• A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics

  Journal of Physics G Nuclear and Particle Physics · 2022 · 150 citations

  Abstract The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the available parameter space for weakly interacting massive particles, while featuring extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates. These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinoless double-beta decay and through a variety of astrophysical sources. A next…

• Higgs-mass predictions in the MSSM and beyond

  The European Physical Journal C · 2021 · 91 citations

  Abstract Predictions for the Higgs masses are a distinctive feature of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, where they play a crucial role in constraining the parameter space. The discovery of a Higgs boson and the remarkably precise measurement of its mass at the LHC have spurred new efforts aimed at improving the accuracy of the theoretical predictions for the Higgs masses in supersymmetric models. The “ Precision SUSY Higgs Mass Calculation Initiative ” (KUTS) was launched in 2014…

• Entanglement suppression, enhanced symmetry, and a standard-model-like Higgs boson

  Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2024-03-14 · 25 citations

  articleOpen access

  We study information-theoretic properties of scalar models containing two Higgs doublets ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{a}$, where $a=1$, 2 is the flavor quantum number. Considering the 2-to-2 scattering ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{a}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{b}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{c}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}_{d}$ as a two-qubit system in the flavor subspace and the $S$-matrix as a quantum logic gate, we analyze the entanglement power of the $S$-matrix…

• Lighting up the LHC with Dark Matter

  Journal of High Energy Physics · 2023-11-08 · 15 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  A bstract We show that simultaneously explaining dark matter and the observed value of the muon’s magnetic dipole moment may lead to yet unexplored photon signals at the LHC. We consider the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with electroweakino masses in the few-to-several hundred GeV range, and opposite sign of the Bino mass parameter with respect to both the Higgsino and Wino mass parameters. In such region of parameter space, the spin-independent elastic scattering cross section of a Bino…

• Self consistent thermal resummation: a case study of the phase transition in 2HDM

  Journal of High Energy Physics · 2025-12-03 · 12 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  A bstract An accurate description of the scalar potential at finite temperature is crucial for studying cosmological first-order phase transitions (FOPT) in the early Universe. At finite temperatures, a precise treatment of thermal resummations is essential, as bosonic fields encounter significant infrared issues that can compromise standard perturbative approaches. The Partial Dressing (or the tadpole resummation) method provides a self consistent resummation of higher order corrections, allowi…
