Sensitivity of Next-Generation CMB Surveys to Neutrinos and Other Light Relics
Cynthia Trendafilova, Srinivasan Raghunathan, Benjamin Wallisch +33
Neutrinos and other light relics leave characteristic imprints in the cosmic microwave background anisotropies, making their observation a sensitive probe of the particle content a…
Mixed Dark Matter: Limits from the Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
Wendy Crumrine, Dominic Pang, Ethan O. Nadler +2
The Standard Model of particle physics contains a diverse set of particle species, motivating the possibility of a similarly complex dark sector. Here we study two-component dark m…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Probing new signatures of ultralight axions with gravitational lensing
Alex Laguë, Keir K. Rogers, Mathew S. Madhavacheril +14
Ultralight axions (ULAs) are well-motivated dark matter particle candidates that arise in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. ULAs with mass $m_\mathrm{a} \l…
Warm, not Fuzzy: Generalized Ultralight Dark Matter Limits from Milky Way Satellites
Ethan O. Nadler, Mustafa A. Amin, Risa H. Wechsler +3
We generalize lower limits on the dark matter (DM) particle mass derived from Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxy abundances to scenarios in which DM is an ultralight scalar field…
Sensitivity of the Global 21-cm Signal to Dark Matter-Baryon Scattering
Aryan Rahimieh, Priyank Parashari, Rui An +3
With current and upcoming experiments on the horizon, the global 21-cm signal can open up new avenues for probing dark matter (DM) physics at redshifts that are otherwise inaccessi…
Lyα forest bounds on sterile neutrino production via neutrino self-interactions
Priyank Parashari, Vera Gluscevic, Yue Zhang +3
Sterile neutrinos in the keV mass range have long been considered a well-motivated dark matter (DM) candidate. In this work, we explore a sterile neutrino production mechanism thro…
