Author(s): Gang Li, Chuan-Qiang Song, Feng-Jie Tang, and Jiang-Hao Yu Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering provides crucial information for precision studies of neutrinos as well as searches for dark matter and other new physics. This paper develops a comprehensive Effective Field Theory treatment up to dimension eight which can account for new physics effects from energies above 100 GeV down to nuclear scales in a consistent manner. The...

Author(s): Miguel Zumalacárregui and Xikai Shan Gravitational waves lensed by galaxies and clusters can also be diffracted by the stars and compact remnants embedded within them, leaving frequency-dependent signatures in the observed signal that are computationally expensive to model. This paper introduces Reduced-Order Stochastic Diffraction, an efficient framework for modeling these complex microlensing effects with a computationally inexpensive...

Author(s): Peisi Huang, Anibal D. Medina, and Carlos E. M. Wagner This paper studies dark matter in a spontaneously broken hidden U(1). The initial overabundant dark matter density is generated through the freeze-out mechanism. Because the subsequent first order phase transition becomes supercooled, the vacuum transition generates entropy, diluting the DM density to its current value. The MeV–GeV transition also produces nano-Hz gravitational...

Author(s): Luis Villarin and Ian Vega Rotating black holes are thought to drive some of the Universe’s most powerful outflows. A new analytic model finds that the energy carried away from a slowly rotating black hole is set mainly by its spin and magnetic flux at the horizon rather than the details of the surrounding accretion disk.

Author(s): Alessandro Conigli, Dalibor Djukanovic, Georg von Hippel, Simon Kuberski, Harvey B. Meyer, Kohtaroh Miura, Konstantin Ottnad, Andreas Risch, and Hartmut Wittig We present an update of our lattice QCD determination of the hadronic contribution to the running of the electromagnetic coupling, $\mathrm{Δ}{α}_{\mathrm{had}}^{(5)}(−{Q}^{2})$, and of the electroweak mixing angle in the spacelike momentum region up to ${Q}^{2}=12\text{ }\text...

Author(s): W. Matava and M. R. Williams Advanced cryogenic detectors, e.g. qubit-based sensors or Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs), often offer resolutions larger than a single detected photon’s energy. The authors demonstrate that commonly used statistical methods for calibration of such detectors can introduce systematic biases, leading to inaccurate energy scale and resolution measurements. This stems from an assumption of independence between...

Author(s): Florian Gaar, Jerome P. Gauntlett, Jaeha Park, and James Sparks Computing the exact (all corrections included) on-shell action for black holes remains an outstanding problem. Working within the framework of AdS/CFT and using a powerful technique, equivariant localization, the authors evaluate the on-shell action for D=5 AdS rotating, charged black holes when higher-derivative quantum corrections are turned on. They also find a precise...
