14. Constraints on Baryon Number Violation from Neutron Stars to the Lab

Adrian Thompson

5/25/24, 9:00 AM

In this work, we explore baryon number violating interactions (BNV) within a specific model framework involving a charged iso-singlet, color-triplet scalar and a Majorana fermion with interactions in the quark sector. This model has been useful for explaining baryogenesis, neutron-antineutron oscillations, and other puzzles such as the DM-baryon coincidence puzzle. We revisit this model, with...

54. Direct Collapse Black Holes from Dark Matter Annihilation

Prof. Flip Tanedo (UC Riverside)

5/25/24, 9:50 AM

Pre-stellar galactic halos are highly sensitive to soft radiation: the presence of sources of O(10 eV) Lyman-Werner radiation changes the gas chemistry and prevent the standard fragmentation of the gas. Rather than producing Population III stars, this may instead lead to direct collapse black holes. Observations of supermassive black holes at high redshift have long been suspected to be...
