52. Exceptional Unification

Kaladi Babu, Ks Babu (Oklahoma State University)

5/16/25, 9:00 AM

Realistic grand unified theories based on the exceptional group $E_6$ will be presented and their phenomenological implications explored. These include fermion masses, neutrino oscillations, proton decay and a GUT-stabilized dark matter candidate.

53. Searches for heavy objects with ATLAS and CMS

Saptaparna Bhattacharya (Southern Methodist University (US))

5/16/25, 9:23 AM

38. Non-thermal Dark Matter in First-Order Phase Transitions

Peisi Huang, Peisi Huang

5/16/25, 9:46 AM

We propose a novel scenario to obtain the correct relic abundance for thermally under-produced dark matter. This scenario utilizes a strongly first-order phase transition that gives rise to dark matter mass m. Freeze-out in the broken phase can yield the desired abundance in the entire region currently allowed by observational bounds and theoretical constraints. We show that the accompanying...

55. Searches via effective filed theory with ATLAS and CMS

Kenichi Hatakeyama (Baylor University (US))
