Vacuum metastability from Axion-Higgs criticality

Journal of High Energy Physics
Self-organised criticality, realised through cosmological dynamics in the early universe, is an alternative paradigm for addressing the electroweak hierarchy problem.

The axion-photon mixing in non-linear electrodynamic scenarios

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
In this contribution, we re-assess some aspects of axionic electrodynamics by coupling non-linear electromagnetic effects to axion physics. We present a number of motivations to justify the coupling of the axion to the photon in terms of a general non ...

The ALPs from the top: searching for long lived axion-like particles from exotic top decays

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Abstract We propose a search for long lived axion-like particles (ALPs) in exotic top decays. Flavour-violating ALPs appear as low energy effective theories for various new physics scenarios such as t-channel dark sectors or Froggatt-Nielsen models. In this case the top quark may decay to an ALP and an up- or charm-quark.

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Integrating experimental and observational approaches facilitates scaling species interactions to biodiversity patterns

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract To investigate how niche and fitness differences determine the outcome of species interactions and shape local biodiversity patterns, research has typically focused on either simplified experimental systems that test specific mechanisms or observational studies where ...

Small instantons and the post-inflationary QCD axion in a special product GUT

Journal of High Energy Physics
We present a new framework of grand unification that is equipped with an axion solution to the strong CP problem without a domain wall problem when the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry is spontaneously broken after inflation.

Effective field theories of axion, ALP and dark photon

Journal of High Energy Physics
Abstract With the help of Young tensor technique, we enumerate the complete and independent set of effective operators up to dim-8 for the extension of the standard model with a Goldstone boson by further imposing the Adler’s zero condition in the soft momentum limit.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the
