Exploring Quantized Axion Electrodynamics in Magnetic Topological Insulator Multilayer Heterostructures (Final Technical Report)

The current program is focusing on investigating the properties of the high Chern number quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in magnetic topological insulator (TI) multilayer heterostructures and the exploration of the topological magnetoelectric effect in thick magnetic TI films/heterostructures. Our program includes both experimental and theoretical efforts on this topic.

Displaced searches for Axion-Like Particles and Heavy Neutral Leptons at Mu3e

We present strategies for the Mu3e experiment to search for light, weakly coupled particles produced in rare muon decays, focusing on displaced e+e− decays within the hollow target. In most scenarios the backgrounds can be fully suppressed with a suitable set of cuts. We furthermore quantify the interplay between displaced and prompt searches at Mu3e and existing constraints, showing how Mu3e has a unique opportunity to probe unexplored parameter space.

Analytic bounds on late-time axion-scalar cosmologies

The cosmological dynamics of multiple scalar/pseudoscalar fields are difficult to solve, especially when the field-space metric is curved. This presents a challenge in determining whether a given model can support cosmic acceleration, without solving for the on-shell solution. In this work, we present bounds on late-time FLRW-cosmologies in classes of theories that involve arbitrary numbers of scalar and pseudoscalar fields coupled both kinetically (leading to a curved field space metric) and through scalar potentials. Such bounds are proven analytically, independently of initial conditions, with no approximation in the field equations and without referring to explicit solutions. Besides their broad applications to cosmological model building, our bounds can be applied to studying asymptotic cosmologies of certain classes of string compactifications.
