Ultralight scalars in leptonic observables
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many new physics scenarios contain ultralight scalars, states which are either exactly massless or much lighter than any other massive particle in the model. Axions and majorons constitute well-motivated examples of this type particle. In work, we explore phenomenology these low-energy leptonic observables. After adopting a model independent approach that includes both scalar pseudoscalar interactions, briefly discuss current limits on diagonal couplings to charged leptons consider processes $\phi$ is directly produced, such as $\mu \to e \, \phi$, acts mediator, $\tau \mu \mu$. Contributions magnetic electric moments studied well.

Ultralight Scalars and Spiral Galaxies
We study some possible astrophysical implications of a very weakly coupled ultralight dilaton-type scalar field. Such a field may develop an (approximately stable) network of domain walls. The domain wall thickness is assumed to be comparable with the thickness of the luminous part of the spiral galaxies. The walls provide trapping for galactic matter. This is used to motivate the very existenc...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and Electroweak Leptonic Observables
We study vertex corrections to the leptonic electroweak observables in the general MSSM at tan β <∼ 35. In particular, we address the question of whether supersymmetry can be responsible for the observed 2σ deviation from the Standard Model prediction in the invisible width of the Z. We find that the presence of a light (around 100 GeV) chargino and sleptons hinted by the gμ-2 measurements make...
متن کاملUltralight, ultrastiff mechanical metamaterials.
The mechanical properties of ordinary materials degrade substantially with reduced density because their structural elements bend under applied load. We report a class of microarchitected materials that maintain a nearly constant stiffness per unit mass density, even at ultralow density. This performance derives from a network of nearly isotropic microscale unit cells with high structural conne...
متن کاملUltralight metal foams
Ultralight (<10 mg/cm3) cellular materials are desirable for thermal insulation; battery electrodes; catalyst supports; and acoustic, vibration, or shock energy damping. However, most of these ultralight materials, especially ultralight metal foams, are fabricated using either expensive materials or complicated procedures, which greatly limit their large-scale production and practical applicati...
متن کاملPlanck Data and Ultralight Axions
We examine the effects of photon-axion mixing on the CMB. We show that if there are very underdense regions between us and the last scattering surface which contain coherent magnetic fields (whose strength can be orders of magnitude weaker than the current bounds), then photon-axion mixing can induce observable deviations in the CMB spectrum. Specifically, we show that the mixing can give rise ...
