Dark Matter in SUGRA, Strings and Branes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A brief review is given of dark matter in SUGRA, strings and branes. For SUGRA models the implications of Yukawa coupling unification on dark matter are discussed in the light of $g-2$ and $b\to s\gamma$ constraints.

The Dawn of FIMP Dark Matter: A Review of Models and Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present an overview of scenarios where the observed Dark Matter (DM) abundance consists of Feebly Interacting Massive Particles (FIMPs), produced nonthermally by the so-called freeze-in mechanism.

Multi-Component Dark Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We explore multi-component dark matter models where the dark sector consists of multiple stable states with different mass scales, and dark forces coupling these states further enrich the dynamics.

Multi-component dark sectors: symmetries, asymmetries and conversions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
We study the relic abundance of several stable particles from a generic dark sector, including the possible presence of dark asymmetries. After discussing the different possibilities for stabilising multi-component dark matter, we analyse the final relic

Light dark matter: Models and constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study the direct detection prospects for a representative set of simplified models of sub-GeV dark matter (DM), accounting for existing terrestrial, astrophysical and cosmological constraints.

Dark magnetic dipole property in fermionic absorption by nucleus and electrons

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
The fermionic dark matter (DM) absorption by nucleus or electron targets provides a distinctive signal to search for sub-GeV DM. We consider a Dirac fermion DM charged under a dark gauge group and with the dark magnetic dipole operator.

Ultra-light dark matter [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020
Ultra-light dark matter is a class of dark matter models (DM), where DM is composed by bosons with masses ranging from $$10^{-24}\, \mathrm {eV}< m < \mathrm {eV}$$ 10 - 24 eV < m < eV . These models have been receiving a lot of attention in the past few

Unification of Gauge Couplings in Radiative Neutrino Mass Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We investigate the possibility of gauge coupling unification in various radiative neutrino mass models, which generate neutrino masses at one- and/or two-loop level.

Black holes and gravitational waves in models of minicharged dark matter [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2016
In viable models of minicharged dark matter, astrophysical black holes might be charged under a hidden U(1) symmetry and are formally described by the same Kerr-Newman solution of Einstein-Maxwell theory.

IceCube at the frontier of macroscopic dark matter direct detection

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
For a class of macroscopic dark matter models, inelastic scattering of dark matter off a nucleus can generate electromagnetic signatures with GeV-scale energy.
