search for the decay $K_L\to\pi^0\nu\overline{nu}$. The decay is sensitive to new
physics beyond the standard model because the standard model process is highly
suppressed in the decay. The branching ratio is $3\times 10^{-11}$ with small
theoretical uncertainty in the standard model. We set an upper limit of the
branching ratio at... -

In this talk, I will discuss discrete Goldstone bosons

(dGB's), light particles arising from spontaneously broken exact discrete
symmetries. These dGB's are guaranteed to have nonzero masses, while the
associated discrete symmetry protects them from quadratically divergent mass
contributions. The nonzero masses of dGB's arise directly from the discrete
symmetry, without requiring an explicit... -

.Hints for the violation of lepton flavour universality (satisfied within the SM) have accumulated in recent years. In particular, deviations from the SM predictions were observed in semi-leptonic B decays (b->sll and b->ctau), in the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2), in leptonic tau decays and di-electron searches. Furthermore, also the deficit in first row CKM unitarity, known as...

There are many astrophysical observations and cosmological evidence for the existence of dark matter (DM), but little is known of its particle nature. The Standard Model (SM) does not predict its existence, however, numerous theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM) provide viable candidates for DM. Common candidates in many of these theoretical models are the weakly interacting massive...

The ALPHA experiment at CERN is designed to perform precision measurements of the properties of antihydrogen - the antimatter counterpart of the hydrogen atom. The so-called ALPHA-2 apparatus is dedicated to antihydrogen spectroscopy. Its goal is to test the CPT invariance, a fundamental symmetry of the Standard Model, which requires that the spectra of hydrogen and antihydrogen be identical....

Ms Caroline Fengler (KATRIN Collaboration)11/7/22, 5:00 PMAllTalk
The KATRIN experiment aims to measure the neutrino mass by precision spectroscopy of tritium β-decay. Recently, KATRIN has improved the upper bound on the effective electron-neutrino mass to 0.8 eV/c² at 90% confidence level [1] and is continuing to take data for a target sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c².

Joao Penedo (CFTP-IST, Lisbon)11/8/22, 9:00 AMAllTalk
I discuss the application of modular invariance to the flavour problem from a (mostly) bottom-up perspective. In this framework, Yukawa couplings and mass matrices are obtained from modular forms, which are functions of a single complex number: the modulus VEV $\tau$. This VEV can be the only source of symmetry breaking, so no flavons need to be introduced. When $\tau$ is close to special...

Andreas Trautner (Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg)11/8/22, 9:30 AMAllTalk
The framework of compactified heterotic string theory offers consistent UV completions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In this approach, the existence of flavor symmetries beyond the Standard Model is imperative and the flavor symmetries can be derived from the top down. Such a derivation uncovers a unified origin of traditional discrete flavor symmetries, discrete modular flavor...

In this presentation, I will provide an overview on the current knowledge
Go to contribution page
on the unitarity of the CKM matrix and its constraining power on new
physics contributions. I will further review the current knowledge on the
determination of $V_{ub}$ and $V_{cb}$, whose values constrain together with the
CKM angle $\gamma / \phi_3$ constrain the apex of the unitary triangle. Several
new measurements... -

The discovery of neutrino oscillations is the first laboratory evidence of New Physics beyond the Standard Model.

Oscillating neutrinos necessarily imply that neutrinos are massive and that (neutral) lepton flavour is violated.
A signal of charged lepton flavour violation (cLFV) however so far eludes experimental discovery.
In this talk I will review some phenomenological implications of... -
Yohei Ema11/9/22, 9:00 AMAllTalk
In this talk, I review recent theoretical progress of electric dipole moments (EDMs). After explaining a new standard model contribution to paramagnetic EDMs that is recently discovered, I discuss indirect constraints on muon and tau EDMs from paramagnetic EDM experiments such as ACME. I also briefly comment on indirect constraints on charm and bottom quark EDMs.

The space-borne interferometer LISA will be sensitive to a variety of mechanisms sourcing gravitational waves in the late and early universe. In this talk we present the status of the LISA mission and summarize the science that LISA will achieve. We discuss in some detail the measurements that will allow LISA to probe BSM physics and cosmology. Particular attention will be dedicated to the...

After broad introduction on ultralight DM, I will briefly

discussed issues associated on quality problem and the interplay between
equivalence principle tests of ultralight DM and direct searches through the
oscillation of energy levels, and then I'll demonstrate the potentially surprising
result that oscillation of energy levels would provide us with possibly the best
bound on QCD-axion... -

Domain Walls in the Early Universe could be responsible for the generation of a
Gravitational Wave background signal, focusing in particular on the recent signal
detected by Pulsar Timing Arrays experiments, NANOGrav 12.5 years dataset and

heavier than usual... -
Goran Senjanovic (LMU)11/9/22, 11:40 AMAllTalk
Parity as prime example of left-right symmetry, is at the core of discrete symmetries, the first one that a child sees. It has played a fundamental role in the development of weak interactions, first with the V-A effective theory and then in the construction of the Standard Model. I show first how the maximal breaking of parity in beta decay was crucial in Weinberg’s classic 1967 paper that...

Skyler Degenkolb (Universität Heidelberg)11/10/22, 9:30 AMAllTalk
Permanent electric dipole moments probe the joint violation of parity and time-reversal symmetries, collecting many potential sources into a single low-energy observable. Although the Standard Model predicts finite values in many systems, these are too small for present-day experiments to detect.
Experimental results consistent with zero are thus interpreted, via the CPT theorem, as...

Yonit Hochberg11/10/22, 10:00 AMAllTalk
The exploration of dark matter beyond the WIMP is of vital importance towards resolving the identity of dark matter. I will present new proposals for the direct detection of light dark matter which hold much promise. These include the use of superconducting nanowires, two-dimensional targets such as graphene, and heavy fermion systems. Considering dark matter interactions with these targets, I...

Robert Ziegler11/10/22, 11:10 AMAllTalk
Standard Model extensions with light axions are well-motivated by the observed Dark Matter abundance and the Peccei-Quinn solution to the Strong CP Problem. In general such axions can have large flavor-violating couplings to SM fermions, which naturally arise in scenarios where the Peccei-Quinn symmetry also explains the hierarchical pattern of fermion masses and mixings. I will discuss how...

the early universe can dump relativistic axions in the primordial plasma. If
produced with a significant abundance, their presence can leave observable
signatures in cosmological observables probing both the early and the late
universe. In this talk, I will focus on the QCD axion and I will present recent and
significant improvements... -
Paul Frederik Depta (Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik)11/11/22, 9:30 AMAllTalk
We propose a novel mechanism for the production of dark matter (DM) from a thermal bath, based on the idea that DM particles $\chi$ can transform heat bath particles $\psi$: $\chi \psi \to \chi \chi$. For a small initial abundance of $\chi$ this leads to an exponential growth of the DM number density. We demonstrate that this mechanism complements freeze-in and freeze-out production in a...

The fundamental nature of dark or invisible matter remains
Go to contribution page
one of the great mysteries of our time. A leading hypothesis is that dark matter is
made of new elementary particles, with proposed masses and interaction cross
sections spanning an enormous range. Amongst the technologies developed to
search for dark matter particles, two-phase (liquid and gas) xenon time projection
chambers are... -
Vedran Brdar (CERN)11/11/22, 11:10 AMAllTalk
One of the most important achievements in the field of particle physics was the discovery of neutrino oscillations. This implies the massive nature of neutrinos and in turn points to the existence of physics Beyond the Standard Model. In this talk I will chiefly focus on several strategies to probe new physics with neutrinos. First and foremost, I will discuss some classes of neutrino mass...

Cold antihydrogen, the bound state of an antiproton and a positron, is an ideal laboratory to test the fundamental CPT symmetry, one of the cornerstones of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, by comparing its energy levels to ordinary hydrogen. Hydrogen is one of the best studied atoms experimentally, the two best-known transitions being the 1S-2S two-photon transition and the...

Quantum correlations are the cornerstone of quantum information theories. Profiting from the non-classical behaviour of a system opens new possibilities but also requires dedicated algorithms, simulations, and even infrastructures to be used. In this talk, the application of such quantum correlations (including the entanglement) for various systems, which can and are used in different fields,...
