A Note on Modular Invariant Species Scale and Potentials
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 71, Issue 10-11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The species scale provides an upper bound for the ultraviolet cutoff of effective theories of gravity coupled to a number of light particle species. Modular invariant (super‐)potentials provide a simple and computable expression of the species scale as a function of the moduli in toroidal orbifold compactifications of type II and heterotic ...

Hidden Sectors from Multiple Line Bundles for the B−L$B-L$ MSSM
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 7-8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract We give a formalism for constructing hidden sector bundles as extensions of sums of line bundles in heterotic M‐theory. Although this construction is generic, we present it within the context of the specific Schoen threefold that leads to the physically realistic B−L$B-L$ MSSM model.

Boosted decision trees in the era of new physics: a smuon analysis case study
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Machine learning algorithms are growing increasingly popular in particle physics analyses, where they are used for their ability to solve difficult classification and regression problems. While the tools are very powerful, they may often be under- or mis-

Who's Afraid of the Supersymmetric Dark? The Standard Model vs Low‐Energy Supergravity
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 7-8, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Use of supergravity equations in astronomy and late‐universe cosmology is often criticized on three grounds: (i) phenomenological success usually depends on the supergravity form for the scalar potential applying at the relevant energies; (ii$ii$) the low‐energy scalar potential is extremely sensitive to quantum effects involving very massive ...

Evolving Heterotic Gauge Backgrounds: Genetic Algorithms versus Reinforcement Learning
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 Abstract The immensity of the string landscape and the difficulty of identifying solutions that match the observed features of particle physics have raised serious questions about the predictive power of string theory. Modern methods of optimisation and search can, however, significantly improve the prospects of constructing the standard model in ...

Quintessence and the Swampland: The Numerically Controlled Regime of Moduli Space
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract We provide a detailed discussion of the main theoretical and phenomenological challenges of quintessence model building in any numerically controlled regime of the moduli space of string theory. We argue that a working quintessence model requires a leading order non‐supersymmetric (near) Minkowski vacuum with an axionic flat direction.

Quintessence and the Swampland: The Parametrically Controlled Regime of Moduli Space
Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 70, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract We provide evidence that slow roll is not possible in any parametrically controlled regime of the moduli space of string theory. This is proven in full generality in the asymptotic limit of the moduli space of type II and heterotic Calabi‐Yau compactifications for the dilaton and any number of Kähler moduli.

Discovery and Exclusion Prospects for Staus Produced by Heavy Higgs Boson Decays at the LHC
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 In a previous work, we developed a search strategy for staus produced by the decay of the heavy CP‐even Higgs boson H within the context of the large tanβ regime of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in a scenario of large stau mixing. Here, we study the performance of such search strategy by confronting it with the complementary mixing ...

Studying Same‐Sign Top Pair Production through Top‐Higgs FCNC Interactions at the HL‐LHC
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 We investigate the potential of the HL‐LHC for discovering new physics effects via the same‐sign top pair signatures. We focus on the semileptonic (electron and muon) decay of the top quarks and study the reach for a simplified model approach where top quark flavor changing could occur through a neutral scalar exchange.
