Dark matter spectra from the electroweak to the Planck scale

CW Bauer, NL Rodd, BR Webber - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We compute the decay spectrum for dark matter (DM) with masses above the scale
of electroweak symmetry breaking, all the way to the Planck scale. For an arbitrary hard …

Supercool composite dark matter beyond 100 TeV

I Baldes, Y Gouttenoire, F Sala, G Servant - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Dark Matter could be a composite state of a confining sector with an approximate
scale symmetry. We consider the case where the associated pseudo-Goldstone boson, the …

Dark matter spikes around Sgr A* in γ-rays

S Balaji, D Sachdeva, F Sala, J Silk - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We use HESS γ-ray observations of Sgr A* to derive novel limits on the Dark Matter (DM)
annihilation cross-section. We quantify their dependence on uncertainties i) in the DM halo …

Z Cao, F Aharonian, Q An, Axikegu, LX Bai, YX Bai… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory
(LHAASO) aims at surveying the northern γ-ray sky at energies above 10 TeV with …

[HTML][HTML] Precise dark matter relic abundance in decoupled sectors

T Bringmann, PF Depta, M Hufnagel… - Physics Letters B, 2021 - Elsevier
Dark matter (DM) as a thermal relic of the primordial plasma is increasingly pressured by
direct and indirect searches, while the same production mechanism in a decoupled sector is …

Seesaw neutrino determination of the dark matter relic density

R Coy, A Gupta, T Hambye - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In this article we show that in the usual type-I seesaw framework, augmented solely by a
neutrino portal interaction, the dark matter (DM) relic density can be created through freeze …

Domain of thermal dark matter candidates

R Coy, T Hambye, MHG Tytgat, L Vanderheyden - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We consider, in general terms, the possible parameter space of thermal dark matter
candidates. We assume that the dark matter particle is fundamental and was in thermal …

Cosmological constraints on the decay of heavy relics into neutrinos

T Hambye, M Hufnagel, M Lucca - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
A massive particle decaying into neutrinos in the early Universe is known to be less
constrained than if it was decaying into other standard model particles. However, even if the …

A closer look at the seesaw-dark matter correspondence

R Coy, A Gupta - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract In an earlier work [1], we showed that in very simple neutrino portal-like extensions
of the Standard Model it is possible to achieve a one-to-one correspondence between dark …

The domain of a cannibal dark matter

M Hufnagel, MHG Tytgat - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider a scenario in which the dark matter is alone in a hidden sector and consists of a
real scalar particle with a manifest or spontaneously broken Bbb Z 2 symmetry, at a …
