Primordial Nucleosynthesis: from precision cosmology to fundamental physics

F Iocco, G Mangano, G Miele, O Pisanti, PD Serpico - Physics Reports, 2009 - Elsevier
We present an up-to-date review of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). We discuss the main
improvements which have been achieved in the past two decades on the overall theoretical …

New physics of strong interaction and Dark Universe

V Beylin, M Khlopov, V Kuksa, N Volchanskiy - Universe, 2020 - mdpi.com
The history of dark universe physics can be traced from processes in the very early universe
to the modern dominance of dark matter and energy. Here, we review the possible nontrivial …

Primordial black holes

MY Khlopov - Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a profound signature of primordial cosmological
structures and provide a theoretical tool to study nontrivial physics of the early Universe. The …

Can neutron stars constrain dark matter?

C Kouvaris, P Tinyakov - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
Because of their strong gravitational field, neutron stars capture weakly interacting dark
matter particles (WIMPs) more efficiently compared to other stars, including the white dwarfs …

Constraining Asymmetric Dark Matter through observations of compact stars

C Kouvaris, P Tinyakov - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We put constraints on asymmetric dark matter candidates with spin-dependent interactions
based on the simple existence of white dwarfs and neutron stars in globular clusters. For a …

Conformal dynamics for TeV physics and cosmology

F Sannino - arXiv preprint arXiv:0911.0931, 2009 - arxiv.org
We introduce the topic of dynamical breaking of the electroweak symmetry and its link to
unparticle physics and cosmology. The knowledge of the phase diagram of strongly coupled …

Ultraminimal technicolor and its dark matter technicolor interacting massive particles

TA Ryttov, F Sannino - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2008 - APS
We introduce an explicit model with technifermion matter transforming according to multiple
representations of the underlying technicolor gauge group. The model features …

Constraints on the dark matter particle mass from the number of Milky Way satellites

E Polisensky, M Ricotti - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We have conducted N-body simulations of the growth of Milky Way-sized halos in cold and
warm dark matter cosmologies. The number of dark matter satellites in our simulated Milky …

Darkogenesis: A baryon asymmetry from the dark matter sector

J Shelton, KM Zurek - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
In standard models of baryogenesis and of dark matter, the mechanisms which generate the
densities in both sectors are unrelated to each other. In this paper we explore models which …

Excluding light asymmetric bosonic dark matter

C Kouvaris, P Tinyakov - Physical Review Letters, 2011 - APS
We argue that current neutron star observations exclude asymmetric bosonic noninteracting
dark matter in the range from 2 keV to 16 GeV, including the 5–15 GeV range favored by …
