Camargo-Molina JE, Rajantie A, 2022, Phase transitions in de Sitter: The stochastic formalism
The stochastic spectral expansion method offers a simple framework forcalculations in de Sitter spacetimes. We show how to extend its reach tometastable vacuum states, both in the case when the potential is bounded frombelow, and when it is unbounded from below and therefore no stable vacuum stateexists. In both cases, the decay rate of the metastable vacuum is given by thelowest non-zero eigenvalue associated to the Fokker-Planck equation. We showhow the corresponding eigenfunction determines the field probabilitydistribution which can be used to compute correlation functions and otherobservables in the metastable vacuum state.
Camargo-Molina JE, González MC, Rajantie A, 2022, Phase Transitions in de Sitter: Quantum Corrections
We investigate the decay rate of a false vacuum state in de Sitter space athigh Hubble rates, using two methods: the Hawking-Moss instanton method whichis fully quantum mechanical but relies on the saddle-point approximation, andthe Starobinsky-Yokoyama stochastic approach which is non-perturbative but doesnot include quantum effects. We use the flux-over-population method to computethe Hawking-Moss decay rate at one-loop order, and demonstrate that in itsdomain of validity, it is reproduced by the stochastic calculation using theone-loop constraint effective potential. This suggests that the stochasticapproach together with the constraint effective potential can be used toaccurately describe vacuum decay beyond the saddle-point approximation.

Camargo-Molina JE, Markkanen T, Scott P, 2019, Dark energy without fine tuning, The Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 44, Pages: 1-14, ISSN: 1029-8479
We present a two-field model that realises inflation and the observed density of dark energy today, whilst solving the fine-tuning problems inherent in quintessence models. One field acts as the inflaton, generically driving the other to a saddle-point of the potential, from which it acts as a quintessence field following electroweak symmetry breaking. The model exhibits essentially no sensitivity to the initial value of the quintessence field, naturally suppresses its interactions with other fields, and automatically endows it with a small effective mass in the late Universe. The magnitude of dark energy today is fixed by the height of the saddle point in the potential, which is dictated entirely by the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking.

A unification of left-right SU(3)L×SU(3)R, color SU(3)C, and family SU(3)F symmetries in a maximal rank-8 subgroup of E8 is proposed as a landmark for future explorations beyond the Standard Model (SM). We discuss the implications of this scheme in a supersymmetric (SUSY) model based on the trinification gauge [SU(3)]3 and global SU(3)F-family symmetries. Among the key properties of this model are the unification of SM Higgs and lepton sectors, a common Yukawa coupling for chiral fermions, the absence of the μ problem, gauge couplings unification, and proton stability to all orders in perturbation theory. The minimal field content consistent with a SM-like effective theory at low energies is composed of one E6 27-plet per generation as well as three gauge and one family SU(3) octets inspired by the fundamental sector of E8. The details of the corresponding (SUSY and gauge) symmetry-breaking scheme, multiscale gauge couplings' evolution, and resulting effective low-energy scenarios are discussed.

Camargo-Molina JE, Mandal T, Pasechnik R, et al., 2018, Heavy charged scalars from c(s)over-bar fusion: a generic search strategy applied to a 3HDM with U(1) x U(1) family symmetry, Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2018, Pages: 1-26, ISSN: 1029-8479
We describe a class of three Higgs doublet models (3HDMs) with a softly broken U(1) × U(1) family symmetry that enforces a Cabibbo-like quark mixing while forbidding tree-level flavour changing neutral currents. The hierarchy in the observed quark masses is partly explained by a softer hierarchy in the vacuum expectation values of the three Higgs doublets. As a consequence, the physical scalar spectrum contains a Standard Model (SM) like Higgs boson h125 while exotic scalars couple the strongest to the second quark family, leading to rather unconventional discovery channels that could be probed at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, we describe a search strategy for the lightest charged Higgs boson H±, through the process cs⎯⎯→H+→W+h125, using a multivariate analysis that leads to an excellent discriminatory power against the SM background. Although the analysis is applied to the proposed class of 3HDMs, we employ a model-independent formulation such that it can be applied to any other model with the same discovery channel.

Camargo-Molina JE, Morais AP, Pasechnik R, et al., 2016, On a radiative origin of the Standard Model from trinification, Journal of High Energy Physics, Vol: 2016, ISSN: 1029-8479
In this work, we present a trinification-based grand unified theory incorporating a global SU(3) family symmetry that after a spontaneous breaking leads to a left-right symmetric model. Already at the classical level, this model can accommodate the matter content and the quark Cabbibo mixing in the Standard Model (SM) with only one Yukawa coupling at the unification scale. Considering the minimal low-energy scenario with the least amount of light states, we show that the resulting effective theory enables dynamical breaking of its gauge group down to that of the SM by means of radiative corrections accounted for by the renormalisation group evolution at one loop. This result paves the way for a consistent explanation of the SM breaking scale and fermion mass hierarchies.

We analyse the low energy predictions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) arising from a GUT scale Pati-Salam gauge group further constrained by an A 4 × Z 5 family symmetry, resulting in four soft scalar masses at the GUT scale: one left-handed soft mass m 0 and three right-handed soft masses m 1 , m 2 , m 3, one for each generation. We demonstrate that this model, which was initially developed to describe the neutrino sector, can explain collider and non-collider measurements such as the dark matter relic density, the Higgs boson mass and, in particular, the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g − 2) μ . Since about two decades, (g − 2) μ suffers a puzzling about 3σ excessoftheexperimentallymeasuredvalueoverthetheoreticalprediction,whichour model is able to fully resolve. As the consequence of this resolution, our model predicts specific regions of the parameter space with the specific properties including light smuons and neutralinos, which could also potentially explain di-lepton excesses observed by CMS and ATLAS.

Bechtle P, Camargo-Molina JE, Desch K, et al., 2016, Killing the cMSSM softly, European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, Vol: 76, ISSN: 1434-6044
We investigate the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (cMSSM) in the light of constraining experimental and observational data from precision measurements, astrophysics, direct supersymmetry searches at the LHC and measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson, by means of a global fit using the program Fittino. As in previous studies, we find rather poor agreement of the best fit point with the global data. We also investigate the stability of the electro-weak vacuum in the preferred region of parameter space around the best fit point. We find that the vacuum is metastable, with a lifetime significantly longer than the age of the Universe. For the first time in a global fit of supersymmetry, we employ a consistent methodology to evaluate the goodness-of-fit of the cMSSM in a frequentist approach by deriving p values from large sets of toy experiments. We analyse analytically and quantitatively the impact of the choice of the observable set on the p value, and in particular its dilution when confronting the model with a large number of barely constraining measurements. Finally, for the preferred sets of observables, we obtain p values for the cMSSM below 10 %, i.e. we exclude the cMSSM as a model at the 90 % confidence level.
Camargo-Molina JE, Wessén J, Pasechnik R, 2016, Charged scalars from SU(3)<sup>3</sup> theories
Inspired by a recently proposed GUT model based on the trinification (SU(3)3) gauge group with a global family (SU(3)F) symmetry, we consider an effective low-energy three Higgs doublet model that may shed light on what underlies the observed fermion mass hierarchies and CKM mixing. We discuss possibilities for charged scalars coming from this model to show in collider experiments and show some interesting benchmark points.
Camargo-Molina JE, Pasechnik R, Wessén J, et al., 2016, On a radiative origin of the standard model in non-supersymmetric trinification with global SU(3)<inf>F</inf>
We present a trinification-based grand unified theory incorporating a global SU(3)F family symmetry, that after spontaneous symmetry breaking leads to a left-right symmetric model. In addition to unification of gauge couplings, the model unifies Yukawa interactions and contains equivalent representations in the scalar and fermion sectors at high energy scales. Considering the minimal low-energy scenario with the least amount of light states, we show that the resulting effective theory enables dynamical breaking of its gauge group to that of the Standard Model by means of radiative corrections accounted for by the renormalisation group evolution at leading order. This result paves the way for a possible explanation of the SM breaking scale and fermion mass hierarchies.
