Javi Serra, Konstantin Springmann +2
We study how light scalar fields can change the stellar landscape by triggering a new phase of nuclear matter. Scalars coupled to nucleons can develop a non-trivial expectation val…
Hunting muonic forces at emulsion detectors
Akitaka Ariga, Reuven Balkin, Iftah Galon +2
Only two types of Standard Model particles are able to propagate the meters separating the ATLAS interaction point and FASER: neutrinos and muons. Furthermore, muons are cop…
On-shell Higgsing for EFTs
Reuven Balkin, Gauthier Durieux, Teppei Kitahara +2
We study the on-shell version of the Higgs mechanism in effective theories (EFTs) containing particles of different spins, focusing on contact terms as a simple starting point. We…
