Supersymmetric sphaleron configurations as the origin of the perplexing ANITA events

LA Anchordoqui, I Antoniadis - Physics Letters B, 2019 - Elsevier
The ANITA experiment has observed two air shower events with energy∼ 500 PeV
emerging from the Earth with exit angles of∼ 30∘. We explain ANITA events as arising from …

Connecting the electroweak sphaleron with gravitational waves

R Zhou, L Bian, HK Guo - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We study and reveal the relation between the electroweak sphaleron energy and the
gravitational wave signals from a first-order electroweak phase transition. For the first time …

Sphalerons in composite and nonstandard Higgs models
