چکیده

micrOMEGAs is a code to compute dark matter observables in generic extensions of the standard model. This version of micrOMEGAs includes a generalization of the Boltzmann equations to take into account the possibility of two dark matter candidates. The modification of the relic density calculation to include interactions between the two DM sectors as well as semi-annihilation is presented. Both DM signals in direct and indirect detection are computed as well. An extension of the standard model with two scalar doublets and a singlet is used as an example.

Singlet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space

In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered,  but our information about  the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as  scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...

Wimp and Axion Dark Matter

There is almost universal agreement among cosmologists that most of the matter in the Universe is dark, and there are very good reasons to believe that most of this dark matter must be nonbaryonic. The two leading candidates for this dark matter are axions and weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs), such as the neutralino in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. I discuss the a...

Scalar Dark Matter candidates

We investigate the possibility that Dark Matter could be made of scalar candidates and focus, in particular, on the unusual mass range between a few MeV’s and a few GeV’s. After showing why the Lee-Weinberg limit (which usually forbids a Dark Matter mass below a few GeV’s) does not necessarily apply in the case of scalar particles, we discuss how light candidates (mdm < O(GeV) ) can satisfy bot...

Dark Matter in Many Forms

Ordinary matter constitutes about 4% of the closure density of the Universe, while dark matter is responsible for about five times as much: Ωd = (23 ± 4)% [1, 2]. Ordinary matter exists in several stable forms: p, n (when incorporated into nuclei), e, and three flavors of neutrinos. (The lifetimes of the two heavier mass eigenstates probably exceed the age of the Universe.) We could expect dark...

Possible Relics from New Physics in the Early Universe: Inflation, the Cosmic Microwave Background, and Particle Dark Matter

I review two different connections between particle theory and early-Universe cosmology: (1) Cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) tests of inflation and (2) particle dark matter. The inflationary predictions of a flat Universe and a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial density perturbations will be tested precisely with forthcoming maps of the CMB temperature. A stochastic gravitational-w...
