Elastically Decoupling Dark Matter.
We present a novel dark matter candidate, an elastically decoupling relic, which is a cold thermal relic whose present abundance is determined by the cross section of its elastic scattering on standard model particles. The dark matter candidate is predicted to have a mass ranging from a few to a few hundred MeV, and an elastic scattering cross section with electrons, photons and/or neutrinos in...
متن کاملDecoupling Dark Energy from Matter
We examine the embedding of dark energy in high energy models based upon supergravity and extend the usual phenomenological setting comprising an observable sector and a hidden supersymmetry breaking sector by including a third sector leading to the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. We find that gravitational constraints on the non-existence of a fifth force naturally imply that th...
متن کاملLIGHT DARK MATTER a
We show how light spin-1 2 or spin-0 particles may be acceptable Dark Matter candidates, provided they annihilate sufficiently strongly through new interactions, such as those induced by a new light neutral spin-1 boson U. The corresponding interaction is stronger than weak interactions at lower energies, but weaker at higher energies. Annihilation cross sections of (axially coupled) spin-1 2 D...
متن کاملParticle Dark Matter
There is plenty of evidence that most matter in the universe is dark (non–luminous). Particle physics offers several possible explanations. In this talk I focus on cold dark matter; the most promising candidates are then axions and the lightest supersymmetric particle. I briefly summarize estimates for the present relic density of these particles, and describe efforts to detect them. To appear ...
متن کاملLight Higgsino Dark Matter
We re–investigate the question whether a light higgsino–like neutralino is a viable Dark Matter candidate. To this end we compute the dominant one–loop corrections to the masses of the higgsino–like states in the minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), due to loops involving heavy quarks and their superpartners. We also calculate analogous corrections to the couplings of higgsino–like neu...
