Particle Cosmology: 1980-2000
Edward W. Kolb
A new field, \emph{Particle Cosmology}, emerged at the interface of elementary particle physics and cosmology in the last two decades of the 20th century. In this chapter of the \e…
Creation of spin-3/2 dark matter via cosmological gravitational particle production
Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, Evan McDonough +1
We study the cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) of spin-3/2 particles during and after cosmic inflation, and map the parameter space that can realize the observe…
Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics
Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long
Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play…
Stellar-Mass Black Holes in the Solar Neighborhood
James R. Chisholm, Scott Dodelson, Edward W. Kolb
We search for nearby, isolated, accreting, ``stellar-mass'' (3 to ) black holes. Models suggest a synchrotron spectrum in visible wavelengths and some emission in X-ray…
New Supernova Constraints on Sterile Neutrino Production
E. W. Kolb, R. N. Mohapatra, V. L. Teplitz
We consider the possibility that a light sterile-neutrino species can be produced by scattering during the cooling of a proto-neutron star. If we parameterize the steri…
Testing Inflation with the Cosmic Microwave Background
Scott Dodelson, Lloyd Knox, Edward W. Kolb
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy may result from both scalar and tensor perturbations. For a sufficiently narrow range of angular scales, CMB perturbations can be chara…
