Completely Dark Photons from Gravitational Particle Production During Inflation

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, , , | Summary: Starting with the de Broglie–Proca Lagrangian for a massive vector field, we calculate the number density of particles resulting from gravitational particle production (GPP) during inflation, with detailed consideration to the evolution of the number density […]

Sign of hard X-ray pulsation from the gamma-ray binary system LS 5039

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hiroki Yoneda, Kazuo Makishima, Teruaki Enoto, Dmitry Khangulyan, Takahiro Matsumoto | Summary: To understand the nature of the brightest gamma-ray binary system LS 5039, hard X-ray data of the object, taken with the Suzaku and NuSTAR observatories in 2007 and 2016, respectively, were analyzed. The two data […]

2, 12, 117, 1959, 45171, 1170086, …: A Hilbert series for the QCD chiral Lagrangian

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | First 5 Authors: Lukas Graf, Brian Henning, Xiaochuan Lu, Tom Melia, Hitoshi Murayama | Summary: We apply Hilbert series techniques to the enumeration of operators in the mesonic QCD chiral Lagrangian. Existing Hilbert series technologies for non-linear realizations are extended to incorporate the external fields. The action of charge conjugation […]

Dark Matter Density Profiles in Dwarf Galaxies: Linking Jeans Modeling Systematics and Observation

Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Laura J. Chang, Lina Necib, , , | Summary: The distribution of dark matter in dwarf galaxies can have important implications on our understanding of galaxy formation as well as the particle physics properties of dark matter. However, accurately characterizing the dark matter content of dwarf galaxies […]

Multi-field dark energy: cosmic acceleration on a steep potential

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Yashar Akrami, Misao Sasaki, Adam R. Solomon, Valeri Vardanyan, | Summary: We argue that dark energy with multiple fields is theoretically well-motivated and predicts distinct observational signatures, in particular when cosmic acceleration takes place along a trajectory that is highly non-geodesic in field space. Such models provide […]
