Composite strongly interacting dark matter

James M. Cline, Zuowei Liu, Guy D. Moore +1

It has been suggested that cold dark matter (CDM) has difficulties in explaining tentative evidence for noncuspy halo profiles in small galaxies, and the low velocity dispersions o…

Scattering properties of dark atoms and molecules

James M. Cline, Zuowei Liu, Guy D. Moore +1

There has been renewed interest in the possibility that dark matter exists in the form of atoms, analogous to those of the visible world. An important input for understanding the c…

Update on scalar singlet dark matter

James M. Cline, Kimmo Kainulainen, Pat Scott +1

One of the simplest models of dark matter is that where a scalar singlet field S comprises some or all of the dark matter, and interacts with the standard model through an HHSS cou…

Searching for intrinsic charm in the proton at the LHC

V. A. Bednyakov, M. A. Demichev, G. I. Lykasov +2

Despite rather long-term theoretical and experimental studies, the hypothesis of the non-zero intrinsic (or valence-like) heavy quark component of the proton distribution functions…

Thermal width and quarkonium dissociation by inelastic parton scattering

Nora Brambilla, Miguel Angel Escobedo, Jacopo Ghiglieri +1

In a weak-coupling effective field theory framework we study quarkonium dissociation induced by inelastic scattering with partons in the medium. This is the dominant dissociation p…

Horizontal Symmetries and

C. S. Lam

Using group theory of mixing to examine all finite subgroups of SU(3) with an order less than 512, we found recently that only the group can give rise to a correct reactor…
