  The Escape Velocity Profile of the Milky Way from Gaia DR3

  The escape velocity profile of the Milky Way offers a crucial and independent measurement of its underlying mass distribution and dark matter properties. Using a sample of stars from Gaia […]

  Effective theory tower for μ→e conversion

  We present theoretical predictions for $\mu \rightarrow e$ conversion rates using a tower of effective field theories connecting the UV to nuclear physics scales. The interactions in nuclei are described […]

  Chiral EFT calculation of neutrino reactions in warm neutron-rich matter

  Neutrino scattering and absorption rates of relevance to supernovae and neutron star mergers are obtained from nuclear matter dynamical structure functions that encode many-body effects from nuclear mean fields and […]

  Dark Matter Catalyzed Baryon Destruction

  WIMP-type dark matter may have additional interactions that break baryon number, leading to induced nucleon decays which are subject to direct experimental constraints from proton decay experiments. In this work, […]
