νDoBe — A Python tool for neutrinoless double beta decay
We present $\nu$DoBe, a Python tool for the computation of neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) rates in terms of lepton-number-violating operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). The […]

Probing Lepton Number Violation: A Comprehensive Survey of Dimension-7 SMEFT
Observation of lepton number violation would represent a groundbreaking discovery with profound consequences for fundamental physics and as such, it has motivated an extensive experimental program searching for neutrinoless double […]

Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay without Vacuum Majorana Neutrino Mass
We present a proof-of-concept extension to the Standard Model that can generate a non-vanishing neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) signal without the existence of Majorana neutrinos or lepton number violation […]

Dark population transfer mechanism for sterile neutrino dark matter
We present a mechanism for producing a cosmologically-significant relic density of one or more sterile neutrinos. This scheme invokes two steps: First, a population of “heavy” sterile neutrinos is created […]

Late-forming black holes and the antiproton, gamma-ray, and anti-helium excesses
Black holes long-lived enough to be the dark matter have temperatures below the MeV. Since Hawking evaporation is a quasi-thermal process, no GeV emission is predicted to be produced by […]
