Dark-pion dark matter beyond leading order: unitarized chiral dynamics

Yuki Watanabe

Dark pions are promising dark matter candidates, yet most analyses rely on leading-order (LO) chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). Motivated by the fact that, even for QCD pi-pi scat…

Self-Interacting Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Strong MeV Gamma-ray

Yu Watanabe

Sub-GeV dark matter (DM) with -channel resonant self-scattering provides a promising framework for addressing small-scale structure problems. However, models that also account f…

Unitarization of the Sommerfeld enhancement through the renormalization group

Yuki Watanabe

When a pair of dark matter particles interacts via a long-range force mediated by a light particle, their nonrelativistic annihilation cross section can be significantly enhanced -…

Scalar field stochastic dynamics in de Sitter spacetime from exact solutions of quantum deficient oscillators

Yuta Nasuda, Koki Tokeshi, Yuki Watanabe

The stochastic dynamics of a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime can be regarded as a non-perturbative diffusion process, to which exact distribution and correlation functions are…

Thermal Real Scalar Triplet Dark Matter

Taisuke Katayose, Shigeki Matsumoto, Satoshi Shirai +1

Real scalar triplet dark matter, which is known to be an attractive candidate for a thermal WIMP, is comprehensively studied paying particular attention to the Sommerfeld effect on…

Gravitational Wave from Axion-SU(2) Gauge Fields: Effective Field Theory for Kinetically Driven Inflation

Yuki Watanabe, Eiichiro Komatsu

Building on Weinberg's approach to effective field theory for inflation, we construct an effective Lagrangian for a pseudo scalar (axion) inflaton field with shift symmetry. In thi…
