Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier: Synergies between dark matter searches and multiwavelength/multimessenger astrophysics

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Shin’ichiro Ando, Sebastian Baum, Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Esra Bulbul, Michael Burgess | Summary: This whitepaper focuses on the astrophysical systematics which are encountered in dark matter searches. Oftentimes in indirect and also in direct dark matter searches, astrophysical systematics are a major limiting factor to sensitivity to dark […]

Theoretical developments in the SMEFT at dimension-8 and beyond

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia, Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Simone Alioli, Radja Boughezal, Weiguang Cao, Gauthier Durieux, Lukáš Gráf | Summary: In this contribution to the Snowmass 2021 process we review theoretical developments in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) with a focus on effects at the dimension-8 level and beyond. We review […]

Accurate non-empirical range-separated hybrid van der Waals density functional for complex molecular problems, solids, and surfaces

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Vivekanand Shukla, Yang Jiao, Jung-Hoon Lee, Elsebeth Schroder, Jeffrey B. Neaton | Summary: We introduce a new, general-purpose, range-separated hybrid van der Waals density ph{functional, termed vdW-DF-ahbr,} within the non-empirical vdW-DF method [JPCM 32, 393001 (2020)]. It combines correlation from vdW-DF2 with a screened Fock exchange […]

A second-generation range-separated hybrid van der Waals density functional

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Vivekanand Shukla, Yang Jiao, Jung-Hoon Lee, Elsebeth Schroder, Jeffrey B. Neaton | Summary: We define, test, and illustrate use of a range-separated (screened) hybrid, termed vdW-DF2-ahbr and abbreviated AHBR, that uses the second-generation nonlocal-correlation formulation [PRB {bf 82}, 081101(R) (2010)] within the van der Waals density […]

Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Ultraheavy particle dark matter

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | First 5 Authors: Daniel Carney, Nirmal Raj, Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, Carlos Blanco | Summary: We outline the unique opportunities and challenges in the search for "ultraheavy" dark matter candidates with masses between roughly $10~{rm TeV}$ and the Planck scale $m_{rm pl} approx 10^{16}~{rm TeV}$. This mass range presents a […]

Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Fundamental Physics and Beyond the Standard Model

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Emanuele Berti, Vitor Cardoso, Zoltán Haiman, Daniel E. Holz, Emil Mottola | Summary: Gravitational wave detectors are formidable tools to explore strong-field gravity, especially black holes and neutron stars. These compact objects are extraordinarily efficient at producing electromagnetic and gravitational radiation. As such, they are ideal […]
