Is The Universal Matter - Antimatter Asymmetry Fine Tuned?

Gary Steigman, Robert J. Scherrer

The asymmetry between matter and antimatter is key to the existence and nature of our Universe. A measure of the matter - antimatter asymmetry of the Universe is provided by the pr…

CMB Constraints On The Thermal WIMP Mass And Annihilation Cross Section

Gary Steigman

A thermal relic, often referred to as a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP), is a particle produced during the early evolution of the Universe whose present (relic) abundanc…

BBN And The CMB Constrain Neutrino Coupled Light WIMPs

Kenneth M. Nollett, Gary Steigman

(abridged) In the presence of a light WIMP (mass m_chi < 30 MeV), there are degeneracies among the WIMP's nature, its couplings to standard model particles, its mass, and the numbe…

Light WIMPs And Equivalent Neutrinos

Gary Steigman, Kenneth M. Nollett

Very light WIMPs (chi), thermal relics that annihilate late in the early Universe, change the energy and entropy densities at BBN and at recombination. BBN, in combination with the…

Light WIMPs, Equivalent Neutrinos, BBN, and the CMB

Gary Steigman, Kenneth M. Nollett

Recent updates to the observational determinations of the primordial abundances of helium and deuterium are compared to the predictions of BBN to infer the universal ratio of baryo…

BBN And The CMB Constrain Light, Electromagnetically Coupled WIMPs

Kenneth M. Nollett, Gary Steigman

(Abridged) In the presence of a light WIMP (< 30 MeV), there are degeneracies among the nature of the WIMP, its couplings to standard model particles, its mass m_chi, and the numbe…
