Thermal freeze-out is a prominent example of dark matter (DM) production mechanism in the early Universe that can yield the correct relic density of stable weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). At the other end of the mass scale,…
We examine nonrelativistic particles that decay into relativistic products in big rip, little rip, and pseudo-rip models for the future evolution of the universe. In contrast to decays that occur in standard $\Lambda$CDM, the evolution of…
