7. Ultra-Light Pion (ULP) and Baryon WIMPzilla Dark Matter

Abstract

We consider a dark confining gauge theory with millicharged Ultra-Light Pions (ULP) and heavy baryons as dark matter candidates. The model simultaneously realizes the ultra-light (STrongly-interacting Ultralight Millicharged Particle or "STUMP") and superheavy ("WIMPzilla") dark matter paradigms, connected by the confinement scale of the dark QCD. It is a realization of millicharged ULDM, very unlike conventional axions, and exhibits a mass splitting between the charged and neutral pions. ULPs can easily provide the observed density of the dark matter, and be cosmologically stable, for a broad range of dark QCD scales and quark masses. The dark baryons, produced via gravitational particle production or via freeze-in, provide an additional contribution to the dark matter density. Dark matter halos and boson stars in this context are generically an admixture of the three pions and heavy baryons, leading to a diversity of density profiles. That opens up the accessible parameter space of the model compared with the standard millicharged DM scenarios and can be probed by future experiments. We briefly discuss additional interesting phenomenology, such as ULP electrodynamics, and Cosmic ULP Backgrounds.

9. SU(2)$_R$ and its Axion in Cosmology: A common Origin for Inflation, Cold Sterile Neutrinos, and Baryogenesis

Abstract

We introduce an axion-inflation model embedded in the Left-Right symmetric extension of the SM in which $W_R$ is coupled to the axion. This model merges three milestones of modern cosmology, i.e., inflation, cold dark matter, and baryon asymmetry. Thus, it can naturally explain the observed coincidences among cosmological parameters, i.e., $\eta_{B}\approx P_{\zeta}$ and $\Omega_{DM} \simeq 5~\Omega_{B}$. The source of asymmetry is spontaneous CP violation in the physics of inflation, and the lightest right-handed neutrino is the cold dark matter candidate with mass $m_{N_1}\sim 1~GeV$. The introduced mechanism does not rely on the largeness of the unconstrained CP-violating phases in the neutrino sector nor fine-tuned masses for the heaviest right-handed neutrinos. It has two unknown fundamental scales, i.e. scale of inflation $\Lambda_{\rm inf}=\sqrt{HM_{Pl}}$ and left-right symmetry breaking $\Lambda_{F}$. Sufficient matter asymmetry demands $\Lambda_{\rm inf}\approx\Lambda_{F}$. The baryon asymmetry and dark matter today are remnants of a pure quantum effect (chiral anomaly) in inflation, which, thanks to flavor effects, are memorized by cosmic evolution., Comment: 5+5 pages, 7 Figures

10. Production and Backreaction of Fermions from Axion-$SU(2)$ Gauge Fields during Inflation

Abstract

$SU(2)$ gauge fields and axions can have a stable, isotropic and homogeneous configuration during inflation. However, couplings to other matter species lead to particle production, which in turn induces backreaction on and destabilization of the non-abelian and axion background. In this paper, we first study the particle production by a $SU(2)$ gauge field coupled to a massive Dirac doublet. To carry out this calculation we have made two technical improvements compared to what has been done in the literature. First, we apply the anti-symmetrization of the operators to treat particles and anti-particles on equal footing, second, to deal with the UV divergences, we apply instantaneous subtraction. We find that, the backreaction of produced fermions on the $SU(2)$ background is negligible for model parameters of observational interest. Next, we consider production of fermions due to coupling to the axion. The tree-level backreaction on the gauge fields, as well as on the axion, is vanishingly small. We also provide an estimate for the loop effects., Matches version accepted for publication in PRD

11. Chiral anomaly in SU(2)R-axion inflation and the new prediction for particle cosmology.

Author

Maleknejad, Azadeh

Abstract

Upon embedding the axion-inflation in the minimal left-right symmetric gauge extension of the SM with gauge group SU(2)L × SU(2)R × U(1)B−L, [1] proposed a new particle physics model for inflation. In this work, we present a more detailed analysis. As a compelling consequence, this setup provides a new mechanism for simultaneous baryogenesis and right-handed neutrino creation by the chiral anomaly of WR in inflation. The lightest right-handed neutrino is the dark matter candidate. This setup has two unknown fundamental scales, i.e., the scale of inflation and left-right symmetry breaking SU(2)R × U(1)B−L→ U(1)Y. Sufficient matter creation demands the left-right symmetry breaking scale happens shortly after the end of inflation. Interestingly, it prefers left-right symmetry breaking scales above 1010 GeV, which is in the range suggested by the non-supersymmetric SO(10) Grand Unified Theory with an intermediate left-right symmetry scale. Although WR gauge field generates equal amounts of right-handed baryons and leptons in inflation, i.e. B − L = 0, in the Standard Model sub-sector B − LSM ≠ 0. A key aspect of this setup is that SU(2)R sphalerons are never in equilibrium, and the primordial B − LSM is conserved by the Standard Model interactions. This setup yields a deep connection between CP violation in physics of inflation and matter creation (visible and dark); hence it can naturally explain the observed coincidences among cosmological parameters, i.e., ηB ≃ 0.3Pζ and ΩDM ≃ 5ΩB. The new mechanism does not rely on the largeness of the unconstrained CP-violating phases in the neutrino sector nor fine-tuned masses for the heaviest right-handed neutrinos. The SU(2)R-axion inflation comes with a cosmological smoking gun; chiral, non-Gaussian, and blue-tilted gravitational wave background, which can be probed by future CMB missions and laser interferometer detectors.

Abstract

Deformation of single stranded DNA in translocation process before reaching the pore is investigated. By solving the Laplace equation in a suitable coordinate system and with appropriate boundary conditions, an approximate solution for the electric field inside and outside of a narrow pore is obtained. With an analysis based on "electrohydrodynamic equivalence" we determine the possibility of extension of a charged polymer due to the presence of an electric field gradient in the vicinity of the pore entrance. With a multi-scale hybrid simulation (LB-MD), it is shown that an effective deformation before reaching the pore occurs which facilitates the process of finding the entrance for the end monomers. We also highlight the role of long range hydrodynamic interactions via comparison of the LB-MD results with those obtained using a Langevin thermostat instead of the LB solver., to appear in softmatter

Abstract

We present a leptogenesis scenario associated with inflationary models involving non-Abelian gauge fields within the standard model (SM) of particle physics. We show that this class of inflationary models generates intrinsic birefringent gravitational waves that following Alexander, Peskin, and Sheikh-Jabbari [Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 081301 (2006)], through the gravitational chiral anomaly in the SM, can naturally create a net lepton number density. The CP-violating interaction is produced by tensor fluctuations of the gauge field, while the efficiency of this process is determined by the effective background value of the gauge field. We demonstrate that this mechanism can create the observed value of baryon to photon number density in a natural range of parameters of these models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We present an exhaustive analysis on the background inflationary solutions of the chromo-natural model. We show that starting from an arbitrary axion field value xo ε (0, f π), it is possible to have slowroll inflation with enough number of e-folds and determine the allowed region of the parameters corresponding to each xo value. Having the available parameter space, we then study the behavior of the solutions with respect to the initial value of the axion field [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
