Vortex State of Ultralight Dark Matter and the Fornax Timing Problem

We investigate the impact of the vortex state of the ultralight dark matter (ULDM) on the dynamical friction acting on moving globular clusters. Comparing this force with that for the solitonic ground state, it is shown that the internal structure and rotation of the ULDM core strongly affect the orbital decay of globular clusters. In particular, co-directional rotation in a vortex state can lead to significant suppression of dynamic friction at certain distances where globular clusters and ULDM velocities match. Applying these findings to the Fornax dwarf galaxy, it is found that the Fornax timing problem is naturally alleviated.

Extension of the Standard Model with Chern-Simons type interaction

Extension of the Standard Model with Chern-Simons type interaction contains a new vector massive boson (Chern-Simons boson) that couples to electroweak gauge bosons by the so-called effective Chern-Simons interaction. There is no direct interaction between the Chern-Simons bosons and SM fermions. We consider existing restrictions on the parameters of this SM extension, the effective loop interaction of a new vector boson with SM fermions, and the possibility of the manifestation of the long-lived GeV-scale Chern-Simons bosons in collider experiments.

The active muon shield in the SHiP experiment

The SHiP experiment is designed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. An essential task for the experiment is to keep the Standard Model background level to less than 0.1 event after $2\times 10^{20}$ protons on target. In the beam dump, around $10^{11}$ muons will be produced per second. The muon rate in the spectrometer has to be reduced by at least four orders of magnitude to avoid muon-induced combinatorial background. A novel active muon shield is used to magnetically deflect the muons out of the acceptance of the spectrometer. This paper describes the basic principle of such a shield, its optimization and its performance.
