A number of challenges to the standard Λ CDM model have been emerging during the past
few years as the accuracy of cosmological observations improves. In this review we discuss …

The dark energy plus cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model has been a
demonstrably successful framework for predicting and explaining the large-scale structure of …

Many aspects of the large-scale structure of the Universe can be described successfully
using cosmological models in which 27±1% of the critical mass-energy density consists of …

Axions comprise a broad class of particles that can play a major role in explaining the
unknown aspects of cosmology. They are also well-motivated within high energy physics …

Particle physics today faces the challenge of explaining the mystery of dark matter, the origin
of matter over anti-matter in the Universe, the origin of the neutrino masses, the apparent …

Over recent decades, cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have been instrumental
in advancing our understanding of structure and galaxy formation in the Universe. These …

Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose
underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino …

Physics welcomes the idea that space contains energy whose gravitational effect
approximates that of Einstein's cosmological constant, Λ; today the concept is termed dark …

We review theories of dark matter (DM) beyond the collisionless paradigm, known as self-
interacting dark matter (SIDM), and their observable implications for astrophysical structure …

We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the
fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities …
