Strange hadrons are commonly included in dense-matter equation-of-state models by imposing chemical equilibrium, but the weak-interaction timescales required to establish it in core-collapse supernovae have not been systematically assessed.…

We promote the accidental $B+L$ symmetry of the Standard Model to a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry while realizing spontaneous proton decay radiatively. The PQ anomaly sector consists of vector-like quarks (VLQs), providing a…

This thesis investigates the dynamics of self-interacting dark sectors in the early Universe populated through the freeze-in mechanism. The main focus is on scenarios with self-number-changing reactions of the form $2\leftrightarrow3$, and…

We revisit the sensitivity of Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) crystals as detectors for low-mass dark matter. In previous work, we established the concept of the ``magnetic bubble chamber'', where energy deposited by dark matter triggers a…

We present an extraction and phenomenological study of genuine twist-three parton distribution functions (PDFs) through a global QCD analysis of the structure function $g_2$ in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS), its moment $d_2$, and…

In this study, we combine residual correction with the physical treatment of charmonium masses within a Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) motivated potential-model framework via variational Monte Carlo (VMC). The aim is not to propose a new…

We present the subensemble acceptance method 3.0 (SAM-3.0), which corrects cumulants of an observable measured in a subsystem of a large system for the effect of exact global conservation of multiple charges. The required input is the set…

Non-standard cosmological histories with epochs of early matter domination (EMD) arise in various top-down models of the early universe. Typically, in the latter stage of EMD, temperature decreases more slowly than in a radiation dominated…

The production of $\Lambda_c^+$ baryons in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV is investigated within the quark recombination framework, including the energy loss of light and charm quarks inside the hot and dense medium. The…

The Hammer software library provides fast and efficient reweighting of large simulated datasets containing semileptonic $b$-hadron decays to any beyond Standard Model (BSM) theory, or to any form-factor description of the hadronic matrix…

Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of nucleons, nuclei, atoms, and molecules are among the most sensitive probes of CP violation beyond the Standard Model and are intimately connected to the strong CP problem and the origin of the…

We compute the matching of QCD quark-antiquark currents onto the set of the two-particle and three-particle two-jet operators in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the perturbative QCD series, including…

We investigate the electromagnetic interactions of dipole dark matter (DM) within an effective field theory framework, considering both standard and non-standard cosmological scenarios. We first study the prospects of DM production via both…

Neural network surrogates for LHC scattering amplitudes require trustworthy uncertainty estimates, a challenging task given the non-Gaussian systematics. We target it using conformal prediction, a distribution-free post-processing to…

Superluminal neutrino propagation, induced by Lorentz-invariance violation (LIV), is strongly constrained by vacuum pair emission, $\nu \to \nu + e^- + e^+$, a process ordinarily forbidden, which rapidly degrades the energy of high-energy…

When the axion mass is generated during a first-order phase transition and becomes non-vanishing only inside expanding true-vacuum bubbles, the standard picture of misalignment production is qualitatively modified. Using lattice simulations…

The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion and axion-like particles may form bound clouds around spinning black holes (BHs) when their Compton wavelength is comparable to the BH gravitational radius, depleting the BH spin through what is known…

We argue that cosmological models obeying the Covariant Entropy Bound (CEB) mathematically favor states with no localized excitations or one large black hole containing all the energy in a constrained initial state. In order to get a long…

We present the first calculation of the next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections to vector-boson scattering into doubly polarised Z bosons at the LHC in the fully leptonic decay channel. The production and decay of the two polarised Z…

HyperFORM brings the parametric integration of hyperlogarithms, weighted by rational prefactors, into the symbolic-manipulation system FORM. It ports the capabilities of Erik Panzer's Maple package HyperInt, capitalizing on FORM's speed…
