The waning of the WIMP? A review of models, searches, and constraints
Abstract Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are among the best-motivated dark
matter candidates. No conclusive signal, despite an extensive search program that …

A call for new physics: the muon anomalous magnetic moment and lepton flavor violation
We review how the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g− 2) and the quest for lepton flavor
violation are intimately correlated. Indeed the decay μ→ e γ is induced by the same …

You can hide but you have to run: direct detection with vector mediators
A bstract We study direct detection in simplified models of Dark Matter (DM) in which
interactions with Standard Model (SM) fermions are mediated by a heavy vector boson. We …

Probing freeze-in dark matter via heavy neutrino portal
We explore the possibility of probing freeze-in dark matter (DM) produced via the right-
handed neutrino (RHN) portal using the RHN search experiments. We focus on a simplified …
