analysis strategies for general spin-independent wimp-nucleus scattering
simplified dark matter models have been recently advocated as a powerful tool to exploit the complementarity between dark matter direct detection, indirect detection and lhc experimental probes. focusing on pseudoscalar mediators between the dark and visible sectors, we show that the simplified dark matter model phenom...
simplified models for dark matter face their consistent completions
dark matter (dm) simplified models are by now commonly used by the atlas and cms collaborations to interpret searches for missing transverse energy ($e_t^\mathrm{miss}$). the coherent use of these models sharpened the lhc dm search program, especially in the presentation of its results and their comparison to dm direct...
lhc dark matter working group: next-generation spin-0 dark matter models
by applying pressures up to 42 gpa on the nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride (luh2+xny), we have found a gradual change of color from dark-blue to pink-violet in the pressure region of about 12 to 21 gpa. the temperature dependence of resistivity under pressures up to 50.5 gpa shows progressively optimized metallic behavi...
pressure induced color change and evolution of metallic behavior in nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride
the similarity between the distributions of spins for galaxies (λgal) and for dark-matter haloes (λhalo), indicated both by simulations and observations, is naively interpreted as a one-to-one correlation between the spins of a galaxy and its host halo. this is used to predict galaxy sizes in semi-analytic models via r...
is the dark-matter halo spin a predictor of galaxy spin and size?
we study the scenario of dark photon dark matter where the mass is generated through the higgs mechanism rather than the constant stueckelberg mass. in this construction the dark sector contains necessarily extra degrees of freedom and interactions that lead to non-trivial dynamics including thermalization, phase trans...
dark photon dark matter without stueckelberg mass
the processes of star formation and feedback, regulating the cycle of matter between gas and stars on the scales of giant molecular clouds (gmcs; ~100 pc), play a major role in governing galaxy evolution. measuring the time-scales of gmc evolution is important to identify and characterize the specific physical mechanis...

we report on a novel phenomenon of the resonance effect of primordial density perturbations arisen from a sound speed parameter with an oscillatory behavior, which can generically lead to the formation of primordial black holes in the early universe. for a general inflaton field, it can seed primordial density fluctuat...
primordial black holes from sound speed resonance during inflation
fuzzy dark matter is an exciting alternative to the standard cold dark matter paradigm, reproducing its large scale predictions, while solving most of the existing tension with small scale observations. these models postulate that dark matter is constituted by light bosons and predict the condensation of a solitonic co...
parasitic black holes: the swallowing of a fuzzy dark matter soliton
in light of the excess in the low-energy electron recoil events reported by xenon1t, many new physics scenarios have been proposed as a possible origin of the excess. one possible explanation is that the excess is a result of a fast moving dark matter (dm), with velocity v ∼ 0.05-0.20 and mass between 1 mev and 10 gev,...

we report the discovery of a remarkable concentration of massive galaxies with extended x-ray emission at z spec = 2.506, which contains 11 massive (m * ≳ 1011 m ⊙) galaxies in the central 80 kpc region (11.6σ overdensity). we have spectroscopically confirmed 17 member galaxies with 11 from co and the remaining ones fr...

light dark matter is a compelling experimental target in light of stringent constraints on heavier wimps. however, for a sub-mev wimp, the universe is sufficiently well understood at temperatures below 10 mev that there is no room for it to be a thermal relic. avoiding thermalization is itself a strong constraint with ...
the cosmology of sub-mev dark matter
the possibility that part of the dark matter is made of massive compact halo objects (machos) remains poorly constrained over a wide range of masses, and especially in the 20 - 100 m⊙ window. we show that strong gravitational lensing of extragalactic fast radio bursts (frbs) by machos of masses larger than ∼20 m⊙ would...
lensing of fast radio bursts as a probe of compact dark matter
elastic neutrino-electron scattering represents a powerful tool to investigate key neutrino properties. in view of the recent results released by the lux-zeplin collaboration, we provide a first determination of the limits achievable on the neutrino magnetic moment and neutrino millicharge, whose effect becomes non-neg...

we consider a cosmological model in which a fraction fdcdm of the dark matter (dm) is allowed to decay in an invisible relativistic component, and compute the resulting constraints on both the decay width (or inverse lifetime) γdcdm and fdcdm from purely gravitational arguments. we report a full derivation of the boltz...
a fresh look at linear cosmological constraints on a decaying dark matter component
the electroweak (ew) sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (mssm) can account for a variety of experimental data. in particular it can explain the persistent 3 -4 σ discrepancy between the experimental result for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, (g-2 ) μ, and its standard model (sm) prediction. ...
improved (g-2 ) μ measurements and wino/higgsino dark matter
axions are a promising cold dark matter candidate. haloscopes, which use the conversion of axions to photons in the presence of a magnetic field to detect axions, are the basis of microwave cavity searches such as the axion dark matter experiment (admx). to search for lighter, low frequency axions in the sub- 2 ×10-7 e...

in many cosmological inference problems, the likelihood (the probability of the observed data as a function of the unknown parameters) is unknown or intractable. this necessitates approximations and assumptions, which can lead to incorrect inference of cosmological parameters, including the nature of dark matter and da...

numerous theories extending beyond the standard model of particle physics predict the existence of bosons that could constitute dark matter. in the standard halo model of galactic dark matter, the velocity distribution of the bosonic dark matter field defines a characteristic coherence time τc. until recently, laborato...
stochastic fluctuations of bosonic dark matter
after about two decades of the first observational papers confirming the accelerated expansion of the universe, we are still facing the question whether the cause of it is a rigid cosmological constant λ-term or a mildly evolving dynamical dark energy (dde). while studies focusing mainly on cmb measurements do not perc...
dynamical dark energy vs. λ = const in light of observations
neutrino emission in coincidence with gamma rays has been observed from the blazar txs 0506 +056 by the icecube telescope. neutrinos from the blazar had to pass through a dense spike of dark matter (dm) surrounding the central black hole. the observation of such a neutrino implies new upper bounds on the neutrino-dm sc...
blazar constraints on neutrino-dark matter scattering
the particle that makes up the dark matter of the universe could be an axion or axionlike particle. a collection of axions can condense into a bound bose-einstein condensate called an axion star. it is possible that a significant fraction of the axion dark matter is in the form of axion stars. this would make some effo...
colloquium: the physics of axion stars
future observations of cosmic microwave background (cmb) polarisation have the potential to answer some of the most fundamental questions of modern physics and cosmology, including: what physical process gave birth to the universe we see today? what are the dark matter and dark energy that seem to constitute 95% of the...

the detection of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering by the coherent collaboration has set on quantitative grounds the existence of an irreducible neutrino background in direct detection searches of weakly interacting massive dark matter candidates. this background leads to an ultimate discovery limit for these experi...
neutrino discovery limit of dark matter direct detection experiments in the presence of non-standard interactions
in a mirror twin world with a maximally symmetric higgs sector the little hierarchy of the standard model can be significantly mitigated, perhaps displacing the cutoff scale above the lhc reach. we show that consistency with observations requires that the z 2 parity exchanging the standard model with its mirror be brok...

we introduce a set of minimal simplified models for dark matter interactions with the standard model, connecting the two sectors via either a scalar or pseudoscalar particle. these models have a wider regime of validity for dark matter searches at the lhc than the effective field theory approach, while still allowing s...
scalar simplified models for dark matter
we discover that chiral symmetry does not act as an infrared attractor of the renormalization group flow under the impact of quantum gravity fluctuations. thus, observationally viable quantum gravity models must respect chiral symmetry. in our truncation, asymptotically safe gravity does, as a chiral fixed point exists...

we present a common chiral power-counting scheme for vector, axial-vector, scalar, and pseudoscalar wimp-nucleon interactions, and derive all one- and two-body currents up to third order in the chiral expansion. matching our amplitudes to non-relativistic effective field theory, we find that chiral symmetry predicts a ...
chiral power counting of one- and two-body currents in direct detection of dark matter
the singlet-doublet model of dark matter is a minimal extension of the standard model with dark matter that is a mixture of a singlet and a non-chiral pair of electroweak doublet fermions. the stability of dark matter is ensured by the typical parity symmetry, and, similar to a `bino-higgsino' system, the extra matter ...
singlet-doublet model: dark matter searches and lhc constraints
we propose to relate dark matter stability to the possible dirac nature of neutrinos. the idea is illustrated in a simple scheme where small dirac neutrino masses arise from a type-i seesaw mechanism as a result of a z4 discrete lepton number symmetry. the latter implies the existence of a viable wimp dark matter candi...
dirac neutrinos and dark matter stability from lepton quarticity
dark matter scattering off a nucleus has a small probability of inducing an observable ionization through the inelastic excitation of an electron, called the migdal effect. we use an effective field theory to extend the computation of the migdal effect in semiconductors to regions of small momentum transfer to the nucl...
the migdal effect in semiconductors for dark matter with masses below ∼ 100 mev
higgsino in supersymmetric standard models is known to be a promising candidate for dark matter in the universe. its phenomenological property is strongly affected by the gaugino fraction in the higgsino-like state. if this is sizable, in other words, if gaugino masses are less than o (10) tev, we may probe the higgsin...
higgsino dark matter or not: role of disappearing track searches at the lhc and future colliders
the existence of millicharged dark matter (mdm) can leave a measurable imprint on 21-cm cosmology through mdm-baryon scattering. however, the minimal scenario is severely constrained by existing cosmological bounds on both the fraction of dark matter that can be millicharged and the mass of mdm particles. we point out ...

several new physics scenarios, motivated e.g. by dark matter, feature new electroweakly charged states where the lightest particle in the multiplet is stable and neutral. in such cases direct searches at lhc are notoriously difficult, while electroweak precision tests both at hadron and lepton colliders offer the possi...

we present a novel scenario in which light (~few ev) dark fermions (sterile neutrinos) interact with a scalar field as in mass-varying neutrino dark energy theories. as the ev sterile states naturally become nonrelativistic before the matter-radiation equality (mre), we show that the neutrino-scalar fluid develops stro...

neutron stars close to the galactic center are expected to swim in a dense background of dark matter. for models in which the dark matter has efficient interactions with neutrons, they are expected to accumulate their own local cloud of dark matter, making them appealing targets for observations seeking signs of dark m...
bounds on long-lived dark matter mediators from neutron stars
cosmological neutrinos have their greatest influence in voids: these are the regions with the highest neutrino to dark matter density ratios. the marked power spectrum can be used to emphasize low-density regions over high-density regions and, therefore, is potentially much more sensitive than the power spectrum to the...

several bright and massive galaxy candidates at high redshifts have been recently observed by the james webb space telescope. such early massive galaxies seem difficult to reconcile with standard λ cold dark matter model predictions. we discuss under which circumstances such observed massive galaxy candidates can be ex...
