Prospects of light sterile neutrino oscillation and CP violation searches at the Fermilab Short Baseline Neutrino Facility (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate the ability of the short baseline neutrino (SBN) experimental program at Fermilab to test the globally-allowed (3 þ N) sterile neutrino oscillation parameter space. We explicitly consider the globally-allowed parameter space for the (3...

NLO QCD+EW predictions for HV and HV +jet production including parton-shower effects (2017)
Journal Article

We present the first NLO QCD+EW predictions for Higgs boson production in association with a ℓνℓ or ℓ+ℓ− pair plus zero or one jets at the LHC. Fixed-order NLO QCD+EW calculations are combined with a QCD+QED parton shower using the recently developed...

Energy loss due to defect formation from 206Pb recoils in SuperCDMS germanium detectors (2018)
Journal Article

The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ 210Pb sources. We examine the spectrum of 206Pb nuclear... Read More about Energy loss due to defect formation from 206Pb recoils in SuperCDMS germanium detectors.

Sensitivities and synergies of DUNE and T2HK (2017)
Journal Article

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, in particular the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and Tokai to Hyper-Kamiokande (T2HK), will lead the effort in the precision determination of the as yet unknown parameters of the leptonic m...

Next-to-leading orderγγ+2−jetproduction at the LHC (2014)
Journal Article

We present next-to-leading-order QCD predictions for cross sections and for a comprehensive set of distributions in γγ þ 2-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider. We consider the contributions from loop amplitudes for two photons and four gluons... Read More about Next-to-leading orderγγ+2−jetproduction at the LHC.

Bulk entanglement entropy in perturbative excited states (2018)
Journal Article

We compute the bulk entanglement entropy across the Ryu-Takayanagi surface for a oneparticle state in a scalar field theory in AdS3. We work directly within the bulk Hilbert space and include the spatial spread of the scalar wavefunction. We give clo... Read More about Bulk entanglement entropy in perturbative excited states.

NNLO QCD corrections to event orientation in e+e- annihilation (2017)
Journal Article

We present a new implementation of the NNLO QCD corrections to three-jet final states and related event-shape observables in electron–positron annihilation. Our implementation is based on the antenna subtraction method, and is performed in the NNLOje... Read More about NNLO QCD corrections to event orientation in e+e- annihilation.

The Correlahedron (2017)
Journal Article

We introduce a new geometric object, the correlahedron, which we conjecture to be equivalent to stress-energy correlators in planar N=4N=4 super Yang-Mills. Re-expressing the Grassmann dependence of correlation functions of n chiral stress-energy mul... Read More about The Correlahedron.

The hierarchion, a relaxion addressing the Standard Model’s hierarchies (2018)
Journal Article

We present a mechanism that addresses the electroweak, the strong CP, and the flavor hierarchies of the Standard Model (including neutrino masses) in a unified way. The naturalness of the electroweak scale is solved together with the strong CP proble... Read More about The hierarchion, a relaxion addressing the Standard Model’s hierarchies.

Complexity in de Sitter space (2017)
Journal Article

We consider the holographic complexity conjectures for de-Sitter invariant states in a quantum field theory on de Sitter space, dual to asymptotically anti-de Sitter geometries with de Sitter boundaries. The bulk holographic duals include solutions w... Read More about Complexity in de Sitter space.

Quantum Gravity from Conformal Field Theory (2018)
Journal Article

We bootstrap loop corrections to AdS5 supergravity amplitudes by enforcing the consistency of the known classical results with the operator product expansion of NN = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. In particular this yields much new information on the spe... Read More about Quantum Gravity from Conformal Field Theory.

From 4d ambitwistor strings to on shell diagrams and back (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate the relation between 4d ambitwistor string theory and on-shell diagrams for planar N = 4 super-Yang-Mills and N = 8 supergravity, and deduce several new results about their scattering amplitudes at tree-level and 1-loop. In particular,... Read More about From 4d ambitwistor strings to on shell diagrams and back.

Invisible decays in Higgs boson pair production (2017)
Journal Article

Observation of Higgs pair production is an important long term objective of the LHC physics program as it will shed light on the scalar potential of the Higgs field and the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking. While numerous studies have examined... Read More about Invisible decays in Higgs boson pair production.

Simplified models for dark matter face their consistent completions (2017)
Journal Article

Simplified dark matter models have been recently advocated as a powerful tool to exploit the complementarity between dark matter direct detection, indirect detection and LHC experimental probes. Focusing on pseudoscalar mediators between the dark and... Read More about Simplified models for dark matter face their consistent completions.

Boomerang RG flows in M-theory with intermediate scaling (2017)
Journal Article

We construct novel RG flows of D=11 supergravity that asymptotically approach AdS4 × S7 in the UV with deformations that break spatial translations in the dual field theory. In the IR the solutions return to exactly the same AdS4 × S7 vacuum, with a... Read More about Boomerang RG flows in M-theory with intermediate scaling.
