We investigate the interplay between lepton flavor violation (LFV) and leptogenesis in the minimal scotogenic model, comparing high-scale hierarchical leptogenesis and low-scale resonant leptogenesis within a unified Casas--Ibarra…
Based on a suitable basis system for the quark-gluon vertex' transverse tensor structures and on carefully chosen kinematical variables, the transverse part of the quark-gluon vertex in quenched QCD in the Landau gauge is obtained from a…
We use the two-flavor Linear Sigma Model with quarks as an effective description of QCD to investigate the nature of the chiral phase transition at finite baryon chemical potential and zero temperature. We work at one-loop order to set up…
We present a systematic study of particle production in $Ne+Ne$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.36$ TeV using the A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) model with string melting (SM) configuration. The analysis compares spherical and…
A graph-theoretic method is introduced for analyzing fermion mass spectra in latticized theory-space models, including chain models arising from dimensional deconstruction. Fermion mass terms are mapped to bipartite graphs, with fields as…
In this work, we investigate a decaying dark matter scenario and its associated indirect detection signatures. The model consists of a scalar singlet with a lifetime exceeding the age of the Universe. Stability is ensured by a $Z_2$…
This set of notes complements the lectures and recitation sessions discussed in the following graduate schools: HUGS at Jefferson Lab (years 2018, 2019, 2021), the International School and Workshop on Probing Hadron Structure at the…
We explore the sensitivity of neutrino observatories and direct dark matter detection experiments to boosted sub-GeV dark matter produced by inelastic cosmic ray collisions in the atmosphere. We revisit earlier approaches and extend the…
Neutrino telescopes have detected astrophysical neutrinos with energies up to ${O}(100)$ PeV. Several current and proposed experiments aim to observe neutrinos at even higher energies, with the goal of detecting cosmogenic neutrinos. This…
A dark matter sector composed of magnetic monopoles of a dark U(1) symmetry having a small kinetic mixing with the Standard Model photon has a rich and interesting phenomenology. The model in itself is also of theoretical interest. Based on…
We propose a search at the LHC for GeV-scale particles coupling predominantly to light quarks based on low-multiplicity jets. The search targets production in association with a hard photon and uses the feature that a light gauge-singlet…
We present a solvable same-sector effective theory for anomaly-inspired axion inflation, in which a heavy trace-anomaly mode dynamically backreacts on the axion potential. The tree-level elimination of the radial field resums the…
In particle physics, as in many areas of science, parameter inference relies on simulations to bridge the gap between theory and experiment. Recent developments in simulation-based inference have boosted the sensitivity of analyses;…
We investigate the discovery prospects of a singly produced vector-like bottom quark in the Type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Model extended by an $SU(2)_L$ vector-like $(T,B)$ doublet. We focus on the non-standard decay chain $B \to \phi b$,…
We present an updated analysis of the angular distribution for $\psi(3686) \to p\bar{p}$ decay, taking into account transverse beam polarization, to investigate potential sources of forward-backward asymmetry and azimuthal modulation beyond…
We use a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) algorithm to solve the Schr\"odinger equation that describes $udsc\bar c$ pentaquarks within the framework of a non-relativistic constituent quark model. We considered only multiquark states with defined…
We present a unified desciption of the low-lying $1P$- and $2S$-wave nucleon resonance within the framework of an extended Lee-Friedrichs scheme. By incorporating the coupled-channel dynamics between bare quark-model states and the $\pi N$,…
We present a next-to-leading order QCD sum rule analysis of $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ light tetraquark states. By investigating various compact tetraquark and molecular configurations, we determine the mass spectrum of these states. Our calculations…
There are no weak scale triggers in the SMEFT up to dimension six that can solve the hierarchy problem far above the weak scale. Our arguments can be used to show that the same is true at dimension eight. Weak scale triggers are local…
PrecisionSM is an annotated database that compiles the available data on low-energy cross sections of electron-positron collisions into hadronic channels. This database organizes and collects data samples from $e^+e^-$ experiments, which…
