Unitarity and Monojet Bounds on Models for DAMA, CoGeNT, and CRESST-II
Ian M. Shoemaker, Luca Vecchi
If dark matter interacts with quarks or gluons, the mediator of these interactions is either directly accessible at the LHC or is so heavy that its effects are encoded in contact o…
Probing Nonstandard Standard Model Backgrounds with LHC Monojets
Alexander Friedland, Michael L. Graesser, Ian M. Shoemaker +1
Monojet events at colliders have been used to probe models of dark matter and extra dimensions. We point out that these events also probe extensions of the Standard Model modifying…
A dark force for baryons
Michael L. Graesser, Ian M. Shoemaker, Luca Vecchi
We suggest the existence of a fundamental connection between baryonic and dark matter. This is motivated by both the stability of these two types of matter as well as the observed…
Pangenesis in a Baryon-Symmetric Universe: Dark and Visible Matter via the Affleck-Dine Mechanism
Nicole F. Bell, Kalliopi Petraki, Ian M. Shoemaker +1
The similarity of the visible and dark matter abundances indicates that they may originate via the same mechanism. If both the dark and the visible matter are charged under a gener…
Asymmetric WIMP dark matter
Michael L. Graesser, Ian M. Shoemaker, Luca Vecchi
In existing dark matter models with global symmetries the relic abundance of dark matter is either equal to that of anti-dark matter (thermal WIMP), or vastly larger, with essentia…
