Origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry

M Dine, A Kusenko - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2003 - APS
Although the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry remains unknown, continuing advances
in theory and improved experimental limits have ruled out some scenarios for baryogenesis …

Cosmological consequences of MSSM flat directions

K Enqvist, A Mazumdar - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
We review the cosmological implications of the flat directions of the minimally
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). We describe how field condensates are created …

Supersymmetry, naturalness, and signatures at the CERN LHC

R Kitano, Y Nomura - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2006 - APS
Weak scale supersymmetry is often said to be fine-tuned, especially if the matter content is
minimal. This is not true if there is a large A term for the top squarks. We present a systematic …

Multi-frequency analysis of neutralino dark matter annihilations in the Coma cluster

S Colafrancesco, S Profumo, P Ullio - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 - aanda.org
We study the astrophysical implications of neutralino dark matter annihilations in galaxy
clusters, with a specific application to the Coma cluster. We first address the determination of …

Direct, indirect and collider detection of neutralino dark matter in SUSY models with non-universal Higgs masses

H Baer, A Mustafayev, S Profumo… - Journal of High …, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
In supersymmetric models with gravity-mediated SUSY breaking, universality of soft SUSY
breaking sfermion masses m 0 is motivated by the need to suppress unwanted flavor …

Nonthermal “WIMP miracle”

BS Acharya, G Kane, S Watson, P Kumar - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2009 - APS
Light scalar fields with only gravitational strength couplings are typically present in UV
complete theories of physics beyond the standard model. In the early universe it is natural …

Moduli-induced gravitino problem

M Endo, K Hamaguchi, F Takahashi - Physical review letters, 2006 - APS
We investigate the cosmological moduli problem by studying a modulus decay in detail and
find that the branching ratio of the gravitino production is generically of O (0.01–1), which …

Dark matter production in late time reheating

K Harigaya, M Kawasaki, K Mukaida, M Yamada - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We estimate dark matter (DM) density for the Universe with a reheating temperature smaller
than the mass of DM, assuming DM to be a weakly interacting massive particle. During the …

Detecting dark matter WIMPs in the Draco dwarf: A multiwavelength perspective

S Colafrancesco, S Profumo, P Ullio - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2007 - APS
We explore the possible signatures of dark matter pair annihilations in the nearby dwarf
spheroidal galaxy Draco. After investigating the mass models for Draco in the light of …

Dynamics of oscillating scalar field in thermal environment

K Mukaida, K Nakayama - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
There often appear coherently oscillating scalar fields in particle physics motivated
cosmological scenarios, which may have rich phenomenological consequences. Scalar …
