Scalaron dark matter dynamics: effects of Higgs non-minimal coupling to gravity
Shibendu Gupta Choudhury, Koushik Dutta, Deep Ghosh
One of the key features of the -gravity is the embedding of a scalar field, scalaron, into the gravity sector. The scalaron interacts with the Standard Model (SM) matter field…
Production of Gravitational Waves from Preheating and Tachyonic Instabilities
Khursid Alam, Koushik Dutta, Ahamadullah Khan
We analyze GW production during preheating for an -attractor potential terminating in the positive-curvature regime, with energy transfer via . Linear Floquet analysi…
DESI results: Hint towards coupled dark matter and dark energy
Amlan Chakraborty, Prolay K. Chanda, Subinoy Das +1
We investigate a scenario where a dark energy quintessence field with positive kinetic energy is coupled with dark matter. With two different self-interaction potentials for t…
CMB Constraints on Natural Inflation with Gauge Field Production
Khursid Alam, Koushik Dutta, Nur Jaman
The natural inflation model with a periodic cosine potential is ruled out by recent Planck 2018 data for the decay constant . If the Planck data is combi…
Improved Treatment of Bosonic Dark Matter Dynamics in Neutron Stars: Consequences and Constraints
Koushik Dutta, Deep Ghosh, Biswarup Mukhopadhyaya
It is conceivable that a bosonic dark matter (DM) with non-gravitational interactions with SM particles will be accumulated at the center of a neutron star (NS) and can lead to bla…
