Testing Dark Energy and Light Particles via Black Hole Evaporation at Colliders
Michael Doran, Joerg Jaeckel
We show that collider experiments have the potential to exclude a light scalar field as well as generic models of modified gravity as dark energy candidates. Our mechanism uses the…
Analyze This! A Cosmological Constraint Package for CMBEASY
Michael Doran, Christian M. Mueller
We introduce a Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation and data analysis package that extends the CMBEASY software. We have taken special care in implementing an adaptive step algorith…
Recent Constraints on Models of Quintessence
Michael Doran
We perform a comparison of the WMAP measurements with the predictions of quintessence cosmological models of dark energy. We consider a wide range of quintessence models, including…
Loop Corrections to Scalar Quintessence Potentials
Michael Doran, Joerg Jaeckel
The stability of scalar quintessence potentials under quantum fluctuations is investigated both for uncoupled models and models with a coupling to fermions. We find that uncoupled…
The Influence of Quintessence on the Separation of CMB Peaks
Michael Doran, Matthew Lilley, Jan Schwindt +1
A hypothetical dark energy component may have an equation of state that is different from a cosmological constant and possibly even changing in time. The spacing of the cosmic micr…
