EOS version 1.1: A Software for Flavor Physics Phenomenology

EOS is an open-source software package for a variety of computational tasks in flavor physics. In this article, we describe new developments for version 1.1 of this software and discuss changes with respect to version 1.0. These developments and changes include theory predictions for additional decay and scattering processes, such as semileptonic charm decays, hadronic tau decays, and $e^+e^- \to$ hadrons scattering. Overall, these changes have contributed 1063 additional (pseudo-)observables. Beyond the physics capabilities of the software, the changes include improving the quality and reducing the computational costs of posterior sampling; providing a more versatile and testable figure framework; and improving the overall user experience.

ALPs and HNLs at LHC and Muon Colliders: Uncovering New Couplings and Signals

Axion-like particles (ALPs) and heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are two well-motivated classes of particles beyond the Standard Model. It is intriguing to explore the new detection opportunities that may arise if both particle types coexist. Part of the authors already investigated this scenario in a previous publication, within a simplified model containing an ALP and a single HNL, identifying particularly promising processes that could be searched for at the LHC. In this paper, we first consider the same setup with a broader range of both production processes and final states, both at the High-Luminosity LHC and at a future muon collider. Subsequently, we expand it to the more realistic scenario with at least two HNLs, necessary to describe the active neutrino masses. Different phenomenological signals are expected and we examine the complexities that emerge in this setup. This study paves the way for dedicated analysis at (forthcoming) colliders, potentially pinpointing the dynamics of ALPs and HNLs.
