Dark matter (DM) remains one of the most profound mysteries in fundamental physics, motivating a wide array of theoretical models and experimental searches. Axions or axion-like-particles are theoretically well-motivated as they generically arise in models with a spontaneously broken global symmetry. They could either be good DM candidates or mediate the interactions between DM and the...

We construct an explicit example of such a model which violates baryon number by one unit, $\Delta \text{B} = -1$, and lepton number by three units, $\Delta \text{L} = -3$, and show that despite stringent limits on the predicted $p \rightarrow e^{+}/\mu^{+} \overline{\nu}\overline{\nu}$ mode from the Super-Kamiokande experiment, the masses of the newly introduced elementary particles can be...

Results from the CMS experiment are presented for supersymmetry searches targeting so-called compressed spectra, with small mass splittings between the different supersymmetric partners. Such a spectrum presents unique experimental challenges. This talk describes the new techniques utilized by CMS to address such difficult scenarios and presents results based on these techniques.

We study the physics potential of heavy QCD axions at high-energy muon colliders. Unlike typical axion-like particles, heavy QCD axions solve the strong CP problem with phenomenology driven by the anomalous gluon ($aG\widetilde G$) couplings. Several ultraviolet scenarios are presented in which QCD axions with TeV-scale masses and decay constants arise consistently with a solution to both the...
