Baryogenesis from the weak scale to the grand unification scale

D Bödeker, W Buchmüller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
The current status of baryogenesis is reviewed, with an emphasis on electroweak
baryogenesis and leptogenesis. The first detailed studies were carried out for SU (5) grand …

Neutrino self-interactions: A white paper

JM Berryman, N Blinov, V Brdar, T Brinckmann… - Physics of the Dark …, 2023 - Elsevier
Abstract Neutrinos are the Standard Model (SM) particles which we understand the least,
often due to how weakly they interact with the other SM particles. Beyond this, very little is …

The present and future status of heavy neutral leptons

AM Abdullahi, PB Alzás, B Batell… - Journal of Physics G …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The existence of nonzero neutrino masses points to the likely existence of multiple Standard
Model neutral fermions. When such states are heavy enough that they cannot be produced …

Constraints on dark matter properties from observations of Milky Way satellite galaxies

EO Nadler, A Drlica-Wagner, K Bechtol, S Mau… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the
fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities …

Deep Search for Decaying Dark Matter with XMM-Newton Blank-Sky Observations

JW Foster, M Kongsore, C Dessert, Y Park, NL Rodd… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
Sterile neutrinos with masses in the keV range are well-motivated extensions to the
Standard Model that could explain the observed neutrino masses while also making up the …

Irreducible axion background

K Langhoff, NJ Outmezguine, NL Rodd - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Searches for dark matter decaying into photons constrain its lifetime to be many orders of
magnitude larger than the age of the Universe. A corollary statement is that the abundance …

Long-exposure NuSTAR constraints on decaying dark matter in the Galactic halo

BM Roach, S Rossland, KCY Ng, K Perez, JF Beacom… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We present two complementary NuSTAR x-ray searches for keV-scale dark matter decaying
to monoenergetic photons in the Milky Way halo. In the first, we utilize the known intensity …

[HTML][HTML] Sterile neutrinos

B Dasgupta, J Kopp - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
Neutrinos, being the only fermions in the Standard Model of Particle Physics that do not
possess electromagnetic or color charges, have the unique opportunity to communicate with …

Putting all the X in one basket: Updated X-ray constraints on sub-GeV Dark Matter

M Cirelli, N Fornengo, J Koechler… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Sub-GeV dark matter particles can annihilate or decay producing e±pairs which upscatter
the low-energy photon fields in the Galaxy and generate an X-ray emission (via the Inverse …

[HTML][HTML] Snowmass2021 theory frontier white paper: Astrophysical and cosmological probes of dark matter

KK Boddy, M Lisanti, SD McDermott, NL Rodd… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Elsevier
While astrophysical and cosmological probes provide a remarkably precise and consistent
picture of the quantity and general properties of dark matter, its fundamental nature remains …
