Probing the Early Universe with Axion Physics and Gravitational Waves
Nicklas Ramberg, Luca Visinelli
We show results for the expected reach of the network of experiments that is being set up globally with the aim of detecting the "invisible" axion, in light of a non-standard therm…
A tale of dark matter capture, sub-dominant WIMPs, and neutrino observatories
Sebastian Baum, Luca Visinelli, Katherine Freese +1
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), which are among the best motivated dark matter (DM) candidates, could make up all or only a fraction of the total DM budget. We consid…
Kinetic decoupling of WIMPs: analytic expressions
Luca Visinelli, Paolo Gondolo
We present a general expression for the values of the average kinetic energy and of the temperature of kinetic decoupling of a WIMP, valid for any cosmological model. We show an ex…
Axion cold dark matter in view of BICEP2 results
L. Visinelli, P. Gondolo
The properties of axions that constitute 100% of cold dark matter (CDM) depend on the tensor-to-scalar ratio at the end of inflation. If as reported by…
An integral equation for distorted wave amplitudes
Luca Visinelli, Paolo Gondolo
We derive a new integral equation that allows the calculation of the scattering or annihilation amplitude of two particles subjected to two potentials when the corresponding amplit…
