Abstract

Selected astrophysical methods for testing particle-physics models are reviewed. Stellar structure and evolution constrain additional channels of energy loss and transport; high-energy photon propagation probes photon mixing with new particles and modifications of electron-positron pair production; large-volume neutrino telescopes are used to search for magnetic monopoles, neutrinos from superheavy dark-matter decay, and non-standard neutrino propagation. Recent applications of these methods are discussed, involving the tip of the red-giant branch in the color-luminosity diagram, gamma-ray burst 221009A, and data from the Baikal Gigaton Volume Detector (Baikal-GVD) and the IceCube experiment. In each case, particle-physics parameters are inferred through a forward model that accounts for the response to new physics, propagation, detection, and nuisance parameters.

Unusual portals to new exotics, the $W$-gluon portal

We explore models where new light exotic (LEX) states interact with the Standard Model (SM) through the $W$-gluon portal, an asymmetric di-boson portal. The complete set of effective operators up to dimension six which couple a single LEX state to at least one $W$ boson and one gluon is considered. Other Standard Model particles may also be present in the interactions. We show that the $W$-gluon portal allows us to access a large array of exotic states in non-trivial representations of SU(3)$_\text{c}$ and SU(2)$_\text{L}$. New single production collider modes and phenomenological signatures for these light exotic states at the LHC and $ep$ colliders are discussed.

Unification of Gravity and Standard Model: Weyl-Dirac-Born-Infeld action

We construct a unified (quantum) description, by the gauge principle, of gravity and Standard Model (SM), that generalises the Dirac-Born-Infeld action to the SM and Weyl geometry, hereafter called Weyl-Dirac-Born-Infeld action (WDBI). The theory is formulated in $d =4-2ε$ dimensions. The WDBI action is a general gauge theory of SM and Weyl group (of dilatations and Poincaré symmetry), in the Weyl gauge covariant (metric!) formulation of Weyl geometry. The theory is SM and Weyl gauge invariant in $d=4-2ε$ dimensions and there is no Weyl anomaly. The WDBI action has the unique elegant feature, not present in other gauge theories or even in string theory, that it is mathematically well-defined in $d=4-2ε$ dimensions with no need to introduce in the action a UV regulator scale or field. This action actually {\it predicts} that gravity, through (Weyl covariant) space-time curvature $\hat R$, acts as UV regulator of both SM and gravity in $d=4$. A series expansion of the WDBI action (in dimensionless couplings) recovers in the leading order a Weyl gauge invariant version of SM and the Weyl (gauge theory of) quadratic gravity. The SM and Einstein-Hilbert gravity are recovered in the Stueckelberg broken phase of Weyl gauge symmetry, which restores Riemannian geometry below Planck scale. Sub-leading orders are suppressed by powers of (dimensionless) gravitational coupling ($ξ$) of Weyl quadratic gravity.
