Les Houches Lectures on Physics Beyond the Standard Model of Cosmology
arXiv:1312.2006
Abstract
In these Lectures, I review various extensions of the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter model, characterized by additional light degrees of freedom in the dark sector. In order to reproduce the successful phenomenology of GR in the solar system, these fields must effectively decouple from matter on solar system/laboratory scales. This is achieved through screening mechanisms, which rely on the interplay between self-interactions and coupling to matter to suppress deviations from standard gravity. The manifestation of the new degrees of freedom depends sensitively on their environment, which in turn leads to striking experimental signatures.
