In this work, we consider the case of a strongly coupled dark/hidden sector, which extends
the Standard Model (SM) by adding an additional non-Abelian gauge group. These …

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large
number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC …

The history of dark universe physics can be traced from processes in the very early universe
to the modern dominance of dark matter and energy. Here, we review the possible nontrivial …

In this work, we show that a large class of models with a composite dark sector undergo a
strong first order phase transition in the early Universe, which could lead to a detectable …

“Dark quark nuggets,” a lump of dark quark matter, can be produced in the early universe for
a wide range of confining gauge theories and serve as a macroscopic dark matter …

A bstract Dark Matter could be a composite state of a confining sector with an approximate
scale symmetry. We consider the case where the associated pseudo-Goldstone boson, the …

A bstract Run 2 LHC data show hints of a new resonance in the diphoton distribution at an
invariant mass of 750 GeV. We analyse the data in terms of a new boson, extracting …

A bstract First order phase transitions can leave relic pockets of false vacua and their
particles, that manifest as macroscopic Dark Matter. We compute one predictive model: a …

A bstract A strongly-coupled sector can feature a supercooled confinement transition in the
early universe. We point out that, when fundamental quanta of the strong sector are swept …

Plasmonic lasers attracted interest for their ability to generate coherent light in mode volume
smaller than the diffraction limit of photonic lasers. While nanoscale devices in one or two …
