Physical Review D, 2021 A new $U(1)$ dark gauge group coupled to the Standard Model (SM) via the kinetic mixing portal provides a natural dark matter candidate in the form of the Higgs field, $h_d$, responsible for generating the mass of the dark photon, $ _d$. We show that the condition $m_{h_d}\leq m_{ _d}$, together with smallness of the kinetic mixing parameter ...

GRB 181110A: Constraining the Jet Structure, Circumburst Medium and the Initial Lorentz Factor
Universe, 2022 The afterglow data of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) can be used to constrain the physical properties of the fireball (e.g., the jet structure and opening angle) and the circumburst medium.

An Unsupervised Machine Learning Method for Electron–Proton Discrimination of the DAMPE Experiment
Universe, 2022 Galactic cosmic rays are mostly made up of energetic nuclei, with less than 1% of electrons (and positrons). Precise measurement of the electron and positron component requires a very efficient method to reject the nuclei background, mainly protons.

Constraints on dark matter annihilation from the Event Horizon Telescope observations of M87*
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 The fast developments of radio astronomy open a new window to explore the properties of Dark Matter (DM). The recent direct imaging of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center of M87 radio galaxy by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration

The Identification of Dark Matter, 2000 Abstract: The late infall of cold dark matter onto an isolated galaxy such as our own produces flows with definite velocity vectors at any physical point in the galactic halo. It also produces caustics which are places where the dark matter density is very large. The outer caustics are topological spheres whereas the inner caustics are rings. The self‐

Global QCD analysis and dark photons
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We perform a global QCD analysis of high energy scattering data within the JAM Monte Carlo framework, including a coupling to a dark photon that augments the Standard Model (SM) electroweak coupling via kinetic mixing with the hypercharge B boson.

DARK MATTER INTERFERENCE [PDF]
Modern Physics Letters A, 2012 We study different patterns of interference in WIMP-nuclei elastic scattering that can accommodate the DAMA and CoGeNT experiments via an isospin violating ratio fn/fp = -0.71. We study interference between the following pairs of mediators: Z and Z′, Z′ and Higgs, and two Higgs fields. We show under what conditions interference works.

Quasi-Periodic Pulsations in an M-Class Solar Flare
Universe, 2023 We have studied the quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) of the M2.3 flare that occurred in the active region NOAA 12172 on 23 September 2014. Through the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, we decompose the flare light curves into fast- and slowly-varying ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 The evidence for the dark matter (DM) of the hot big bang cosmology is about as good as it gets in natural science. The exploration of its nature is now led by direct and indirect detection experiments, to be complemented by advances in the full range of cosmological tests, including judicious consideration of the rich phenomenology of galaxies.

A GeV-TeV particle component and the barrier of cosmic-ray sea in the Central Molecular Zone
Nature Communications, 2021 Galactic center is one of the most important cosmic-ray sources. Here, the authors show GeV-TeV cosmic ray density in the central molecular zone is lower than the cosmic ray sea component, suggesting presence of high energy particle accelerator at the ...
