Cosmological signals of dark matter semi-annihilation
Boris Betancourt Kamenetskaia, Mathias Garny, Alejandro Ibarra +2
The growth of primordial density fluctuations in the early Universe leads to an inhomogeneous dark matter distribution at high redshift, where semi-annihilation processes of the fo…
Imprints of energy injection by compact dark stars in the 21-cm signal
Boris Betancourt Kamenetskaia, Alejandro Ibarra, Chris Kouvaris
A strongly self-interacting component of asymmetric dark matter particles can form compact dark stars. The high dark matter density in these objects may allow significant dark matt…
Attenuation of the ultra-high-energy neutrino flux by dark matter scatterings
Ivan Esteban, Alejandro Ibarra
A flux of ultra-high-energy (UHE) neutrinos, produced by astrophysical sources at cosmological distances, is anticipated to exist and reach Earth. In this paper, we investigate the…
Connecting cosmologically decaying dark matter to neutrino physics
Lea FuÃ, Mathias Garny, Alejandro Ibarra
Dark matter decays into invisible particles can leave an imprint in large-scale structure surveys due to a characteristic redshift-dependent suppression of the power spectrum. We p…
t-channel dark matter at the LHC -- a whitepaper
Chiara Arina, Benjamin Fuks, Luca Panizzi +67
This report, summarising work achieved in the context of the LHC Dark Matter Working Group, investigates the phenomenology of -channel dark matter models, spanning minimal setup…
Dark matter explanations for the neutrino emission from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068
Kensuke Akita, Alejandro Ibarra, Robert Zimmermann
We investigate the possibility that the high-energy neutrino flux observed from the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068 originates from dark matter annihilations within the density spike surro…
