Cosmic clues: DESI, dark energy, and the cosmological constant problem
Several attempts to solve the cosmological constant problem, which concerns the value of the cosmological constant being extremely smaller than the Standard Model mass scales, have introduced a scalar field with a very flat potential that can be ...

Modulated reheating and large non-gaussianity in string cosmology [PDF]
A generic feature of the known string inflationary models is that the same physics that makes the inflaton lighter than the Hubble scale during inflation often also makes other scalars this light.

Inching toward the QCD axions with axion magnetic resonance in helioscopes
Utilizing a helical magnet profile to enhance axion-photon conversion showed great promise in laboratory searches for high axion masses. We extend the mechanism, known as the axion-magnetic resonance (AMR), from laser experiments to axion helioscopes and

Resonant Landau-Zener conversion in multi-axion systems
Multiple axions may emerge in the low-energy effective theory of Nature. Generically, the potentials describing these axion fields are non-diagonal, leading to mass mixing between axion states which can be temperature-dependent due to QCD instanton ...

Mobility Extension for Broadband Satellite Multimedia [PDF]
This paper presents an extension for Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM) to support Mobility Management (MM). To support seamless handovers, mobility related entities are proposed in the Satellite Independent Access Function (SIAF) defined over the SI ...

braneworld cosmology and holography [PDF]
This thesis is devoted to studying two important aspects of braneworld physics: their cosmology and their holography. We examine the Einstein equations induced on a general (n - 2)-brane of arbitrary tension, embedded in some n-dimensional bulk.

Ultra-high frequency gravitational waves from scattering, Bremsstrahlung and decay during reheating
We investigate ultra-high frequency gravitational waves (GWs) from gravitons generated during inflationary reheating. Specifically, we study inflaton scattering with its decay product, where the couplings involved in this 2 → 2 scattering are the same as

Gravitational production of heavy particles during and after inflation
We investigate the gravitational production of a scalar field χ with a mass exceeding the Hubble scale during inflation m χ ≳ H I , employing both analytical and numerical approaches.
