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, […]
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 […]

When paired with a redshift measurement, this enables standard-siren cosmology: a Hubble diagram […]
Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, , , , | Summary: Cosmic structure on the largest scales preserves the pattern laid down by quantum fluctuations of gravity in the early universe on scales comparable to inflationary horizons. It is proposed here that fluctuations create physical correlations only within finite regions enclosed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael S. Turner | First 5 Authors: Michael S. Turner, , , , | Summary: The age of the Universe at a given redshift is a fundamental relationship in cosmology. For many years, the uncertainties in it were dauntingly large, close to a factor of 2. In this age of precision cosmology, they […]

Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Andrea Dei, Emil J. Martinec, , , | Summary: Worldsheet string theory is solvable for a variety of backgrounds involving Neveu-Schwarz fivebranes, in terms of gauged nonlinear sigma models on group manifolds. We compute the worldsheet torus partition function of these models, and propose gauging of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb, Evan McDonough, | Summary: We demonstrate that gravitational particle production (GPP) of a massive, Abelian, vector (Proca) field during inflation in the presence of nonminimal coupling to gravity may suffer from an instability which leads to runaway production of […]
