Dark Matter Stability from residual flavour symmetries
Giacomo Landini, Simone Marciano, Federico Mescia
We propose a model-independent framework in which Dark Matter stability emerges naturally from residual discrete symmetries left unbroken by the spontaneous breaking…
How invisible can QCD axions be? From Supernova emission to Cherenkov signals
Luca Di Luzio, Vincenzo Fiorentino, Maurizio Giannotti +2
We investigate the scenario of maximally invisible axions, namely QCD axions whose interactions with matter arise exclusively from the irreducible coupling to gluons responsible fo…
Constraints on a Light Leptophilic Scalar from Dark-Sector Couplings
Marco Graziani, Giacomo Landini, Federico Mescia +2
We study a minimal framework where a Majorana fermion dark matter particle interacts with a light scalar mediator coupled mainly to electrons. We examine both freeze-out and freeze…
Axions at the meV Crossroads: Theory, Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Experiments
Michele Cicoli, Francesco D'Eramo, Luca Di Luzio +18
The meV mass range has emerged as a focal point in axion physics, where advances in theory, cosmology, astrophysics, and experimental techniques converge. Axions in this mass range…
Axion-Like Electrophilic Portal for Pion Dark Matter
Vincenzo Fiorentino, Ji-Heng Guo, Giacomo Landini +1
We investigate a scenario where Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) dark matter interacts with an axion-like particle (ALP) that couples exclusively to electrons. This min…
Dark Matter emission at Belle II and NA62 in Minimal Flavor Violation framework
Federico Mescia, Shohei Okawa, Joel Swallow +1
Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) provides a compelling framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model, in which new QCD-singlet fields transforming under the global $\math…
Scalar Rayleigh Dark Matter: current bounds and future prospects
Daniele Barducci, Dario Buttazzo, Alessandro Dondarini +4
Dark Matter can interact with electroweak gauge bosons via higher-dimensional operators, in spite of being neutral under gauge interactions, much like neutral atoms interact with p…
Multi-Component Dark Matter from Minimal Flavor Violation
Federico Mescia, Shohei Okawa, Keyun Wu
Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) offers an appealing framework for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model. Interestingly, within the MFV framework, a new colorless field that tr…
Pseudo Goldstone Bosons Phenomenology in Minimal Walking Technicolor
Tuomas Hapola, Federico Mescia, Marco Nardecchia +1
We construct the non-linear realized Lagrangian for the Goldstone Bosons associated to the breaking pattern of SU(4) to SO(4). This pattern is expected to occur in any Technicolor…
