in order to reveal the nature of dark matter, it is crucial to detect its non-gravitational interactions with the standard model particles. the traditional dark matter searches focused on the so-called weakly interacting massive particles. however, this paradigm is strongly constrained by the null results of current ex...
chapter 5 dark matter and new physics beyond the standard model with lhaaso
in this review, we summarize the results of the analysis of the inherent relation between the higgs mechanism and spacetime symmetry provided by generic incorporation of the de sitter vacuum as a false vacuum with the equation of state p=‑ρ. this relation has been verified by the application for the interpretation of t...

observations of the extragalactic radio background have uncovered a significant isotropic emission across multiple frequencies spanning from 22 mhz to 10 ghz. the intensity of this nonthermal emission component significantly exceeds the expected contribution from known astrophysical sources. interestingly, models have ...
anisotropy of the extragalactic radio background from dark matter annihilation
from astronomical observations, we know that dark matter exists and makes up $\sim$25\% of our universe. recently the study of anomalous gamma-ray emission in the regions surrounding the galactic center has drawn a lot of attention. it has been pointed out that the excess of 1-3 gev gamma-ray in the low latitude is con...
galactic center gamma-ray excess and higgs-portal dark matter
we consider higgsino-like dark matter (dm) in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (mssm) with additional right-handed neutrino chiral superfields, and propose a new non-thermal way of generating the right amount of relic dm via sneutrino late decays. due to the large dm annihilation cross-section, decays must occ...
higgsino-like dark matter from sneutrino late decays
electroweak corrections can play a crucial role in dark matter annihilation. the emission of gauge bosons, in particular, leads to a secondary flux consisting of all standard model particles, and may be described by electroweak fragmentation functions. to assess the quality of the fragmentation function approximation t...
electroweak fragmentation functions for dark matter annihilation
if dark matter decay or annihilate, a large amount of energy and particles would be released into the cosmic plasma. therefore, they could modify the thermal and ionization history of our universe, then leave footprints on the cosmic microwave background power spectra. in this paper, we take dark matter annihilation as...
does the reionization model influence the constraints on dark matter decay or annihilation?
we investigate the possibility of satisfying the su(5) boundary condition yd= yetat the gut scale within the renormalizable r-parity conserving minimal supersymmetric standard model (mssm). working in the super-ckm basis, we consider non-zero flavour off-diagonal entries in the soft susy-breaking mass matrices and the ...

susy global fits
the recent madala hypothesis, a conjecture that seeks to explain anomalies within large hadron collider (lhc) data (particularly in the transverse momentum of the higgs boson), is interesting for more than just a statistical hint at unknown and unpredicted physics. this is because the model itself contains additional n...
what can gamma-rays from space tell us about the madala hypothesis?
the consideration of dark energy is intended to explain the unexpected but observed acceleration of the universe. baryon asymmetry in matter-antimatter initial annihilation is mostly accepted to explain the absence of observations of annihilation radiation that in turn leads to the most accepted hypothesis that we live...

we propose a minimal model for the cosmic coincidence problem $\omega_{\rm dm}/\omega_b \sim 5$ and neutrino mass in a type-ii seesaw scenario. we extend the standard model of particle physics with a $\rm su(2)$ singlet leptonic dirac fermion $\chi$, which represents the candidate of dark matter (dm), and two triplet s...
dark matter to baryon ratio from scalar triplets decay in type-ii seesaw
a possible solution to the dark matter problem postulates that dark particles can interact with standard model particles only through a new force mediated by a “portal”. if the new force has a u(1) gauge structure, the “portal” is a massive photon-like vector particle, called dark photon or a‧. the padme experiment at ...

current problems with the solar model may be alleviated if a significant amount of dark matter from the galactic halo is captured in the sun. we discuss the capture process in the case where the dark matter is a dirac fermion and the background halo consists of equal amounts of dark matter and anti-dark matter. by cons...

we propose a theory of chiral fermion dark matter (dm) with an isospin-3/2 fermion of a dark sector $su(2)_d$ gauge symmetry, which is arguably the simplest chiral theory. an isospin-3 scalar breaks $su(2)_d$ down to a discrete non-abelian group $t'$ and generates the dm mass. the $su(2)_d$ gauge symmetry protects the ...

in a dark left-right gauge model, the neutral component of right-handed lepton doublet is odd under generalized r-parity and thus the lightest one serves as the dark matter (dm) candidate. the coannihilation of the dark matter with the singly charged higgs triplet produces the correct relic abundance. we explain ams-02...

we consider a model with two gauge singlet fermionic wimps communicating with the sm particles by a singlet scalar mediator via a higgs portal. while the light wimp is stable and plays the role of the dark matter (dm) candidate, the heavy partner is a short-lived wimp without contribution to the current dm relic densit...

under rather generic assumptions, we show that, in asymmetric dark matter (adm) scenarios in which the adm sector was in chemical equilibrium with the standard model sector in early epochs, the sign of the b -l asymmetry stored in the dark matter sector and the standard model sector are always the same. one particularl...
asymmetric dark matter in early universe chemical equilibrium always leads to an antineutrino signal
dark matter that was once in thermal equilibrium with the standard model is generally prohibited from obtaining all of its mass from the electroweak phase transition. this implies a new scale of physics and mediator particles to facilitate dark matter annihilation. in this work, we focus on dark matter that annihilates...

for many dark matter models, the annihilation cross section to two-body final states is difficult to probe with current experiments because the dominant annihilation channel is velocity or helicity suppressed. the inclusion of gauge boson radiation for three-body final states can lift the helicity suppression, allowing...

the important roles of the tibetan plateau (tp) atmospheric boundary layer (abl) in climate, weather, and air quality have long been recognized, but little is known about the tp abl climatological features and their west-east discrepancies due to the scarce data in the western tp. based on observational datasets of int...
characteristics of the summer atmospheric boundary layer height over the tibetan plateau and influential factors
the enhancement of the stratospheric sulfate aerosol layer has been proposed as a method of geoengineering to abate global warming. previous modelling studies found that stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (sag) could effectively compensate for the warming by greenhouse gases on the global scale, but also that the ach...
sensitivity of the radiative forcing by stratospheric sulfur geoengineering to the amount and strategy of the so2injection studied with the lmdz-s3a model
four years (2010-2014) of spectral aerosol optical depth (aod) data from 4 indian space research organisation's arfinet (aerosol radiative forcing over india) stations (shillong, agartala, imphal and dibrugarh) in the north-eastern region (ner) of india (lying between 22-30°n and 89-98°e) are synthesized to evolve a re...

under the background of global warming, the eurasian warming features evident spatial heterogeneity, and northeast asia (nea) is one of the regions with the most significant summer warming. based on reanalysis data and the cesm1.2.2 model, we investigated the possible impacts of spring eurasian snowmelt on recent nea s...
