Gravitational portals in the early Universe

S Clery, Y Mambrini, KA Olive, S Verner - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We consider the production of matter and radiation during reheating after inflation, restricting
our attention solely to gravitational interactions. Processes considered are the exchange of a …

Gravitational production of dark matter during reheating

Y Mambrini, KA Olive - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We consider the direct s-channel gravitational production of dark matter during the reheating
process. Independent of the identity of the dark matter candidate or its nongravitational …

Axion-like particle (ALP) portal freeze-in dark matter confronting ALP search experiments

DK Ghosh, A Ghoshal, S Jeesun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract The relic density of Dark Matter (DM) in the freeze-in scenario is highly dependent
on the evolution history of the universe and changes significantly in a non-standard (NS) …

Gravitational production of spin- particles during reheating

K Kaneta, W Ke, Y Mambrini, KA Olive, S Verner - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We compute the density of a spin-3 2 particle, the raritron, produced at the end of inflation
due to gravitational interactions. We consider a background inflaton condensate as the …

Gravitational SIMPs

B Barman, N Bernal - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the impact of thermalization and number-changing processes in the dark sector on
the yield of gravitationally produced dark matter (DM). We take into account the DM …

Field Theory (LEFT) can be extended by adding additional spin 0, 1/2 and 1 dark matter …

Effective theories with dark matter applications

S Bhattacharya, J Wudka - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2021 - World Scientific
Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has achieved enormous success in describing the
interactions among the known fundamental constituents of nature, yet it fails to describe …

A bstract Displaced vertices at colliders, arising from the production and decay of long-lived
particles, probe dark matter candidates produced via freeze-in. If one assumes a standard …

Probing pre-BBN era with scale invariant FIMP

B Barman, A Ghoshal - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Detecting dark matter (DM) relic via freeze-in is difficult in laboratories due to smallness of
the couplings involved. However, a non-standard cosmological history of the Universe, prior …
