The origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) and the nature of dark matter are two of the most challenging problems in cosmology. We propose a scenario in which the gravitational collapse of large inhomogeneities at the…
A future Higgs Factory will provide improved precision on measurements of Higgs couplings beyond those obtained by the LHC, and will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of fundamental physics, including the mechanism of…
Low-scale supersymmetry breaking in string motivated theories implies the presence of O(100) TeV scale moduli, which generically lead to a significant modification of the history of the universe prior to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Such an…
Assuming the existence of a functional relation among the Standard Model (SM) couplings gauge $\alpha_1$ and quartic $\lambda$, we determine the mass of the Higgs particle. Similar considerations for the top and bottom Yukawa couplings in…
We propose a dark matter explanation to simultaneously account for the excess of antiproton-to-proton and positron power spectra observed in the AMS-02 experiment while having the right dark matter relic abundance and satisfying the current…
Effect of the electroweak non-conservation of the baryon number could be a key ingredient to explain the ratio of dark and baryonic densities. If dark matter is explained by dark atoms, in which stable -2n charged particles are bound with n…
Inelastic dark matter is an interesting scenario for light thermal dark matter which is fully consistent with all cosmological probes as well as direct and indirect dark matter detection. The required mass splitting between dark matter…
It has recently been pointed out that the underlying symmetry of dark matter may well be $U(1)_\chi$ (coming from $SO(10) \to SU(5) \times U(1)_\chi$) with the dark parity of any given particle determined by $(-1)^{Q_\chi+2j}$, where…
Many asymmetric dark matter scenarios have been proposed to date. Among them, perhaps the most motivated ones are those in which the dark matter asymmetry is induced from the baryon/lepton asymmetries via chemical equilibration without any…
The Standard Model (SM) plus a real gauge-singlet scalar field dubbed darkon (SM+D) is the simplest model possessing a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark-matter candidate. In this model, the parameters are constrained from dark…
The Higgs mass value is derived from a Hamiltonian on the Lie group U(3) where we relate strong and electroweak energy scales. The baryon states of nucleon and delta resonances originate in specific Bloch wave degrees of freedom coupled to…
We discuss the connection between the vacuum energy problem and the number of dark matter sectors and its relation to the cancellation of quadratic divergences both in the cosmological constant and simultaneously in the polarization tensor…
We investigate new and unusual signals that arise in theories where dark matter is asymmetric and carries a net antibaryon number, as may occur when the dark matter abundance is linked to the baryon abundance. Antibaryonic dark matter can…
We sift the impact of the recent Higgs precise measurements, and recent dark matter direct detection results, on the dark sector of an electroweak extension of the Standard Model that has a complex scalar as dark matter. We find that in…
We study the dark matter particle, the dark photon (DP), in the decay of the Higgs-like boson. The nature of dark matter is maintained through the hidden sector including the effects of breaking of the scale invariance. The model is based…
The upper bond on the branching ratio for $b\to s\gamma$ decays implies a stringent lower bound on the mass of the pseudoscalar Higgs boson of the MSSM if sparticles are heavy. This leads to an upper bound on the expected event rate in…
Dark matter can decay via gravity portals and contribute a minor decay (MD) width. This paper proposes that nonminimal coupling between the Higgs field and gravity can lead to additional gravity-Higgs portals for gravitational dark matter…
A search for dark matter particles is performed by looking for events with large transverse momentum imbalance and a recoiling Higgs boson decaying to either a pair of photons or a pair of $\tau$ leptons. The search is based on…
The nature of dark matter and the origin of the baryon asymmetry are two of the deepest mysteries of modern particle physics. In the absence of hints regarding a possible solution to these mysteries, many approaches have been developed to…
The idea of reduction of couplings provides a systematic procedure to search for relations among seemingly unrelated parameters of a renormalizable theory. As a consequence, such reduced theories exhibit more constrained parameter spaces.…
