Abstract: We explore a simple and predictive dark matter scenario involving a complex scalar field, ϕ, cou- pled to the Higgs portal with no additional field content. In the UV, the field possesses a global U (1) symmetry which is broken by mass terms and Higgs portal interactions. In the mass...

Abstract: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides a powerful probe of neutrinos and other rela- tivistic species in the early universe. In this talk, I will present a robust, model-agnostic framework for detecting the unique phase shift imprinted in the CMB acoustic peaks by free-streaming par- ticles. I will introduce two complementary...

Abstract: FASER, and it's associated neutrino experiment FASERν, was conceived to study high energy neutrinos produced at the ATLAS interaction point. It can also be used to study light and feebly interacting BSM particles produced in the forward direction. FASER and FASERν have been collecting data since 2022 (Run 3) and has already produced many...
