28. A Comprehensive Effective Field Theory Framework for Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering

Gang Li (Sun Yat-sen University)

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) is critical for testing the Standard Model electroweak sector, exploring neutrino properties, and searching for new physics (NP), with recent experiments (e.g., COHERENT, CONUS+, PandaX-4T, XENONnT) highlighting the need for a systematic theoretical framework. We have constructed a comprehensive end-to-end effective field theory (EFT)...

The reionization optical depth $\tau_{\rm reio}$ has interesting connections to existing cosmological anomalies. As first studied in the context of the Hubble tension in our previous paper, a larger $\tau_{\rm reio}$, which could be achieved by removing the Planck low-$\ell$ polarization data, could boost $H_0$ slightly, resulting in a mild reduction of the tension between the early- and...

72. Non-Abelian Domain walls: oreo and CP violation

Bowen Fu (Northeastern University, Shenyang)

The spontaneous breaking of an $A_4$ flavour symmetry can lead to the formation of domain walls. We study this phenomenon in the scenarios of real and complex $A_4$ symmetric scalar theories and discover new kinds of domain walls, which we denote as ``oreo''-type composite domain walls and CP-violating domain walls.
