Neutrinos are the second most abundant particle in the universe. Since the last 50 years, Neutrino physics has been a source of limelight in modern physics because of the incredible characteristics of this elusive particle. According to the…
Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model neutralino dark matter candidates in the (1-15) GeV range are found with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo scanning code. A very light, singlet-like Higgs and/or CP-odd Higgs is needed in order to…
It is pointed out that a bino-dominated well-tempered bino-higgsino in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with heavy non-SM- like scalars can satisfy the 2016 LUX constraints on the scattering cross-section of dark matter on…
We investigate an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by right-handed neutrinos (the $\nu$MSM) to incorporate neutrino masses consistent with oscillation experiments. Within this theory, the only candidates for dark matter particles are…
We investigate the bounds on the mass of the lightest neutralino from rare meson decays within the MSSM with and without minimal flavor violation. We present explicit formulae for the two-body decays of mesons into light neutralinos and…
We establish a quantitative lower bound on the reach of flat norm minimizers for boundaries in $\mathbb{R}^2$.
The exchange of massless neutrinos between heavy fermions (e.g. $e,p,n$) gives rise to a long-range 2-body force. It is shown that the analogous many-body force can lead to an unphysically large energy density in white dwarfs and neutron…
In this talk we review existing cosmological and astrophysical bounds on light (with the mass in keV - MeV range) and super-weakly interacting dark matter candidates. A particular attention is paid to the sterile neutrino DM candidate.
Cosmology at present provides the nominally strongest constraint on the masses of standard model neutrinos. However, this constraint extremely dependent on the nature of the dark energy component of the Universe. When the dark energy…
Using the latest LHC data, we analyse and compare the lower limits on the masses of gluinos and the lightest stop in two natural supersymmetric motivated scenarios: one with a neutralino being the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and…
We examine the possibility of a light (below 46 GeV) neutralino dark matter (DM) candidate within the 19-parameter phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM) in the light of various recent experimental results,…
Under the hypothesis that the MSSM neutralino accounts for the observed dark matter density, we investigate how light this particle is still allowed to be after the latest LHC data. In particular, we discuss the impact of searches for…
An upperbound on the mass of the lightest neutral scalar Higgs boson is calculated in an extended version of the minimal supersymmetric standard model that contains an additional Higgs singlet. We integrate the renormalization group…
The simplest unified extension of the MSSM with bi-linear R--Parity violation naturally predicts a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum, in which one neutrino acquires mass by mixing with neutralinos, while the other two get mass…
It is widely believed that, for a given Top mass, the Higgs mass has a lower bound: if m_Higgs is too small, the Higgs vacuum is unstable due to Top dynamics. From vacuum instability, the state-of-the-art calculation of the lower bound is…
We discuss a robust and fairly model-independent upper bound on the possible neutrino flux produced by neutralino annihilation in the center of our galaxy, and show that its detection with present or future neutrino telescopes is highly…
Bounds on cross section measurements of chargino pair production at LEP yield a bound on the chargino mass. If the GUT relation is assumed, the lightest neutralino must be heavier than $\approx 45 -50\GeV$. If no GUT relation is assumed, no…
The large amount of data accumulated at LEP2 by the ALEPH experiment has been used to search for supersymmetric particles. No signal has been found therefore limits have been determined. Within the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric…
We derive a model-independent upper bound on the scale of Majorana-neutrino mass generation. The upper bound is $4\pi v^2/\sqrt 3 m_\nu$, where $v \simeq 246$ GeV is the weak scale and $m_\nu$ is the Majorana neutrino mass. For neutrino…
