abstract
I discuss some simple aspects of the low-energy physics of a nontrivial scale invariant sector of an effective field theory -- physics that cannot be described in terms of particles. I argue that it is important to take seriously the possibility that the unparticle stuff described by such a theory might actually exist in our world. I suggest a scenario in which some details of the production of unparticle stuff can be calculated. I find that in the appropriate low energy limit, unparticle stuff with scale dimension $d_{\mathcal{U}}$ looks like a non-integral number $d_{\mathcal{U}}$ of invisible particles. Thus dramatic evidence for a nontrivial scale invariant sector could show up experimentally in missing energy distributions.

Decoherence in scale-invariant environments is uniquely equivalent to an unparticle bath characterized by scaling dimension d_U, which fixes all exponents via consistency relations and predicts a coherence-protection transition at d_U = 5/2.
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.
Radiative corrections pull an isolated, long-lived massive graviton out of the gapped linear-dilaton continuum, giving a sub-MeV dark-matter candidate that can coexist with a holographic fluid component.
Partial compositeness with inverse seesaw yields neutrino dipole moments of 10^{-6} to 10^{-8} GeV^{-1} and predicts single- and multi-photon radiative signals at MiniBooNE and MINERvA.
Scale-invariant open quantum systems are universally described by unparticle baths with scaling dimension d_U, producing non-Markovian kernels, a fractional Caldeira-Leggett master equation, and phase transitions at d_U = 3/2, 2, and 5/2.
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.
Leading-order predictions for three-body point production rates of B and B* meson systems are derived in short-range NREFT from two-body input alone.
