Indirect searches for dark matter bound state formation and level transitions
Iason Baldes, Francesca Calore, Kalliopi Petraki +2
Indirect searches for dark matter (DM) have conventionally been applied to the products of DM annihilation or decay. If DM couples to light force carriers, however, it can be captu…
Non-Cold Dark Matter from Primordial Black Hole Evaporation
Iason Baldes, Quentin Decant, Deanna C. Hooper +1
Dark matter coupled solely gravitationally can be produced through the decay of primordial black holes in the early universe. If the dark matter is lighter than the initial black h…
Forays into the dark side of the swamp
Iason Baldes, Debtosh Chowdhury, Michel H. G. Tytgat
Motivated by the swampland conjectures, we study cosmological signatures of a quintessence potential which induces time variation in the low energy effective field theory. After de…
Strong gravitational radiation from a simple dark matter model
Iason Baldes, Camilo Garcia-Cely
A rather minimal possibility is that dark matter consists of the gauge bosons of a spontaneously broken symmetry. Here we explore the possibility of detecting the gravitational wav…
High Scale Electroweak Phase Transition: Baryogenesis & Symmetry Non-Restoration
Iason Baldes, Geraldine Servant
We explore the possibility that the electroweak phase transition happens at a scale much higher than the electroweak scale today. In this context, high scale CP-violating sources f…
Generation of Asymmetric Dark Matter and Gravitational Waves
Iason Baldes
We consider the possibility of a gravitational wave signal in an asymmetric dark matter model. In this model a generative sector produces both the baryon asymmetry and a dark matte…
