The Belle II Physics Book
E. Kou, P. Urquijo, W. Altmannshofer +524
We present the physics program of the Belle II experiment, located on the intensity frontier SuperKEKB collider. Belle II collected its first collisions in 2018, and is ex…
BBN constraints on MeV-scale dark sectors. Part II. Electromagnetic decays
Marco Hufnagel, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg, Sebastian Wild
Meta-stable dark sector particles decaying into electrons or photons may non-trivially change the Hubble rate, lead to entropy injection into the thermal bath of Standard Model par…
Strong constraints on clustered primordial black holes as dark matter
Torsten Bringmann, Paul Frederik Depta, Valerie Domcke +1
The idea of dark matter in the form of primordial black holes has seen a recent revival triggered by the LIGO detection of gravitational waves from binary black hole mergers. In th…
Self-interacting dark matter with a stable vector mediator
Michael Duerr, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg, Sebastian Wild
Light vector mediators can naturally induce velocity-dependent dark matter self-interactions while at the same time allowing for the correct dark matter relic abundance via thermal…
Converting non-relativistic dark matter to radiation
Torsten Bringmann, Felix Kahlhoefer, Kai Schmidt-Hoberg +1
Dark matter in the cosmological concordance model is parameterised by a single number, describing the covariantly conserved energy density of a non-relativistic fluid. Here we test…
Model-independent comparison of annual modulation and total rate with direct detection experiments
Felix Kahlhoefer, Florian Reindl, Karoline Schäffner +2
The relative sensitivity of different direct detection experiments depends sensitively on the astrophysical distribution and particle physics nature of dark matter, prohibiting a m…
