We show how easy it is to get the Sommerfeld enhancement for a Yukawa potential, for definite partial waves, beyond the S wave analyzed in previous literature. In particular, we report results for the P wave (for which there is a resonant…
We show that oscillations of self-interacting ultralight dark matter with a characteristic energy scale $ \tilde{m} \simeq 1~eV $ naturally act as an extra radiation component just before the recombination era, decreasing the sound horizon…

Self-interacting dark matter offers an interesting alternative to collisionless dark matter because of its ability to preserve the large-scale success of the cold dark matter model, while seemingly solving its challenges on small scales. We…

We carry out a model independent study of resonant photon scattering off dark matter (DM) particles. The DM particle chi_1 can feature an electric or magnetic transition dipole moment which couples it with photons and a heavier neutral…
We study a scale invariant extension of the standard model which can explain simultaneously dark matter and the hierarchy problem. In our set-up, we introduce a scalar and a spinor as two-component dark matter in addition to scalon field as…

Neutrinos -- amongst the lightest known particles -- can mediate a force driving dark matter self-interaction and the small scale structure of the universe. We explore such a possibility in the simplest neutrino portal dark sector model…
Self-interacting dark matter scenarios have recently attracted much attention, as a possible means to alleviate the tension between N-body simulations and observations of the dark matter distribution on galactic and sub-galactic scales. The…
Neutrino mass explanations of the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits and a hot dark matter component require one of three patterns of those masses, as already pointed out by us. Recently there have been indications of a non-vanishing…

We have investigated neutralino dark matter in the framework of minimal supersymmetric Standard Model focusing on the coannihilatioin region. In this region, where the particle whose mass is tightly degenerated with the neutralino dark…
