The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

A call for new physics: the muon anomalous magnetic moment and lepton flavor violation

M Lindner, M Platscher, FS Queiroz - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review how the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g− 2) and the quest for lepton flavor
violation are intimately correlated. Indeed the decay μ→ e γ is induced by the same …

Flavor probes of axion-like particles

M Bauer, M Neubert, S Renner, M Schnubel… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated low-energy relics of high-
energy extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We investigate the phenomenology of an …

Charged lepton flavour violation: an experimental and theoretical introduction

L Calibbi, G Signorelli - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2018 - Springer
Charged lepton flavour-violating transitions would be a clear signal of new physics beyond
the Standard Model. Their search has been carried out in a variety of channels, the most …

Axionlike Particles, Lepton-Flavor Violation, and a New Explanation of and

M Bauer, M Neubert, S Renner, M Schnubel, A Thamm - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
Axionlike particles (ALPs) with lepton-flavor-violating couplings can be probed in exotic
muon and tau decays. The sensitivity of different experiments depends strongly on the ALP …

Hot Axions and the H0 tension

F D'Eramo, RZ Ferreira, A Notari… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Scattering and decay processes of thermal bath particles involving heavy leptons can dump
hot axions in the primordial plasma around the QCD phase transition. We compute their relic …

Looking forward to lepton-flavor-violating ALPs

L Calibbi, D Redigolo, R Ziegler, J Zupan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We assess the status of past and future experiments on lepton flavor violating (LFV)
muon and tau decays into a light, invisible, axion-like particle (ALP), a. We propose a new …

Precision tau physics

A Pich - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2014 - Elsevier
Precise measurements of the lepton properties provide stringent tests of the Standard Model
and accurate determinations of its parameters. We overview the present status of τ physics …

Flaxion: a minimal extension to solve puzzles in the standard model

Y Ema, K Hamaguchi, T Moroi, K Nakayama - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We propose a minimal extension of the standard model which includes only one
additional complex scalar field, flavon, with flavor-dependent global U (1) symmetry. It not …

High-energy tests of Lorentz invariance

S Coleman, SL Glashow - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We develop a perturbative framework with which to discuss departures from exact Lorentz
invariance and explore their potentially observable ramifications. Tiny noninvariant terms …
