Mass dimension one fermions: Constructing darkness

DV Ahluwalia, JMH da Silva, CY Lee, YX Liu… - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
Let Θ be the Wigner time reversal operator for spin half and let ϕ be a Weyl spinor. Then, for
a left-transforming ϕ, the construct ζ λ Θ ϕ∗ yields a right-transforming spinor. If instead, ϕ is …

Introduction to extra dimensions and thick braneworlds

YX Liu - Memorial volume for Yi-shi Duan, 2018 - World Scientific
In this review, we give a brief introduction on the aspects of some extra dimension models
and the five-dimensional thick brane models in extended theories of gravity. First, we briey …

On dilatons and the LHC diphoton excess

E Megias, O Pujolas, M Quiros - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We study soft wall models that can embed the Standard Model and a naturally light
dilaton. Exploiting the full capabilities of these models we identify the parameter space that …

[HTML][HTML] Pure geometric thick f(R)-branes: stability and localization of gravity

Y Zhong, YX Liu - The European Physical Journal C, 2016 - Springer
We study two exactly solvable five-dimensional thick brane world models in pure metric f (R)
gravity. Working in the Einstein frame, we show that these solutions are stable against small …

Localization of scalar field on the brane-world by coupling with gravity

H Guo, YT Lu, CL Wang, Y Sun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract In this paper, we consider a coupling mechanism between the kinetic term and the
gravity, in which a coupling function F (R) is introduced into the kinetic term of the five …

New localization mechanism of fermions on braneworlds

YX Liu, ZG Xu, FW Chen, SW Wei - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
It is known that by introducing the Yukawa coupling between the fermion and the
background scalar field, a bulk spin-half fermion can be localized on general Randall …

Braneworld in gravity theory with noncanonical scalar matter field

J Wang, WD Guo, ZC Lin, YX Liu - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
In this paper, we investigate the braneworld scenario in f (T) gravity with a K-field as the
background field. We consider various different specific forms of f (T) gravity and K-field and …
