  Title Electroweak breaking and neutrino mass: `invisible' Higgs decays at the LHC (type II seesaw) Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 18 Issue Pages 033033 - 21pp  
  Keywords neutrino mass; invisible Higgs decays; Higgs physics  
  Abstract Neutrino mass generation through the Higgs mechanism not only suggests the need to reconsider the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking from a new perspective, but also provides a new theoretically consistent and experimentally viable paradigm. We illustrate this by describing the main features of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the simplest type-II seesaw model with spontaneous breaking of lepton number. After reviewing the relevant `theoretical' and astrophysical restrictions on the Higgs sector, we perform an analysis of the sensitivities of Higgs Boson searches at the ongoing ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, including not only the new contributions to the decay channels present in the standard model (SM) but also genuinely non-SM Higgs Boson decays, such as `invisible' Higgs Boson decays to majorons. We find sensitivities that are likely to be reached at the upcoming run of the experiments.

  Title A search for an excited muon decaying to a muon and two jets in pp collisions at root s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 18 Issue Pages 073021 - 21pp  
  Keywords excited leptons; lepton compositeness; leptoquarks  
  Abstract Anew search signature for excited leptons is explored. Excited muons are sought in the channel pp -> μmu* -> μμjet jet, assuming both the production and decay occur via a contact interaction. The analysis is based on 20.3 fb(-1) of pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV taken with the ATLAS detector at the large hadron collider. No evidence of excited muons is found, and limits are set at the 95% confidence level on the cross section times branching ratio as a function of the excited-muon mass m(mu)*. For m(mu)* between 1.3 and 3.0 TeV, the upper limit on sigma B(mu* -> μq (q) over bar) is between 0.6 and 1 fb. Limits on sB are converted to lower bounds on the compositeness scale Lambda. In the limiting case Lambda = m(mu)*, excited muons with a mass below 2.8 TeV are excluded. With the same model assumptions, these limits at larger mu* masses improve upon previous limits from traditional searches based on the gauge-mediated decay mu* -> μgamma.

  Title Search for scalar leptoquarks in pp collisions at root s=13TeV with the ATLAS experiment Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 18 Issue Pages 093016 - 25pp  
  Keywords leptoquark; ATLAS; LHC  
  Abstract An inclusive search for a new-physics signature of lepton-jet resonances has been performed by the ATLAS experiment. Scalar leptoquarks, pair-produced in pp collisions at root s = 13 TeV at the large hadron collider, have been considered. An integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb(-1), corresponding to the full 2015 dataset was used. First (second) generation leptoquarks were sought in events with two electrons (muons) and two or more jets. The observed event yield in each channel is consistent with Standard Model background expectations. The observed (expected) lower limits on the leptoquark mass at 95% confidence level are 1100 and 1050 GeV (1160 and 1040 GeV) for first and second generation leptoquarks, respectively, assuming a branching ratio into a charged lepton and a quark of 100%. Upper limits on the aforementioned branching ratio are also given as a function of leptoquark mass. Compared with the results of earlier ATLAS searches, the sensitivity is increased for leptoquark masses above 860 GeV, and the observed exclusion limits confirm and extend the published results.

  Title Quantum walks as simulators of neutrino oscillations in a vacuum and matter Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 18 Issue Pages 103038 - 8pp  
  Keywords quantum walks; neutrino oscillations; quantum simulation  
  Abstract We analyze the simulation of Dirac neutrino oscillations using quantum walks, both in a vacuum and in matter. We show that this simulation, in the continuum limit, reproduces a set of coupled Dirac equations that describe neutrino flavor oscillations, and we make use of this to establish a connection with neutrino phenomenology, thus allowing one to fix the parameters of the simulation for a given neutrino experiment. We also analyze how matter effects for neutrino propagation can be simulated in the quantum walk. In this way, important features, such as the MSW effect, can be incorporated. Thus, the simulation of neutrino oscillations with the help of quantum walks might be useful to illustrate these effects in extreme conditions, such as the solar interior or supernovae.

  Title Probing CP violation with non-unitary mixing in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments: DUNE as a case study Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 19 Issue Pages 093005 - 14pp  
  Keywords neutrino masses and mixings; neutrino oscillations; neutrino interactions  
  Abstract When neutrino masses arise from the exchange of neutral heavy leptons, as in most seesaw schemes, the effective lepton mixing matrix N describing neutrino propagation is non-unitary, hence neutrinos are not exactly orthonormal. New CP violation phases appear in N that could be confused with the standard phase delta(CP) characterizing the three neutrino paradigm. We study the potential of the long-baseline neutrino experiment DUNE in probing CP violation induced by the standard CP phase in the presence of non-unitarity. In order to accomplish this we develop our previous formalism, so as to take into account the neutrino interactions with the medium, important in long baseline experiments such as DUNE. We find that the expected CP sensitivity of DUNE is somewhat degraded with respect to that characterizing the standard unitary case. However the effect is weaker than might have been expected thanks mainly to the wide neutrino beam. We also investigate the sensitivity of DUNE to the parameters characterizing non-unitarity. In this case we find that there is no improvement expected with respect to the current situation, unless the near detector setup is revamped.

  Title Nonequilibrium quantum dynamics of partial symmetry breaking for ultracold bosons in an optical lattice ring trap Type Journal Article
  Year 2019 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 21 Issue Pages 043042 - 13pp  
  Keywords partial symmetry breaking; ultracold boson; ring trap; nonequilibrium quantum dynamics  
  Abstract A vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate on a ring undergoes quantum dynamics in response to a quantum quench in terms of partial symmetry breaking from a uniform lattice to a biperiodic one. Neither the current, a macroscopic measure, nor fidelity, a microscopic measure, exhibit critical behavior. Instead, the symmetry memory succeeds in identifying the critical symmetry breaking at which the system begins to forget its initial symmetry state. We further identify a symmetry energy difference in the low lying excited states which trends with the symmetry memory.

  Title Prethermalization of quantum systems interacting with non-equilibrium environments Type Journal Article
  Year 2020 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 22 Issue 8 Pages 083067 - 17pp  
  Keywords open quantum systems; prethermalization; master equations  
  Abstract The usual paradigm of open quantum systems falls short when the environment is actually coupled to additional fields or components that drive it out of equilibrium. Here we explore the simplest such scenario, by considering a two level system coupled to a first thermal reservoir that in turn couples to a second thermal bath at a different temperature. We derive a master equation description for the system and show that, in this situation, the dynamics can be especially rich. In particular, we observe prethermalization, a transitory phenomenon in which the system initially approaches thermal equilibrium with respect to the first reservoir, but after a longer time converges to the thermal state dictated by the temperature of the second environment. Using analytical arguments and numerical simulations, we analyze the occurrence of this phenomenon, and how it depends on temperatures and coupling strengths. The phenomenology gets even richer if the system is placed between two such non-equilibrium environments. In this case, the energy current through the system may exhibit transient features and even switch direction, before the system eventually reaches a non-equilibrium steady state.

  Title SNEWS 2.0: a next-generation supernova early warning system for multi-messenger astronomy Type Journal Article
  Year 2021 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 23 Issue 3 Pages 031201 - 34pp  
  Keywords supernova neutrinos; multi-messenger astronomy; particle astrophysics  
  Abstract The next core-collapse supernova in the Milky Way or its satellites will represent a once-in-a-generation opportunity to obtain detailed information about the explosion of a star and provide significant scientific insight for a variety of fields because of the extreme conditions found within. Supernovae in our galaxy are not only rare on a human timescale but also happen at unscheduled times, so it is crucial to be ready and use all available instruments to capture all possible information from the event. The first indication of a potential stellar explosion will be the arrival of a bright burst of neutrinos. Its observation by multiple detectors worldwide can provide an early warning for the subsequent electromagnetic fireworks, as well as signal to other detectors with significant backgrounds so they can store their recent data. The supernova early warning system (SNEWS) has been operating as a simple coincidence between neutrino experiments in automated mode since 2005. In the current era of multi-messenger astronomy there are new opportunities for SNEWS to optimize sensitivity to science from the next galactic supernova beyond the simple early alert. This document is the product of a workshop in June 2019 towards design of SNEWS 2.0, an upgraded SNEWS with enhanced capabilities exploiting the unique advantages of prompt neutrino detection to maximize the science gained from such a valuable event.

  Title Multiparameter quantum metrology and mode entanglement with spatially split nonclassical spin ensembles Type Journal Article
  Year 2023 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 25 Issue 7 Pages 073006 - 25pp  
  Keywords quantum metrology; Bose-Einstein condensates; spin-squeezing; Fisher information matrix; mode and particle entanglement  
  Abstract We identify the multiparameter sensitivity of entangled spin states, such as spin-squeezed and Dicke states that are spatially distributed into several addressable spatial modes. Analytical expressions for the spin-squeezing matrix of families of states that are accessible by current atomic experiments reveal the quantum gain in multiparameter metrology, as well as the optimal strategies to maximize the sensitivity gain for the estimation of any linear combination of parameters. We further study the mode entanglement of these states by deriving a witness for genuine k-partite mode entanglement from the spin-squeezing matrix. Our results highlight the advantage of mode entanglement for distributed sensing, and outline optimal protocols for multiparameter estimation with nonclassical spatially-distributed spin ensembles. We illustrate our findings with the design of a protocol for gradient sensing with a Bose-Einstein condensate in an entangled spin state in two modes.

  Title Application range of crosstalk-affected spatial demultiplexing for resolving separations between unbalanced sources Type Journal Article
  Year 2023 Publication New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 25 Issue 10 Pages 103050 - 13pp  
  Keywords super resolution; spatial demultiplexing; crosstalk; unbalanced sources; Fisher information; measurement precision  
  Abstract Super resolution is one of the key issues at the crossroads of contemporary quantum optics and metrology. Recently, it was shown that for an idealized case of two balanced sources, spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) achieves resolution better than direct imaging even in the presence of measurement crosstalk (Gessner et al 2020 Phys. Rev. Lett. 125 100501). In this work, we consider arbitrarily unbalanced sources and provide a systematic analysis of the impact of crosstalk on the resolution obtained from SPADE. As we dissect, in this generalized scenario, SPADE's effectiveness depends non-trivially on the strength of crosstalk, relative brightness and the separation between the sources. In particular, for any source imbalance, SPADE performs worse than ideal direct imaging in the asymptotic limit of vanishing source separations. Nonetheless, for realistic values of crosstalk strength, SPADE is still the superior method for several orders of magnitude of source separations.
