WIMP-like Dark Matter Without Thermalization At Freeze-Out

Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, Gabriele Montefalcone

In the standard thermal relic scenario, dark matter remains in chemical equilibrium with the Standard Model radiation bath until freeze-out occurs at , where i…

Thermal Gravitons from Warm Inflation

Gabriele Montefalcone, Barmak Shams Es Haghi, Tao Xu +1

In warm inflation (WI), the persistent thermal bath that is sustained by dissipative interactions with the inflaton field produces a stochastic background of gravitational waves (G…

CMB Constraints on Loop-Induced Decays of Leptophilic Dark Matter

Gabriele Montefalcone, Gilly Elor, Kimberly K. Boddy +1

Leptophilic sub-MeV spin-zero dark matter (DM) decays into photons via one-loop processes, a scenario that has been in part overlooked in current literature. In this work, we provi…

Minimal Dark Matter Freeze-in with Low Reheating Temperatures and Implications for Direct Detection

Kimberly K. Boddy, Katherine Freese, Gabriele Montefalcone +1

We investigate the influence of the reheating temperature of the visible sector on the freeze-in dark matter (DM) benchmark model for direct detection experiments, where DM product…

Dark Matter production during Warm Inflation via Freeze-In

Katherine Freese, Gabriele Montefalcone, Barmak Shams Es Haghi

We present a novel perspective on the role of inflation in the production of Dark Matter (DM). Specifically, we explore the DM production during Warm Inflation via ultraviolet Free…
