Novel astrophysical signatures of beyond the standard model physics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Astrophysical systems provide novel opportunities to search for new physics in regions of parameter space inaccessible to Earth-based experiments. Supernovae, for example, are some of the hottest environments in the Universe, achieving temperatures upwards of tens of MeV; they are consequently uniquely suited to test models of new physics at the MeV scale. In this dissertation, I will show that supernovae (and other astrophysical systems) allow us to probe a wide range of models of new physics, both placing new constraints and suggesting future signals by which we might one day uncover what lies beyond the Standard Model.
