Dark photon decay beyond the Euler-Heisenberg limit

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Samuel D. McDermott, Hiren H. Patel, and Harikrishnan Ramani

We calculate the exact width for a dark photon decaying to three photons at one-loop order for dark photon masses ${m}^{′}$ below the ${e}^{+}{e}^{−}$ production threshold of $2{m}_{e}$. We find substantial deviations from previous results derived from the lowest order Euler-Heisenberg effective Lag...

NNLO QCD corrections to associated $WH$ production and $H→b\overline{b}$ decay

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Fabrizio Caola, Gionata Luisoni, Kirill Melnikov, and Raoul Röntsch

We present a computation of the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the production of a Higgs boson in association with a $W$ boson at the LHC and the subsequent decay of the Higgs boson into a $b\overline{b}$ pair, treating the $b$ quarks as massless. We consider various kinemat...

Twist-3 contributions to wide-angle photoproduction of pions

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): P. Kroll and K. Passek-Kumerički

We investigate wide-angle ${π}^{0}$ photoproduction within the handbag approach to twist-3 accuracy. In contrast to earlier work both the 2-particle as well as the 3-particle twist-3 contributions are taken into account. It is shown that both are needed for consistent results that respect gauge inva...

Cosmological bounds on non-Abelian dark forces

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Lindsay Forestell, David E. Morrissey, and Kris Sigurdson

Non-Abelian dark gauge forces that do not couple directly to ordinary matter may be realized in nature. The minimal form of such a dark force is a pure Yang-Mills theory. If the dark sector is reheated in the early Universe, it will be realized as a set of dark gluons at high temperatures and as a c...

Lepton-number-charged scalars and neutrino beamstrahlung

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Jeffrey M. Berryman, André de Gouvêa, Kevin J. Kelly, and Yue Zhang

Experimentally, baryon number minus lepton number, $B−L$, appears to be a good global symmetry of nature. We explore the consequences of the existence of gauge-singlet scalar fields charged under $B−L$–dubbed lepton-number-charged scalars (LeNCSs)—and postulate that these couple to the standard mode...

Spontaneous $CP$-violation in the simplest little Higgs model and its future collider tests: The scalar sector

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Ying-nan Mao

We propose spontaneous $CP$ violation in the simplest little Higgs model. In this model, the pseudoscalar field can acquire a nonzero vacuum expectation value. This leads to a mixing between the two scalars with different $CP$ charge, which means that spontaneous $CP$ violation occurs. It is also a ...

LHC signals for singlet neutrinos from a natural warped seesaw mechanism. I

Recently, it was shown in K. Agashe et al. [Phys. Rev.

A natural seesaw mechanism for obtaining the observed size of SM neutrino masses can arise in a warped extra-dimensional/composite Higgs framework.

Low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts as the sources of ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray nuclei

Author(s): B. Theodore Zhang, Kohta Murase, Shigeo S. Kimura, Shunsaku Horiuchi, and Peter Mészáros

Recent results from the Pierre Auger Collaboration have shown that the composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) becomes gradually heavier with increasing energy. Although gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been promising sources of UHECRs, it is still unclear whether they can account for the A...

Inflaton fragmentation in $E$ models of cosmological $α$-attractors

2018-04-23T10:00:00+00:00

Author(s): Fuminori Hasegawa and Jeong-Pyong Hong

Cosmological $α$-attractors are observationally favored due to the asymptotic flatness of the potential. Since its flatness induces the negative pressure, the coherent oscillation of the inflaton field could fragment into quasistable localized objects called I-balls (or “oscillons”). We investigated...

The gravitational entropy and no-hair conjectures seem to predict contradictory future states of our Universe. The growth of the gravitational entropy is associated with the growth of inhomogeneity, while the no-hair conjecture argues that a universe dominated by dark energy should asymptotically ap...

Gravitational wave observations of GW170817 placed bounds on the tidal deformabilities of compact stars, allowing one to probe equations of state for matter at supranuclear densities.

In the present work we study the propagation of a probe minimally coupled scalar field in Einstein-power-Maxwell charged black hole background in ($1+2$) dimensions. We find analytical expressions for the reflection coefficient as well as for the absorption cross section in the low energy regime, an...

Author(s): Nikolay Kozyrev, Sergey Krivonos, Olaf Lechtenfeld, Armen Nersessian, and Anton Sutulin

We present $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric mechanics on $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds constructed within the Hamiltonian approach. The structure functions entering the supercharges and the Hamiltonian obey modified covariant constancy equations as well as modified Witten–Dijkgraaf–Verlinde–Ver...

We consider a chain of Abelian Klebanov-Tarnopolsky fermionic tensor models coupled through quartic nearest-neighbor interactions. We characterize the gauge-singlet spectrum for small chains ($L=2,3,4,5$) and observe that the spectral statistics exhibits strong evidence in favor of quasi-many-body l...
