Primordial black hole formation from the merger of oscillons
Kentaro Kasai, Naoya Kitajima
We show that the merger of oscillons results in a broad spectrum of the oscillon mass. A huge number of oscillon samples obtained from numerical lattice simulations reveal that the…

Resonant production of sterile neutrino dark matter with a refined numerical scheme
Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai
The existence of a large primordial neutrino asymmetry is an intriguing possibility, both observationally and theoretically. Such an asymmetry can lead to the resonant production o…

Gravitational Waves from Particles Produced from Bubble Collisions in First-Order Phase Transitions
Keisuke Inomata, Marc Kamionkowski, Kentaro Kasai +1
We discuss a new source of gravitational waves (GWs) from first-order phase transitions. The collisions of bubbles of the new phase can efficiently produce particles that couple to…
