‘Excess’ of primary cosmic ray electrons
With the accurate cosmic ray (CR) electron and positron spectra (denoted as Φe− and Φe+, respectively) measured by AMS-02 Collaboration, the difference between the electron and positron fluxes (i.e., ΔΦ=Φe−−Φe+), dominated by the propagated primary ...

One-Minute Quasi-Periodic Pulsations during an M-Class Solar Flare
We study the Quasi-Periodic Pulsations (QPPs) of an M4.4 class solar flare, which occurred in active region NOAA 11165 on 8 March 2011. With the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method, we decompose the flare light curve into fast- and slowly-varying ...

A very weakly coupled scalar field with mass $m$ and initial vacuum expectation value $V$ will provide enough mass to close the universe provided $V\simeq (3\times 10^8\gev)(100\gev/m)^{1/4}$. We discuss possible models in which such a field could arise.

More than 90% of matter in the Universe could be composed of heavy particles, which were non-relativistic, or 'cold', when they froze-out from the primordial soup. I will review current searches for these hypothetical particles, both via interactions with nuclei in deep underground detectors, and via the observation of their annihilation products in ...

Convergent Bayesian global fits of 4D composite Higgs models
Models in which the Higgs boson is a composite pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson offer attractive solutions to the Higgs mass naturalness problem. We consider three such models based on the minimal SO(5) → SO(4) symmetry breaking pattern, and perform ...

Black hole evaporation beyond the Standard Model of particle physics
The observation of an evaporating black hole would provide definitive information on the elementary particles present in nature. In particular, it could discover or exclude particles beyond those present in the standard model of particle physics.

The hypothesis of an 'invisible' axion was made by Misha Shifman and others, approximately thirty years ago. It has turned out to be an unusually fruitful idea, crossing boundaries between particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. An axion with mass of order 10-5 eV (with large uncertainties) is one of the leading candidates for the dark matter of

Experimental identification of non-pointlike dark-matter candidates [PDF]
We show that direct dark matter detection experiments can distinguish between pointlike and non-pointlike dark-matter candidates. The shape of the nuclear recoil energy spectrum from pointlike dark-matter particles, e.g., neutralinos, is determined by ...

Neutron stars with spin polarized self-interacting dark matter
Dark matter, one of the important portion of the universe, could affect the visible matter in neutron stars. An important physical feature of dark matter is due to the spin of dark matter particles.
