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…
BBN constraints on the annihilation of MeV-scale dark matter
Paul Frederik Depta, Marco Hufnagel, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg +1
Thermal dark matter at the MeV scale faces stringent bounds from a variety of cosmological probes. Here we perform a detailed evaluation of BBN bounds on the annihilation cross sec…
