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…

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…
