Warming up cold inflation
William DeRocco, Peter W. Graham, Saarik Kalia
The axion is a well-motivated candidate for the inflaton, as the radiative corrections that spoil many single-field models are avoided by virtue of its shift symmetry. However, axi…
Earth as a transducer for dark-photon dark-matter detection
Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Derek F. Jackson Kimball +1
We propose the use of the Earth as a transducer for ultralight dark-matter detection. In particular we point out a novel signal of kinetically mixed dark-photon dark matter: a mono…
Statistics of Peaks in Chi-Squared Fields
Jolyon K. Bloomfield, Stephen H. P. Face, Alan H. Guth +2
Chi-squared random fields arise naturally from the study of fluctuations in field theories with SO(n) symmetry. The extrema of chi-squared fields are of particular physical interes…
Modeling Smooth Backgrounds and Generic Localized Signals with Gaussian Processes
Meghan Frate, Kyle Cranmer, Saarik Kalia +2
We describe a procedure for constructing a model of a smooth data spectrum using Gaussian processes rather than the historical parametric description. This approach considers a ful…
