Although dark matter is a central element of modern cosmology, the history of how it became
accepted as part of the dominant paradigm is often ignored or condensed into an anecdotal …

The next-to-minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (NMSSM) is one of
the most favored supersymmetric models. After an introduction to the model, the Higgs …

This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP
(search for hidden particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the largely …

We consider a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be
decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMP annihilation to …

This book accompanies another book by the same authors, Introduction to the Theory of the
Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory and presents the theory of the evolution of density …

The evidence for the existence of dark matter in the universe is reviewed. A general picture
emerges, where both baryonic and non-baryonic dark matter is needed to explain current …

The recent groundbreaking discovery of nonzero neutrino masses and oscillations has put
the spotlight on massive neutrinos as one of the key windows on physics beyond the …

We consider the direct s-channel gravitational production of dark matter during the reheating
process. Independent of the identity of the dark matter candidate or its nongravitational …

We analyze the indirect astrophysical signatures of secluded models of WIMP dark matter,
characterized by a weak-scale rate for annihilation into light MeV-scale mediators which are …

The Hubble expansion of galaxies, the 2.73 K black-body radiation background and the
cosmic abundances of the light elements argue for a hot, dense origin of the universe-the …
