I will describe the VISHnu model, which is a DFSZ axion-majoron model variant with the following features: (a) No cosmological domain wall problem, thus permitting a post-inflationary axion. (b) Identification of the Peccei-Quinn breaking scale with the type-I seesaw scale, thus explaining the tiny neutrino masses. (c) Baryogenesis via leptogenesis. (d) Successful inflation driven by a...
With the steady running of the LHCb and Belle II experiments, as well as the precision achieved from Lattice QCD for non-perturbative hadronic parameters, we are entering the era of precision flavor physics. In this talk, I will introduce the role played by flavor physics in precisely testing the Standard Model and indirectly probing physics beyond it. Then, I will give some examples to...
The first observation of CP violation in baryon decays in last year is a historic milestone for particle physics. This talk summarizes theoretical progress in the field, highlighting the accurate predictions preceding the discovery and discussing subsequent developments.
