The MAGIC of SSC and how it affects LHC

TL;DR

This paper explores how Supercritical String Cosmology (SSC) impacts dark matter constraints at the LHC and connects these effects to recent astrophysical observations of delayed high-energy photons, using a string theory-based space-time foam model.

Contribution

It introduces a concrete string theory model linking space-time foam to astrophysical photon delays and discusses its implications for dark matter and collider physics.

Findings

SSC influences supersymmetric dark matter predictions at LHC

The space-time foam model explains delayed photon arrivals from distant astrophysical sources

Connections between string theory effects and observational astrophysics are established

Abstract

We discuss the phenomenology of Supercritical String Cosmology (SSC) in the context of Dark Matter constraints on supersymmetric particle physics models at LHC. We also link our results with recent findings of the MAGIC, H.E.S.S. and Fermi Telescopes on delayed arrival of highly energetic photons from the distant Galaxies and GRBs. The link is provided by a concrete model of space-time foam in (supercritical) string theory, involving space-time defects and their interaction with matter in a brane world scenario.
