  • Relaxion: a Landscape Without Anthropics
    The Relaxion: A Landscape Without Anthropics Ann Nelson∗ and Chanda Prescod-Weinsteiny Department of Physics, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195-1560 (Dated: December 18, 2017) The relaxion mechanism provides a potentially elegant solution to the hierarchy problem without resorting to anthropic or other fine-tuning arguments. This mech- anism introduces an axion-like field, dubbed the relaxion, whose expectation value determines the electroweak hierarchy as well as the QCD strong CP violating θ¯ parameter. During an inflationary period, the Higgs mass squared is selected to be negative and hierarchically small in a theory which is consistent with 't Hooft's technical naturalness criteria. However, in the original model proposed by Graham, Kaplan, and Rajendran [1], the relaxion does not solve the strong CP problem, and in fact contributes to it, as the coupling of the relaxion to the Higgs field and the introduction of a linear potential for the relaxion produces large strong CP violation. We resolve this tension by considering inflation with a Hubble scale which is above the QCD scale but below the weak scale, and estimating the Hubble temperature dependence of the axion mass. The relaxion potential is thus very different during inflation than it is today. We find that provided the inflationary Hubble scale is between the weak scale and about 3 GeV, the relaxion resolves the hierarchy, strong CP, and dark matter problems in a way that is technically natural. arXiv:1708.00010v2 [hep-ph] 15 Dec 2017 I. INTRODUCTION Although the Standard Model represents a significant triumph for both theoretical and experimental particle physics, questions remain.

Don’t need to know? Message for Particle Physics from observations of cosmological light element production any more messages? 99.7% ! Origin story • Nuclei synthesized from protons and neutrons (baryons) at T~MeV • Baryons are synthesized from quarks at T~100 MeV •Quarks are elementary (?) but tiny excess of quarks over anti quarks in hot early universe • How did that asymmetry arise?

Kaplan, Chair Ann Nelson Martin Savage Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Physics University of Washington Abstract Applications of Quantum Field Theory, From the Formal to the Phenomenological Dorota Grabowska Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor David B. Kaplan Department of Physics and Institute For Nuclear Theory Much of the beautiful and complex phenomenology of the Standard Model can be traced back to the presence of chiral symmetries, both global and local, and nonperturbative phenomena. Without chiral symmetries (and the anomalous ways that they can be broken), there would be no flavor physics or CP violation. Without a strongly coupled sector, the richly intricate structure of the hadron spectrum would be lost. After introducing the Standard Model and some of its phenomenological aspects, as well as some of the tools that are used to explore its structure, I will focus on my contributions to several open problems in flavor physics, lattice field theory and astrophysics.

  • A Neighborhood-Centered Approach to Developmental Contexts: an Application to Three Risk Behaviors in Adolescence and Young Adulthood
    A NEIGHBORHOOD-CENTERED APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENTAL CONTEXTS: AN APPLICATION TO THREE RISK BEHAVIORS IN ADOLESCENCE AND YOUNG ADULTHOOD Tara D. Warner A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2012 Committee: Raymond R. Swisher, Advisor Michael E. Buerger Graduate Faculty Representative Peggy C. Giordano Danielle C. Kuhl Wendy D. Manning ii ABSTRACT Raymond R. Swisher, Advisor Bridging macrosociological life course, place stratification, and social disorganization theories, this study advances a “neighborhood-centered” approach to study one of the developmental contexts of adolescent and young adult behavior. This approach extends neighborhood effects research and addresses limitations of existing life course and neighborhoods scholarship by explicitly highlighting the social structural forces—as embodied in the patterning of a finite set of neighborhood types—that anchor trajectories of risk behaviors in adolescence. Using four waves of nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), latent class analysis, and growth curve modeling, I first identify distinct neighborhood types patterned by the intersection of three key components of structural inequality: race/ethnicity, socioeconomic class, and geography. Second, I examine how trajectories of delinquency, sexual activity, and marijuana use during adolescence and into young adulthood differ across neighborhood types, and the extent to which neighborhoods shape these behaviors directly and indirectly (through theorized individual, family, and peer mediators). Results from the latent class analysis both demonstrate the complex ways in which indicators of stratification intersect to shape specific neighborhood contexts, and provide the foundation for a multidimensional classification of these contexts.

  • Residential Segregation by Skin Color: Brazil Revisited
    Valente, Rubia da Rocha, and Brian J. L. Berry. 2020. Residential Segregation by Skin Color: Brazil Revisited. Latin American Research Review 55(2), pp. 207–226. DOI: https://doi.org/10.25222/larr.83 SOCIOLOGY Residential Segregation by Skin Color: Brazil Revisited Rubia da Rocha Valente1 and Brian J. L. Berry2 1 Baruch College, City University of New York, US 2 The University of Texas at Dallas, US Corresponding author: Rubia da Rocha Valente ([email protected]) This article examines residential segregation by skin color in forty of the largest metropolitan areas in Brazil, using census tract data from the 2010 Brazilian census. Residential dissimilarity among whites, browns, and blacks is moderate to low by US standards, and residential segregation correlates positively with socioeconomic status. By contrasting our findings with results from the 1980 Brazilian census, we observe that in thirty years, residential segregation decreased significantly in many metropolitan areas, particularly white-brown and brown-black dissimilarities. We speculate as to why these changes should have occurred. Este artigo examina a segregação residencial por raça em quarenta das maiores áreas metropolitanas do Brasil, usando dados do setor censitário do censo Brasileiro de 2010. A dissimilaridade residencial entre brancos, pardos e negros é moderada a baixa pelos padrões dos EUA, e a segregação residencial se correlaciona positivamente com o status socioeconômico. Ao contrastar nossos resultados com o do censo Brasileiro de 1980, observamos que, em trinta anos, a segregação residencial diminuiu significativamente em muitas áreas metropolitanas, particularmente nas dissimilaridades branco-pardo e pardo-negro. Especulamos os motivos pela qual essas mudanças ocorreram.

  • SUPERSYMMETRY and STRING THEORY Beyond the Standard Model
    This page intentionally left blank SUPERSYMMETRY AND STRING THEORY Beyond the Standard Model The past decade has witnessed some dramatic developments in the field of theoret- ical physics, including advancements in supersymmetry and string theory. There have also been spectacular discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology. The next few years will be an exciting time in particle physics with the start of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. This book is a comprehensive introduction to these recent developments, and provides the tools necessary to develop models of phenomena important in both accelerators and cosmology. It contains a review of the Standard Model, covering non-perturbative topics, and a discussion of grand unified theories and magnetic monopoles. The book focuses on three principal areas: supersymmetry, string the- ory, and astrophysics and cosmology. The chapters on supersymmetry introduce the basics of supersymmetry and its phenomenology, and cover dynamics, dynamical supersymmetry breaking, and electric–magnetic duality. The book then introduces general relativity and the big bang theory, and the basic issues in inflationary cos- mologies. The section on string theory discusses the spectra of known string theo- ries, and the features of their interactions. The compactification of string theories is treated extensively. The book also includes brief introductions to technicolor, large extra dimensions, and the Randall–Sundrum theory of warped spaces. Supersymmetry and String Theory will enable readers to develop models for new physics, and to consider their implications for accelerator experiments. This will be of great interest to graduates and researchers in the fields of parti- cle theory, string theory, astrophysics, and cosmology.

In the B-Mesogenesis paradigm [G. Elor, M. Escudero, and A. E. Nelson, PRD 99, 035031 (2019), arXiv:1810.00880], the CP violating oscillations and subsequent decays of B mesons in the early Universe simultaneously explain the origin of the baryonic and the dark matter of the Universe. This mechanism for baryo- and dark matter genesis from B mesons gives rise to distinctive signals at collider experiments, 0 ¯0 which we scrutinize in this paper. We study CP violating observables in the Bq − Bq system, discuss current and expected sensitivities for the exotic decays of B mesons into a visible baryon and missing energy, and explore the implications of direct searches for a TeV-scale colored scalar at the LHC and in meson-mixing observables. Remarkably, we conclude that a combination of measurements at BaBar, Belle, Belle II, LHCb, ATLAS and CMS can fully test B-Mesogenesis. CONTENTS B. Outlook: Future Directions 27 I.
