Vectorlike leptons are an intriguing possibility for physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk is concerned with the example of weak isosinglet vectorlike leptons that decay through a small mixing with the tau lepton, for which the discovery and exclusion reach of the Large Hadron Collider and future proposed hadron colliders is limited. For this minimal model, I will argue that an $e^+...
Kaon physics observables are among our most sensitive indirect probes of high-energy dynamics. I review recent progress in kaon physics, with a focus on CP violation and rare decays.
Pulsars are rotating neutron stars that emit beamed emission observed as periodic pulses on Earth. The practice of "pulsar timing" yields a wealth of uniquely powerful measurements across different astrophysical phenomena. Among these is the gradual detection of a stochastic background of gravitational waves (GWs) using a collection of pulsars rotating with millisecond spin periods. In my...
We present a state-of-the-art prediction for cross sections of neutrino deeply inelastic scattering (DIS) from nucleon at high neutrino energies, $E_\nu$, from 100 GeV to 1000 EeV ($10^{12}~\GeV$). Our calculations are based on the latest CT18 NNLO parton distribution functions (PDFs) and their associated uncertainties. In order to make predictions for the highest energies, we extrapolate the...
