Improved Thermal Resummation for Multi-Field Potentials

Kavli Affiliate: Marcela Carena | First 5 Authors: Henning Bahl, Marcela Carena, Aurora Ireland, Carlos E. M. Wagner, | Summary: The resummation of large thermal corrections to the effective potential is mandatory for the accurate prediction of phase transitions. We discuss the accuracy of different prescriptions to perform this resummation at the one- and two-loop […]

Inferring dark matter subhalo properties from simulated subhalo-stream encounters

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Tariq Hilmi, Denis Erkal, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li, Sophia Lilleengen | Summary: In the cold dark matter paradigm, our Galaxy is predicted to contain >10000 dark matter subhaloes in the $10^5-10^8M_odot$ range which should be completely devoid of stars. Stellar streams are sensitive to […]

Hitting the Thermal Target for Leptophilic Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Cari Cesarotti, Gordan Krnjaic, , , | Summary: We study future lepton collider prospects for testing predictive models of leptophilic dark matter candidates with a thermal origin. We calculate experimental milestones for testing the parameter space compatible with freeze-out and the associated collider signals at past, present, […]

No need to know: astrophysics-free gravitational-wave cosmology

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Amanda M. Farah, Thomas A. Callister, Jose María Ezquiaga, Michael Zevin, Daniel E. Holz | Summary: Gravitational waves from merging compact objects encode direct information about the luminosity distance to the binary. When paired with a redshift measurement, this enables standard-siren cosmology: a Hubble diagram can […]
