Recently, a new dark energy model called $\Lambda$HDE was proposed. In this model, dark energy consists of two parts: cosmological constant $\Lambda$ and holographic dark energy (HDE). Two key parameters of this model are the fractional…
We investigate the interactions of large composite dark matter (DM) states with the Standard Model (SM) sector. Elastic scattering with SM nuclei can be coherently enhanced by factors as large as A^2, where A is the number of constituents…
We study the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect using a model-independent parameterization of the dark energy equation of state. Cosmic variance severely restricts the class of models distinguishable from Lambda-CDM. In particular if the…
Dark Energy models are numerous and distinguishing between them is becoming difficult. However, using distinct observational probes can ease this quest and gives better assessment to the nature of Dark energy. To this end, the plausibility…
We present Self-Destructing Dark Matter (SDDM), a new class of dark matter models which are detectable in large neutrino detectors. In this class of models, a component of dark matter can transition from a long-lived state to a short-lived…

Small distortions in the observed shapes of distant galaxies, a cosmic shear due to gravitational lensing, can be used to simultaneously determine the distance-redshift relation, r(z), and the density contrast growth factor, g(z). Both of…
In this note two cosmological models representing the flat Friedmann Universe filled with a Chaplygin fluid, with or without dust, are analyzed in terms of the recently proposed "statefinder" parameters. Trajectories of both models in the…
The problem of state reconstruction and estimation is considered for a class of switched dynamical systems whose subsystems are modeled using linear differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). Since this system class imposes time-varying…
The confluence of major theoretical, experimental, and observational advances are providing a unique perspective on the equation of state of dense neutron-rich matter -- particularly its symmetry energy -- and its imprint on the mass-radius…
We study under which conditions a scalar particle is a viable WIMP Dark Matter candidate with Higgs and dilaton interactions. The theory is a composite Higgs model with top partial compositeness where both the Higgs and the Dark Matter…

It has been suggested that several small-scale structure anomalies in $\Lambda$CDM cosmology can be solved by strong self-interaction between dark matter particles. It was shown by Braaten and Hammer that the presence of a near threshold…
The coupling between the dark components provides a new approach to mitigate the coincidence problem of cosmological standard model. In this paper, dark energy is treated as a fluid with a constant equation of state, whose coupling with…

Directional detection is a promising Dark Matter search strategy. Taking advantage on the rotation of the Solar system around the galactic center through the Dark Matter halo, it allows to show a direction dependence of WIMP events that may…
