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 […]
