Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Marcela Carena, Jonathan Kozaczuk, Zhen Liu, Tong Ou, Michael J. Ramsey-Musolf | Summary: An essential goal of the Higgs physics program at the LHC and beyond is to explore the nature of the Higgs potential and shed light on the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. An important […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Torsten Åkesson, Nikita Blinov, Lukas Brand-Baugher, Cameron Bravo, Lene Kristian Bryngemark | Summary: The constituents of dark matter are still unknown, and the viable possibilities span a vast range of masses. The physics community has established searching for sub-GeV dark matter as a high priority and identified […]

Kavli Affiliate: Scott P. Wakely | First 5 Authors: Colin B. Adams, Giovanni Ambrosi, Michelangelo Ambrosio, Carla Aramo, Timothy Arlen | Summary: The prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (pSCT) is a candidate for a medium-sized telescope in the Cherenkov Telescope Array. The pSCT is based on a novel dual mirror optics design which reduces the plate scale […]
Kavli Affiliate: W. L. Kimmy Wu | First 5 Authors: Ana Achúcarro, Matteo Biagetti, Matteo Braglia, Giovanni Cabass, Robert Caldwell | Summary: Cosmic inflation provides a window to the highest energy densities accessible in nature, far beyond those achievable in any realistic terrestrial experiment. Theoretical insights into the inflationary era and its observational probes may […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Daniel Green, Austin Joyce, Enrico Pajer, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: This white paper summarizes recent progress in the cosmological bootstrap, an approach to the study of the statistics of primordial fluctuations from consistency with unitarity, locality and symmetry assumptions. We review the key ideas […]
