Self-interacting dark matter with a vector mediator: kinetic mixing with the U 1 B − L 3 $$ \mathrm{U}{(1)}_{{\left(B-L\right)}_3} $$ gauge boson

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
A spontaneously broken hidden U(1) h gauge symmetry can explain both the dark matter stability and the observed relic abundance. In this framework, the light gauge boson can mediate the strong dark matter self-interaction, which addresses astrophysical ...

Quintessence Saves Higgs Instability

open access: yes, 2018
We study a model where quintessence potential $e^{-\xi\phi}$ coupled to Higgs potential. We calculate the evolution of the quintessence, and track the running of the effective Higgs self-coupling.

BBN constraints on universally-coupled ultralight scalar dark matter

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Ultralight scalar dark matter can interact with all massive Standard Model particles through a universal coupling. Such a coupling modifies the Standard Model particle masses and affects the dynamics of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We model the cosmological

Scalar-tensor cosmology at the general relativity limit: Jordan vs Einstein frame

open access: yes, 2008
We consider the correspondence between the Jordan frame and the Einstein frame descriptions of scalar-tensor theory of gravitation. We argue that since the redefinition of the scalar field is not differentiable at the limit of general relativity the ...

Dark radiation and superheavy dark matter from black hole domination

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2019
If even a relatively small number of black holes were created in the early universe, they will constitute an increasingly large fraction of the total energy density as space expands.

Augury of darkness: the low-mass dark Z ′ portal

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
Dirac fermion dark matter models with heavy Z ′ mediators are subject to stringent constraints from spin-independent direct searches and from LHC bounds, cornering them to live near the Z ′ resonance.

The hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem in the Standard Model

open access: yes, 2015
We argue that the SM in the Higgs phase does not suffer form a "hierarchy problem" and that similarly the "cosmological constant problem" resolves itself if we understand the SM as a low energy effective theory emerging from a cut-off medium at the ...
