Unificaxion

Riccardo Rattazzi

Dark matter, gauge coupling unification, and the strong CP problem find a common and simple solution (in the absence of naturalness) within axion models. We show that such a solution, even without specifying the details of the model implementation, makes t ...

Quantum leptogenesis I

Marco Drewes

Thermal leptogenesis explains the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe in terms of neutrino masses, consistent with neutrino oscillation experiments. We present a full quantum mechanical calculation of the generated lepton asymmetry based o ...

Baryon asymmetry of the Universe without Boltzmann or Kadanoff-Baym equations

Jean-Sébastien Gagnon

We present a formalism that allows the computation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, from the first principles of statistical physics and quantum field theory, that is applicable to certain types of physics beyond the standard model (such as the neu ...

Magnetic fields at first order phase transition: a threat to electroweak baryogenesis

Andrea De Simone

The generation of the observed baryon asymmetry may have taken place during the electroweak phase transition, thus involving physics testable at LHC, a scenario dubbed electroweak baryogenesis. In this paper we point out that the magnetic field which is pr ...

Initial state radiation in Majorana Dark Matter annihilations

Andrea De Simone

The cross section for a Majorana Dark Matter particle annihilating into light fermions is helicity suppressed. We show that, if the Dark Matter is the neutral Majorana component of a multiplet which is charged under the electroweak interactions of the Stan ...

Massive pions, anomalies and baryons in holographic QCD

Andrea Wulzer

We consider a holographic model of QCD, obtained by a very simple modification of the original construction, which describes at the same time the pion mass, the QCD anomalies and the baryons as topological solitons. We study in detail its phenomenological ...

Can CoGeNT and DAMA modulations be due to Dark Matter?

Duccio Pappadopulo

We explore the dark matter interpretation of the anomalies claimed by the DAMA and COGENT experiments, in conjunction with the various null direct-detection experiments. An independent analysis of the COGENT data is employed and several experimental and as ...

T-parity, its problems and their solution

Alessandro Vichi, Duccio Pappadopulo

We point out a basic difficulty in the construction of little-Higgs models with T-parity which is overlooked by large part of the present literature. Almost all models proposed so far fail to achieve their goal: they either suffer from sizable electroweak ...

Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe in the NuMSM

Laurent Canetti

We perform a detailed analysis of baryon asymmetry generation in the NuMSM (an extension of the Standard Model by three singlet Majorana fermions with masses below the Fermi scale). Fixing a number of parameters of the NuMSM by the neutrino oscillation dat ...
