abstract

We consider examples of ``hidden-valley'' models, in which a new confining gauge group is added to the standard model. Such models often arise in string constructions, and elsewhere. The resulting (electrically-neutral) bound states can have low masses and long lifetimes, and could be observed at the LHC and Tevatron. Production multiplicities are often large. Final states with heavy flavor are common; lepton pairs, displaced vertices and/or missing energy are possible. Accounting for LEP constraints, we find LHC production cross-sections typically in the 1-100 fb range, though they can be larger. It is possible the Higgs boson could be discovered at the Tevatron through rare decays to the new particles.

Bump Hunting Inside Jets with Energy Correlators

hep-ph · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Energy correlators can convert scaling violations into angular bump hunting for new physics, yielding projected competitive LHC sensitivity for a light hadrophilic Z'.

Strongly Coupled Sectors in Inflation: Gapless Theories and Unparticles

hep-th · 2025-03-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Computes inflationary bispectra and trispectra from tree-level unparticle exchanges using Mellin-Barnes methods and symmetry-based differential equations, revealing that full shapes are needed to distinguish unparticles from light particles.

Decaying spin-3/2 dark matter from baryon number violation

hep-ph · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Non-supersymmetric spin-3/2 dark matter with baryon-violating portals can explain the relic abundance through UV and Boltzmann-suppressed freeze-in, with viable parameter space constrained by indirect detection, direct detection, and LHC monojet searches.

Dark Matter on a Slide

hep-ph · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Dark pions stabilized by U(1) flavor symmetry in an SU(3)/SO(3) dark sector obtain the correct thermal relic density through up-scatterings to heavier mesons and dark eta decays, producing LHC signals from long-lived particle showers.

The structure of multi-axion solutions to the strong CP problem

hep-ph · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Multi-axion solutions to the strong CP problem produce varied mass-coupling patterns set by PQ symmetry breaking structure and QCD-EM anomaly alignment, summarized by a general sum rule for N-axion systems.

Asymmetric Reheating of Dark QED

hep-ph · 2026-05-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Asymmetric reheating in Dark QED produces dark matter via a new channel where DM particles annihilate while still being created by inflaton decay, with the hidden-to-visible temperature ratio tied to the square root of the Yukawa coupling ratio.

Kinematic Flow for Banana Loops and Unparticles

hep-th · 2026-04-24 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Banana loop cosmological correlators are captured by master integrals from tubings of marked graphs, with connection matrices derived from activation, merger, swap, and copy rules unique to unparticle exchanges.
