Light degrees of freedom that modify gravity on cosmological scales must be "screened" on solar system scales in order to be compatible with data. The Vainshtein mechanism achieves this through a breakdown of classical perturbation theory, as large i... Read More about The Parametrized Post-Newtonian-Vainshteinian formalism.

Cold Baryogenesis from first principles in the two-Higgs doublet model with fermions (2015)
Journal Article
Mou, Z., Saffin, P. M., & Tranberg, A. (2015). Cold Baryogenesis from first principles in the two-Higgs doublet model with fermions. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015, https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP06%282015%29163

We present a first-principles numerical computation of the baryon asymmetry in electroweak-scale baryogenesis. For the scenario of Cold Baryogenesis, we consider a one fermion-family reduced CP-violating two Higgs-doublet model, including a classical...

Unitarity and the Vainshtein mechanism (2015)
Journal Article
Kaloper, N., Padilla, A., Saffin, P. M., & Stefanyszyn, D. (2015). Unitarity and the Vainshtein mechanism. Physical Review D, 91(4), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.91.045017

We investigate low energy limits of massive gauge theories that feature the Vainshtein mechanism, focussing on the effects of the UV modes that are integrated out. It turns out that the Goldstone sectors are significantly influenced by the effects fr... Read More about Unitarity and the Vainshtein mechanism.
