Quantum gravity effects on dark matter and gravitational waves

SF King, R Roshan, X Wang, G White, M Yamazaki - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We explore how quantum gravity effects, manifested through the breaking of discrete
symmetry responsible for both dark matter and domain walls, can have observational effects …

Portals into Higgs vacuum stability

G Hiller, T Höhne, DF Litim, T Steudtner - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We address the notorious metastability of the Standard Model (SM) and promote it to a
model building task: What are the new ingredients required to stabilize the SM up to the …

Electroweak phase transition and gravitational waves in a two-component dark matter model

A Mohamadnejad - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We investigate an extension of the Standard Model (SM) with two candidates for
dark matter (DM). One of them is a real scalar field and the other is an Abelian gauge field …

Thermally corrected masses and freeze-in dark matter: A case study

N Chakrabarty, P Konar, R Roshan, S Show - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
If coupled feebly to the Standard Model bath, dark matter can evade the severe constraints
from the direct search experiments. At the same time, such interactions help produce dark …

Scalar multiplet dark matter in a fast expanding Universe: Resurrection of the desert region

B Barman, P Ghosh, FS Queiroz, AK Saha - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We examine the impact of a faster expanding Universe on the phenomenology of scalar
dark matter (DM) associated with SU (2) L multiplets. Earlier works with a radiation …

The Z7 model of three-component scalar dark matter

G Bélanger, A Pukhov, CE Yaguna… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We investigate, for the first time, a scenario where the dark matter consists of three
complex scalar fields that are stabilized by a single Z 7 symmetry. As an extension of the …

Gravitational wave effects and phenomenology of a two-component dark matter model

M Hosseini, SY Ayazi, A Mohamadnejad - The European Physical Journal …, 2024 - Springer
We study an extension of the Standard Model (SM) which could have two candidates for
dark matter (DM) including a Dirac fermion and a vector dark matter (VDM) under a new U …

Reopening the portal with semi-annihilations

MJ Domínguez, O Rodríguez, Ó Zapata - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In one-component dark matter (DM) scenarios is commonly assumed that a scalar weakly
interacting massive particle must either be part of an SU (2) L multiplet with zero …

U (1)-charged Dark Matter in three-Higgs-doublet models

A Kunčinas, P Osland, MN Rebelo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We explore three-Higgs-doublet models that may accommodate scalar Dark Matter
where the stability is based on an unbroken U (1)-based symmetry, rather than the familiar ℤ …

Two-component doublet-triplet scalar dark matter stabilizing the electroweak vacuum

N Chakrabarty, R Roshan, A Sil - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
A two-component scalar dark matter scenario comprising an additional scalar doublet and a
Y= 0 scalar triplet is proposed. Key features of the ensuing dark matter phenomenology are …
