The role of the pion in the lineshape of the X(3872)

Riccardo Rattazzi, Angelo Esposito, Alfredo Glioti

We determine the contribution of long-range pion interactions to the X(3872) dynamics, assuming it is a loosely bound D-0(D) over bar*(0) molecule. Our result is based on the distorted wave Born approximation in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Despite ...

From the line shape of the X(3872) to its structure

Angelo Esposito

From a study of the line shape of the X(3872), the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow D (D) over bar* bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion, together with ...

Gapped Goldstones at the cut-off scale: a non-relativistic EFT

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alexander Monin, Angelo Esposito, Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

At finite density, the spontaneous breakdown of an internal non-Abelian symmetry dictates, along with gapless modes, modes whose gap is fixed by the algebra and proportional to the chemical potential: the gapped Goldstones. Generically the gap of these sta ...

Hunting for tetraquarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Angelo Esposito, Claudio Andrea Manzari

Ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for fourquark states produced by photon-photon fu ...

The nature of X(3872) from high-multiplicity pp collisions

Angelo Esposito

The structure of exotic resonances that do not trivially fit the usual quark model expectations has been a matter of intense scientific debate during the last two decades. A possible way of estimating the size of these states is to study their behavior whe ...

Directional detection of light dark matter from three-phonon events in superfluid He-4

Angelo Esposito

We present the analysis of a new signature for light dark matter detection with superfluid He-4: the emission of three phonons. We show that, in a region of mass below the MeV, the kinematics of this process can offer a way to reconstruct the dark matter i ...

Solidity without inhomogeneity: perfectly homogeneous, weakly coupled, UV-complete solids

Angelo Esposito

Solid-like behavior at low energies and long distances is usually associated with the spontaneous breaking of spatial translations at microscopic scales, as in the case of a lattice of atoms. We exhibit three quantum field theories that are renormalizable, ...

Dark matter, dark photon and superfluid He-4 from effective field theory

Angelo Esposito, Emma Michèle Ginette Geoffray

We consider a model of sub-GeV dark matter whose interaction with the Standard Model is mediated by a new vector boson (the dark photon) which couples kinetically to the photon. We describe the possibility of constraining such a model using a superfluid He ...

Light Dark Matter and Superfluid He-4 from EFT

Angelo Esposito

We study the response of a He-4 detector to the interaction of sub-GeV dark matter using an effective field theory for the superfluid. We compute the lifetime of the phonon, which agrees with what known from standard techniques, hence providing an importan ...

Effective field theory for acoustic and pseudoacoustic phonons in solids

Angelo Esposito, Emma Michèle Ginette Geoffray

We present a relativistic effective field theory for the interaction between acoustic and gapped phonons in the limit of a small gap. We show that, while the former are the Goldstone modes associated with the spontaneous breaking of spacetime symmetries, t ...
