Neutrino decoupling beyond the Standard Model: CMB constraints on the Dark Matter mass with a fast and precise Neff evaluation

M Escudero - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
The number of effective relativistic neutrino species represents a fundamental probe of the
thermal history of the early Universe, and as such of the Standard Model of Particle Physics …

Neutrino portals to dark matter

M Blennow, E Fernandez-Martinez… - The European Physical …, 2019 - Springer
We explore the possibility that dark matter interactions with Standard Model particles are
dominated by interactions with neutrinos. We examine whether it is possible to construct …

Baryogenesis and dark matter from mesons

G Elor, M Escudero, AE Nelson - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We present a new mechanism of baryogenesis and dark matter production in which both the
dark matter relic abundance and the baryon asymmetry arise from neutral B meson …

Thermal dark matter through the Dirac neutrino portal

B Batell, T Han, D McKeen, BSE Haghi - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We study a simple model of thermal dark matter annihilating to standard model neutrinos via
the neutrino portal. A (pseudo-) Dirac sterile neutrino serves as a mediator between the …

Dark matter produced from right-handed neutrinos

SP Li, XJ Xu - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) provide a natural portal to a dark sector accommodating
dark matter (DM). In this work, we consider that the dark sector is connected to the standard …

Probing freeze-in dark matter via heavy neutrino portal

B Barman, PSB Dev, A Ghoshal - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
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 …

Effective theories with dark matter applications

S Bhattacharya, J Wudka - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2021 - World Scientific
Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has achieved enormous success in describing the
interactions among the known fundamental constituents of nature, yet it fails to describe …

Sterile neutrino portal to dark matter II: exact dark symmetry

M Escudero, N Rius, V Sanz - The European Physical Journal C, 2017 - Springer
We analyze a simple extension of the standard model (SM) with a dark sector composed of a
scalar and a fermion, both singlets under the SM gauge group but charged under a dark …

Neutrino portal to FIMP dark matter with an early matter era

C Cosme, M Dutra, T Ma, Y Wu, L Yang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We study the freeze-in production of Feebly Interacting Massive Particle (FIMP)
dark matter candidates through a neutrino portal. We consider a hidden sector comprised of …

Probing light dark matter with a hadrophilic scalar mediator

B Batell, A Freitas, A Ismail, D McKeen - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We investigate the thermal cosmology and terrestrial and astrophysical phenomenology of a
sub-GeV hadrophilic dark sector. The specific construction explored in this work features a …
