The dynamics and detection possibility of a pseudo-FIMP (pFIMP) dark matter (DM) in the presence of a thermal DM have been studied in different contexts. The pFIMP phenomenology largely depends on the WIMP-like partner DM, as pFIMP…

Dark matter (DM) could couple to particles in the Standard Model (SM) through a light vector mediator. In the limit of small coupling, this portal could be responsible for producing the observed DM abundance through a mechanism known as…
