ACROPOLIS: A generiC fRamework fOr Photodisintegration Of LIght elementS

Paul Frederik Depta, Marco Hufnagel, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg

The remarkable agreement between observations of the primordial light element abundances and the corresponding theoretical predictions within the standard cosmological history prov…

Updated BBN constraints on electromagnetic decays of MeV-scale particles

Paul Frederik Depta, Marco Hufnagel, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg

In this work, we revise and update model-independent constraints from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis on MeV-scale particles which decay into photons and/or electron-positron pairs. W…

MeV-scale Seesaw and Leptogenesis

Valerie Domcke, Marco Drewes, Marco Hufnagel +1

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly const…

Robust cosmological constraints on axion-like particles

Paul Frederik Depta, Marco Hufnagel, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg

Axion-like particles with masses in the keV-GeV range have a profound impact on the cosmological evolution of our Universe, in particular on the abundance of light elements produce…

Direct detection and complementary constraints for sub-GeV dark matter

Kyrylo Bondarenko, Alexey Boyarsky, Torsten Bringmann +3

Traditional direct searches for dark matter, looking for nuclear recoils in deep underground detectors, are challenged by an almost complete loss of sensitivity for light dark matt…

Conversion-driven freeze-out: Dark matter genesis beyond the WIMP paradigm

Mathias Garny, Jan Heisig, Marco Hufnagel +2

We consider dark matter (DM) with very weak couplings to the standard model (SM), such that its self-annihilation cross section is much smaller than the canonical one, $\langleσv\r…
