Cold and fuzzy dark sector
Christian Capanelli, Elisa G. M. Ferreira, Evan McDonough
We introduce the Fuzzy Dark Sector (FDS) scenario as a rich, interacting system and candidate for dark matter. This serves as a natural extension of the single-component, non-inter…
Wave Interference in Self-Interacting Fuzzy Dark Matter
Christian Capanelli, Wayne Hu, Evan McDonough
In the Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM) scenario, the dark matter is composed of an ultra-light scalar field with coherence length and wave interference on astrophysical scales. Scalar fiel…
Gravitational Production of Completely Dark Photons with Nonminimal Couplings to Gravity
Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb +1
Dark photons are a theorized massive spin-1 particle which can be produced via various mechanisms, including cosmological gravitational particle production (GPP) in the early unive…
Runaway Gravitational Production of Dark Photons
Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb +1
We demonstrate that gravitational particle production (GPP) of a massive, Abelian, vector (Proca) field during inflation in the presence of nonminimal coupling to gravity may suffe…
Cosmological Implications of Kalb-Ramond-Like-Particles
Christian Capanelli, Leah Jenks, Edward W. Kolb +1
The Kalb-Ramond field is an antisymmetric, rank-two tensor field which most notably appears in the context of string theory, but has largely been unexplored in the context of cosmo…
Cosmic Filament Spin from Dark Matter Vortices
Stephon Alexander, Christian Capanelli, Elisa G. M. Ferreira +1
The recent observational evidence for cosmic filament spin on megaparsec scales (Wang et al, Nature Astronomy 5, 839-845 (2021)) demands an explanation in the physics of dark matte…
