  What can we learn from 10¹⁸ Muons? Probing Flavor Violation in the Laboratory

  Flavor violation among the neutrinos, discovered in solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments, suggests—and indeed requires—flavor violation among the neutrino’s charged partners, the electron, muon, and tau.

  Nuclear-level Effective Theory of Muon-to-Electron Conversion: Formalism and Applications

  New mu-to-e conversion searches aim to advance limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by four orders of magnitude. By considering P and CP selection rules and the structure of […]

  The Gallium Neutrino Cross Section and its Uncertainty

  In the recent Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST), a suppressed rate of neutrino absorption on a gallium target was observed, consistent with earlier results from neutrino source calibrations of […]

  A framework for phase transitions between the Maxwell and Gibbs constructions

  By taking the nucleon-to-quark phase transition within a neutron star as an example, we present a thermodynamically-consistent method to calculate the equation of state of ambient matter so that transitions […]

  Oscillations of Highly Magnetized Non-rotating Neutron Stars

  Highly magnetized neutron stars are promising candidates to explain some of the most peculiar astronomical phenomena, for instance, fast radio bursts, gamma-ray bursts, and superluminous supernovae. Pulsations of these highly […]
