Dynamical axions and gravitational waves

D Croon, R Houtz, V Sanz - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we explore the possibility of observable gravitational waves as a
manifestation of the QCD axion dynamics. In particular, we focus on dynamical axion models …

Walls, bubbles and doom—the cosmology of HEFT

R Alonso, JC Criado, R Houtz, M West - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract As experiment charts new territory at the electroweak scale, the enterprise to
characterise all possible theories becomes all the more necessary. In the absence of new …

Wideband, efficient optical serrodyne frequency shifting with a phase modulator and a nonlinear transmission line

R Houtz, C Chan, H Müller - Optics Express, 2009 - opg.optica.org
We report shifting of the frequency of an 850 nm laser with an instantaneous bandwidth of
(350-1650) MHz and an efficiency between 35%(minimum) to 80%(best at frequencies …

Machine learning a manifold

S Craven, D Croon, D Cutting, R Houtz - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We propose a simple method to identify a continuous Lie algebra symmetry in a dataset
through regression by an artificial neural network. Our proposal takes advantage of the O (ε …

Leptogenesis enabled by dark matter

D Croon, H Davoudiasl, R Houtz - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We propose that weak scale leptogenesis via∼ 10 TeV scale right-handed neutrinos could
be possible if their couplings had transitory larger values in the early Universe. The requisite …

Sources and technology for an atomic gravitational wave interferometric sensor

M Hohensee, SY Lan, R Houtz, C Chan, B Estey… - General Relativity and …, 2011 - Springer
We study the use of atom interferometers as detectors for gravitational waves in the mHz–Hz
frequency band, which is complementary to planned optical interferometers, such as laser …

Light dark matter through resonance scanning

D Croon, G Elor, R Houtz, H Murayama, G White - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We propose a new out-of-equilibrium production mechanism of light dark matter: resonance
scanning. If the dark matter mass evolved in the early Universe, resonant production may …

Radiative effects in the scalar sector of vector leptoquark models

R Houtz, S Trifinopoulos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Gauge models with massive vector leptoquarks at the TeV scale provide a
successful framework for addressing the B-physics anomalies. Among them, the 4321 model …

Hamiltonian truncation effective theory

T Cohen, K Farnsworth, R Houtz, M Luty - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
