Confronting SO(10) GUTs with proton decay and gravitational waves (2021)
Journal Article
King, S. F., Pascoli, S., Zhou, Y.-L., & Turner, J. (2021). Confronting SO(10) GUTs with proton decay and gravitational waves. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(10), Article 225 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep10%282021%29225

Grand Unified Theories (GUT) predict proton decay as well as the formation of cosmic strings which can generate gravitational waves. We determine which non-supersymmetric SO(10) breaking chains provide gauge unification in addition to a gravitational...

An optimal non-linear method for simulating relic neutrinos (2021)
Journal Article
Elbers, W., Frenk, C. S., Jenkins, A., Li, B., & Pascoli, S. (2021). An optimal non-linear method for simulating relic neutrinos. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 507(2), 2614-2631. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2260

Cosmology places the strongest current limits on the sum of neutrino masses. Future observations will further improve the sensitivity and this will require accurate cosmological simulations to quantify possible systematic uncertainties and to make pr...

Discovery potential of FASERν with contained vertex and through-going events (2021)
Journal Article
Bakhti, P., Farzan, Y., & Pascoli, S. (2021). Discovery potential of FASERν with contained vertex and through-going events. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(4), Article 75. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep04%282021%29075

FASERν is a newly proposed detector whose main mission is to detect the neutrino flux from the collision of the proton beams at the ATLAS Interaction Point (IP) during the run III of the LHC in 2022–2024. We show that this detector can also test cert... Read More about Discovery potential of FASERν with contained vertex and through-going events.

Gravitational Waves and Proton Decay: Complementary Windows into Grand Unified Theories (2021)
Journal Article
King, S. F., Pascoli, S., Turner, J., & Zhou, Y.-L. (2021). Gravitational Waves and Proton Decay: Complementary Windows into Grand Unified Theories. Physical Review Letters, 126(2), Article 021802. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.126.021802

Proton decay is a smoking gun signature of grand unified theories (GUTs). Searches by Super-Kamiokande have resulted in stringent limits on the GUT symmetry-breaking scale. The large-scale multipurpose neutrino experiments DUNE, Hyper-Kamiokande, and... Read More about Gravitational Waves and Proton Decay: Complementary Windows into Grand Unified Theories.
