Leptogenesis with a GeV-Scale Quasi-Dirac Neutrino

Stephen F. King, Soumen Kumar Manna, Rishav Roshan +1

We discuss leptogenesis in a model with a GeV-scale quasi-Dirac neutral lepton, comprising mainly sterile states, which is accessible to future experiments. In particular, we show…

Cosmological Consequences of a Highly Decoupled Right-handed Neutrino

Stephen F. King, Rishav Roshan, Sudipta Show

In the minimal type-I seesaw, one right-handed neutrino (RHN) can decouple from neutrino mass generation. Such a state is usually neglected, yet its feeble couplings make it long-l…

Minimal Scale-Invariant Dark Matter

Alexander Belyaev, Roman Pasechnik, Rishav Roshan +1

We study the minimal classically scale-invariant extension of the Standard Model, containing a single -stabilised real scalar singlet whose mass is not an independent…

Particle and Gravitational Wave Probes of Minimal Seesaw Neutrinos

Sanjoy Mandal, Rishav Roshan, Jose W. F. Valle

Observable gravitational waves (GWs) from first-order phase transitions (FOPTs) can coexist with distinct particle physics signatures. These include same-sign dilepton plus four~je…

Imprint of domain wall annihilation on induced gravitational waves

Rishav Roshan

Domain wall annihilation can leave a distinctive imprint on the induced gravitational wave spectrum. During annihilation, most of the domain wall energy transforms into the scalar…

Reheating Effects on Charged Lepton Yukawa Equilibration and Leptogenesis

Rishav Roshan

We show that accounting for a non-instantaneous reheating phase after inflation can significantly modify the charged lepton Yukawa equilibration temperature in the early Universe.…

Twin-peaked gravitational wave signals from a phase transition

Rishav Roshan, Indrajit Saha

We compute the gravitational wave spectrum from a phase transition associated with the spontaneous breaking of a symmetry. If the transition is second-orde…

Delayed Charged Lepton Yukawa Equilibration in Minimal Seesaw

Rishav Roshan, Sudipta Show

While most studies of the \textit{minimal type-I seesaw} neglect the heaviest decoupled right-handed neutrino, assuming negligible contributions to neutrino masses and leptogenesis…

Boomerang mechanism explaining the excess radio background

Bhupal Dev, Pasquale Di Bari, Ivan Martinez-Soler +1

We propose a boomerang mechanism for the explanation of the excess radio background detected by ARCADE 2. In an early stage of the Universe, at a temperature in the range $\sim…

Freeze-In Dark Matter and Leptogenesis: a SM route

Adeela Afzal, Rishav Roshan

We investigate the possibility of \emph{freeze-in} dark matter production and baryogenesis via leptogenesis in a SM model, which is an extension of the Standard Model, fe…

The CosmoVerse White Paper: Addressing observational tensions in cosmology with systematics and fundamental physics

Eleonora Di Valentino, Jackson Levi Said, Adam Riess +533

The standard model of cosmology has provided a good phenomenological description of a wide range of observations both at astrophysical and cosmological scales for several decades.…

Cosmological Consequences of Domain Walls Biased by Quantum Gravity

Yann Gouttenoire, Stephen F. King, Rishav Roshan +3

One of the simplest standard model extensions leading to a domain wall network is a real scalar with a symmetry spontaneously broken during universe evolution. Motivated…

Leptogenesis with Majoron Dark Matter

Stephen F. King, Soumen Kumar Manna, Rishav Roshan +1

We discuss a model of neutrino mass based on the type I seesaw mechanism embedded in a spontaneously broken global lepton number framework with a symmetry. We show that the r…

Gravitational Wave Production During Reheating: From the Inflaton to Primordial Black Holes

Mathieu Gross, Essodjolo Kpatcha, Yann Mambrini +2

We calculate the gravitational waves (GWs) produced by primordial black holes (PBHs) in the presence of the inflaton condensate in the early Universe. Combining the GW production f…

Testing leptogenesis and dark matter production during reheating with primordial gravitational waves

Basabendu Barman, Arindam Basu, Debasish Borah +2

We study the generation of baryon asymmetry as well as dark matter (DM) in an extended reheating period after the end of slow-roll inflation. Within the regime of perturbative rehe…

Relic neutrino decay: a solution to the excess radio background

Rishav Roshan

The detection of excess radio background detected by ARCADE 2 suggests the presence of new physics as there exists no clear astrophysical solution. We find that the radiative decay…

Observable gravitational waves and with global lepton number symmetry and dark matter

Debasish Borah, Nayan Das, Rishav Roshan

We study the possibility of testing a dark matter (DM) scenario embedded in a global lepton number symmetry via gravitational waves (GW) and cosmic microwave background (C…

Using gravitational waves to see the first second of the Universe

Rishav Roshan, Graham White

Gravitational waves are a unique probe of the early Universe, as the Universe is transparent to gravitational radiation right back to the end of inflation. In this article, we summ…

Leptogenesis, Dark Matter and Gravitational Waves from Discrete Symmetry Breaking

Subhaditya Bhattacharya, Niloy Mondal, Rishav Roshan +1

We analyse a model that connects the neutrino sector and the dark sector of the universe via a mediator , stabilised by a discrete symmetry that breaks to a remnant …

Relic neutrino decay solution to the excess radio background

P. S. Bhupal Dev, Pasquale Di Bari, Ivan Martínez-Soler +1

The excess radio background detected by ARCADE 2 represents a puzzle within the standard cosmological model. There is no clear viable astrophysical solution, and therefore, it migh…

Baryon asymmetry from dark matter decay

Debasish Borah, Suruj Jyoti Das, Rishav Roshan

We propose a novel framework where baryon asymmetry can arise due to forbidden decay of dark matter (DM) enabled by finite temperature effects in the early universe. In order to im…
