Hybrid to Quarkonia transitions
Rubén Oncala, Joan Soto
Hybrid quarkonia -exotic hadrons with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom- have gained increasing attention in hadron spectroscopy, particularly with the ongoing discovery of new X…
Bound states of WIMP dark matter in Higgs-portal models. Part II. Thermal decoupling
Ruben Oncala, Kalliopi Petraki
The Higgs doublet can mediate a long-range interaction between multi-TeV particles coupled to the Weak interactions of the Standard Model, while its emission can lead to very rapid…
Bound states of WIMP dark matter in Higgs-portal models. Part I. Cross-sections and transition rates
Ruben Oncala, Kalliopi Petraki
We investigate the role of the Higgs \emph{doublet} in the thermal decoupling of multi-TeV dark matter coupled to the Weak interactions of the Standard Model and the Higgs. The Hig…
Dark matter bound state formation via emission of a charged scalar
Ruben Oncala, Kalliopi Petraki
The formation of stable or meta-stable bound states can dramatically affect the phenomenology of dark matter (DM). Although the capture into bound states via emission of a vector i…
Dark matter bound states via emission of scalar mediators
Ruben Oncala, Kalliopi Petraki
If dark matter (DM) couples to a force carrier that is much lighter than itself, then it may form bound states in the early universe and inside haloes. While bound-state formation…
Heavy Quarkonium Hybrids: Spectrum, Decay and Mixing
Rubén Oncala, Joan Soto
We present a largely model independent analysis of the lighter Heavy Quarkonium Hybrids based on the strong coupling regime of Potential Non-Relativistic QCD (pNRQCD). We calculate…
Heavy Hybrids: decay to and mixing with Heavy Quarkonium
Rubén Oncala, Joan Soto
We report on a recent QCD based research on hybrid mesons containing or quarks. We present results for the spectrum, the decay widths to heavy quarkonium, and t…
