    The COHERENT experiment consists of a suite of neutrino detectors located in a basement hallway at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In 2017 (and again in 2021) COHERENT reported the first (and second) observation of CEvNS. I will present the status of these measurements. COHERENT is in the process of deploying four new neutrino detectors to "neutrino alley",...

    The detection of coherent-neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) opens a new window to study the fundamental properties of neutrinos and to probe physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics. NUCLEUS is a novel cryogenic neutrino experiment at a nuclear power reactor which allows for precision measurements of CEvNS at unprecedentedly low energies. It is based on recently demonstrated...

    The $\nu$BDX-DRIFT experiment seeks to study CE$\nu$NS interactions and search for BSM physics using low-energy nuclear recoils at Fermilab, detailed in another talk at this conference. Background suppression is the key to the success of this endeavor. Using GENIE and Geant we have benchmarked our simulations to results from a preliminary COUPP run in the NuMI beam in 2009. Utilizing this...

    I show that a nonstandard cosmological history with a period of early matter domination driven by a sub-TeV visible-sector particle can arise rather naturally. This scenario involves a long-lived standard model singlet that acquires a thermal abundance at high temperatures from decays and inverse decays of a parent particle with SM charge(s), and subsequently dominates the energy density of...

    One signature of an expanding universe is the time-variation of the cosmological abundances of its different components. For example, a radiation-dominated universe inevitably gives way to a matter-dominated universe, and critical moments such as matter-radiation equality are fleeting. In this talk, we point out that this lore is not always correct, and that it is possible to obtain a form of...

    The dark matter sector is mysterious. One possible scenario is the dark matter sector is basically separated from the visible sector and is made up of its own particle spectrum similar to the standard model. Here, the concept of the portal between the dark sector and the visible sector is important to investigate the dark sector. We will talk about the dark axion portal, which connects some...

    Dark matter direct detection experiments have spurred interest in the Migdal effect, where it is employed to extend their sensitivity to lower dark matter masses. The calculation of the signal is subject to large theoretical uncertainties, therefore a calibration of the Migdal effect and the experimental response to a potential dark matter signal is needed. In this talk I'll show the results...

    Low mass fast moving/energetic dark matter (DM) is very well motivated and has been a subject of attention in the literature. These fast-moving particles can gain enough kinetic energy to pass the thresholds of some Large volume terrestrial detectors. For instance, fast-moving or "boosted" DM can account for the recent excess in electron recoil events observed by the XENON1T detector, due to...

    Axion-like-particles frequently appear in extensions of the Standard Model and could be a principal component of the dark matter in the universe. We review several astrophysical effects that could be due to inhomogeneous axion distributions.

    Dark matter is known to make up more than 75% of matters of the universe. However, its nature remains to be unveiled. Over the several decades, extensive studies have been done on the weak scale mass regime, but there have been no positive results thus far. This naturally led to an interest in the dark matter models in areas other than the weak scale.

    Recent discoveries of a new scalar boson, the gravitational wave and the black hole greatly advance our understanding of the nature of the universe. The 95% of the universe, however, is yet to be uncovered. Of these is the dark matter thought to make up about a quarter of the universe. Dark matter has been searched both directly and indirectly.

    We explore the effective field theory of a vector field X_mu that has a Stückelberg mass. The absence of a gauge symmetry for X implies Lorentz-invariant operators are constructed directly from X_mu. Beyond the kinetic and mass terms, allowed interactions at the renormalizable level include X^4, H^2 X^2 and X^mu j_mu, where j_mu is a global current of the SM or of a hidden sector. We show that...

    We point out that production of new bosons by charged meson decays can greatly enhance the sensitivity of beam-focused accelerator-based experiments to new physics signals. This enhancement arises since the charged mesons are focused and their three-body decays do not suffer from helicity suppression in the same way as their usual two-body decays. As a realistic application, we attempt to...

    Many extensions of the standard model (SM) predict the existence of weakly-coupled particles that have a long lifetime.

    In this talk, I introduce observables for identification of quantum interference effects in jets from the interference of gluon states with distinct color quantum numbers. These effects are exclusively beyond the leading-color approximation, and so can have important consequences for fixed-order predictions or parton shower modeling that includes full-color physics.

    The nature of dark matter (DM) — the cold, neutral entity comprising roughly 85% of all matter content in the universe — is one of the biggest open problems in modern astrophysics. One plausible class of candidate DM particles, from beyond the Standard Model of physics, are Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), ranging in masses between ~GeV to hundreds of TeV. Such DM particles may...
