Atomic effects relevant in the scattering of high energy leptons (e.g., neutrinos or muons) off atomic electrons

• Mark Wise

I discuss the scattering of high energy leptons off atomic electrons. The focus of the talk is on how the cross section for this process differs from the scattering off free electrons. This involves, atomic binding corrections, Coulomb exchanges between the outgoing energetic struck electron with the remaining atomic debris and other effects. This is not beyond the standard model (BSM) physics, but the results may be relevant for experiments that constrain possible BSM physics.

Baryogenesis with only the Standard Model CP violation

• Gilly Elor

Mesogenesis with a Morphing Mediator (3M) is a new proposal for baryogenesis and dark matter production in which, contrary to common lore, the Standard Model CP violation is sufficient to generate the entire primordial asymmetry of matter over antimatter. Furthermore, the dark sector dynamics of this mechanism produce gravitational waves that can be probed with current and future Pulsar Timing Arrays. 3M-baryogenesis is based on Mesogenesis mechanisms which leverage the CP violation in charged or neutral Standard Model meson systems. I will first give an overview of existing mechanisms of Mesogenesis (their respective signals and features), and discuss general ongoing and proposed search strategies (at colliders, neutrino detectors and more), before introducing the new 3M mechanism.

Dark matter detection using superconducting qubits

• Takeo Moroi (U. Tokyo)

Detection of wave-like dark matter using superconducting qubits is proposed. Due to their capacitive coupling with external electric fields, superconducting qubits are well-suited for detecting dark matter candidates such as hidden photons or axions, which induce effective electric fields. I will discuss the expected sensitivity in the search of these dark matter candidates using superconducting qubits as quantum sensors. I will also explore a possibility to enhance the signal rate with the help of the quantum coherence in qubits.

Impacts and Imprints of Axion Dynamics

• Raymond Co

We discovered that the (QCD) axion’s novel evolution, an oscillation or a rotation in field space, can address cosmological mysteries of the Universe. Oscillations can give rise to a new origin of dark matter via parametric resonance. Rotation dynamics may naturally arise as a result of quantum gravity effects and cosmic inflation. This talk will explore the example where axion rotations contribute to axion dark matter through kinetic misalignment and can generate the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe via axiogenesis. Remarkably, rich phenomenology automatically arises with sharp, distinct, and correlated predictions, including stronger interactions, unique gravitational wave signals, correlated mass scales of supersymmetry and neutrinos, and dark matter gravitational lensing. Thus far, novel axion dynamics have added fuel to experimental efforts and paved new theory research avenues.
