Dynamics of metastable Standard Model particles from long-lived particle decays in the MeV primordial plasma
Kensuke Akita, Gideon Baur, Maksym Ovchynnikov +2
We investigate the cosmological impact of hypothetical unstable new physics particles that decay in the MeV-scale plasma of the Early Universe. Focusing on scenarios where the deca…
New physics decaying into metastable particles: impact on cosmic neutrinos
Kensuke Akita, Gideon Baur, Maksym Ovchynnikov +2
We investigate decays of hypothetical unstable new physics particles into metastable species such as muons, pions, or kaons in the Early Universe, when temperatures are in the MeV…
Not-so-inelastic Dark Matter
Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Felix Kahlhoefer, Maksym Ovchynnikov +1
Models of inelastic (or pseudo-Dirac) dark matter commonly assume an accidental symmetry between the left-handed and right-handed mass terms in order to suppress diagonal couplings…
