Hot Axions and the H0 tension

F D'Eramo, RZ Ferreira, A Notari… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Scattering and decay processes of thermal bath particles involving heavy leptons can dump
hot axions in the primordial plasma around the QCD phase transition. We compute their relic …

Supernova muons: new constraints on Z′ bosons, axions and ALPs

D Croon, G Elor, RK Leane, SD McDermott - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract New light particles produced in supernovae can lead to additional energy loss and
a consequent deficit in neutrino production in conflict with the neutrinos observed from …

GeV-scale thermal WIMPs: Not even slightly ruled out

RK Leane, TR Slatyer, JF Beacom, KCY Ng - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) have long reigned as one of the leading
classes of dark matter candidates. The observed dark matter abundance can be naturally …

Exoplanets as sub-GeV dark matter detectors

RK Leane, J Smirnov - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
We present exoplanets as new targets to discover dark matter (DM). Throughout the Milky
Way, DM can scatter, become captured, deposit annihilation energy, and increase the heat …

Capture of leptophilic dark matter in neutron stars

NF Bell, G Busoni, S Robles - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Dark matter particles will be captured in neutron stars if they undergo scattering interactions
with nucleons or leptons. These collisions transfer the dark matter kinetic energy to the star …

Dark matter in the Sun: scattering off electrons vs nucleons

R Garani, S Palomares-Ruiz - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The annihilation of dark matter (DM) particles accumulated in the Sun could produce a flux
of neutrinos, which is potentially detectable with neutrino detectors/telescopes and the DM …

RK Leane - arxiv preprint arxiv:2006.00513, 2020 - arxiv.org
I present a short overview of the latest developments in indirect searches for dark matter
using gamma rays, X-rays, charged cosmic rays, micro waves, radio waves, and neutrinos. I …

Neutrino-dark matter connections in gauge theories

P Fileviez Pérez, C Murgui, AD Plascencia - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We discuss the connection between the origin of neutrino masses and the properties of dark
matter candidates in the context of gauge extensions of the Standard Model. We investigate …

Leptophilic dark matter from gauged lepton number: Phenomenology and gravitational wave signatures

E Madge, P Schwaller - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
