W+W− H production at lepton colliders: a new hope for heavy neutral leptons (2018)
Journal Article
Baglio, J., Pascoli, S., & Weiland, C. (2018). W+W− H production at lepton colliders: a new hope for heavy neutral leptons. The European Physical Journal C, 78(10), Article 795. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6279-x

We present the first study of the production of a Standard Model Higgs boson at a lepton collider in association with a pair of W bosons, e+e− → W+W− H, in the inverse seesaw model. Taking into account all relevant experimental and theoretical constr... Read More about W+W− H production at lepton colliders: a new hope for heavy neutral leptons.

Safe jet vetoes (2018)
Journal Article
Pascoli, S., Ruiz, R., & Weiland, C. (2018). Safe jet vetoes. Physics Letters B, 786, 106-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2018.08.060

Central jet vetoes are powerful tools for reducing QCD background in measurements and searches for electroweak and colorless, new physics processes in hadron collisions. In this letter, we report the key findings of a new philosophy to designing sear... Read More about Safe jet vetoes.

Three-flavored nonresonant leptogenesis at intermediate scales (2018)
Journal Article
Moffat, K., Pascoli, S., Petcov, S., Schulz, H., & Turner, J. (2018). Three-flavored nonresonant leptogenesis at intermediate scales. Physical Review D, 98(1), Article 015036. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.98.015036

Leptogenesis can successfully explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry via out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos in the early Universe. In this article, we focus on nonresonant thermal leptogenesis and the possibility of lowering its s... Read More about Three-flavored nonresonant leptogenesis at intermediate scales.

Dark matter-neutrino interactions through the lens of their cosmological implications (2018)
Journal Article
Olivares-Del Campo, A., Bœhm, C., Palomares-Ruiz, S., & Pascoli, S. (2018). Dark matter-neutrino interactions through the lens of their cosmological implications. Physical Review D, 97(7), Article 075039. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.97.075039

Dark matter and neutrinos provide the two most compelling pieces of evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, but they are often treated as two different sectors. The aim of this paper is to determine whether there are v... Read More about Dark matter-neutrino interactions through the lens of their cosmological implications.

A new smooth-k space filter approach to calculate halo abundances (2018)
Journal Article
Leo, M., Baugh, C. M., Li, B., & Pascoli, S. (2018). A new smooth-k space filter approach to calculate halo abundances. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2018(04), Article 010. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2018/04/010

We propose a new filter, a smooth-k space filter, to use in the Press-Schechter approach to model the dark matter halo mass function which overcomes shortcomings of other filters. We test this against the mass function measured in N-body simulations.... Read More about A new smooth-k space filter approach to calculate halo abundances.

Baryogenesis via leptonic CP-violating phase transition (2018)
Journal Article
Pascoli, S., Turner, J., & Zhou, Y. (2018). Baryogenesis via leptonic CP-violating phase transition. Physics Letters B, 780, 313-318. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2018.03.011

We propose a new mechanism to generate a lepton asymmetry based on the vacuum CP-violating phase transition (CPPT). This approach differs from classical thermal leptogenesis as a specific seesaw model, and its UV completion, need not be specified. Th...
