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.

Energy correlators can convert scaling violations into angular bump hunting for new physics, yielding projected competitive LHC sensitivity for a light hadrophilic Z'.
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.
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.
Neutrinos disintegrate into dark jets in a composite sterile sector, producing enhanced neutral-to-charged current ratios and displaced vertices that probe compositeness scales at facilities like DUNE and FCC-ee.
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.
CMS implements and deploys a dedicated high-multiplicity trigger targeting displaced LLP decays in the muon system for Run 3 data taking.
Astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter halo models produce O(1% to 100%) fractional deviations in predicted single-phonon rates, but can be captured by parameter variations within the Standard Halo Model after rms-matching.
No significant excess observed in search for SUEP signatures with muons; exclusion limits set on mediator cross section times branching fraction down to 0.05 fb at 750 GeV.
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 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.
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.
Density-of-states lattice study of the first-order phase transition in Sp(4) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature, confirming metastability and surface tension for two temporal extents toward the continuum limit.
Recast LHC searches yield a ~1.2 TeV lower bound on long-lived charged dark mesons and show that anomaly-driven diboson resonances can reconstruct UV parameters like dark flavor and color numbers from IR measurements.
Neural-network regression reconstructs the semi-visible-jet invisible fraction r_inv more precisely than prior analytical methods in ISR-boosted photon-associated events.
Search for H->aa->4tau (4<m_a<15 GeV) with boosted di-tau reconstruction finds no excess and sets 95% CL upper limits of 0.03-0.10 on (sigma_H/sigma_SM)*BR(H->aa->4tau).
