We present a model of partially interacting dark matter (PIDM) within the framework of supersymmetry with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. Dark sector atoms are produced through Affleck-Dine baryogenesis in the dark sector while avoiding…

Apart from its gravitational interactions, dark matter (DM) has remained so far elusive in laboratory searches. One possible explanation is that the relevant interactions to explain its relic abundance are mainly gravitational. In this work…

Extra dimensions (ED) can provide a useful tool for model-building. In this paper we introduce a single, flat ED extension of the kinetic-mixing/dark photon (DP) portal for dark matter (DM) interactions with the Standard Model (SM) assuming…

We present a new study on the Gravity-Mediated Dark Matter (GMDM) scenario, where interactions between dark matter (DM) and the Standard Model are mediated by spin-two particles. Expanding on this established framework, we explore a novel…

The matter power spectrum at comoving scales of (1-40) h^{-1} Mpc is very sensitive to the presence of Warm Dark Matter (WDM) particles with large free streaming lengths. We present constraints on the mass of WDM particles from a combined…

We propose a two-component asymmetric FIMP (feebly interacting massive particle) dark matter (DM) model in which both DM candidates are real scalar fields. The model is an extension of the Standard Model (SM) by two scalar DM components and…

We study a minimal scenario to realize non-thermal leptogenesis and UV freeze-in of a Standard Model (SM) gauge singlet fermionic dark matter (DM) simultaneously, with inflaton field playing a non-trivial role in their yields. The…

A model of dark matter (DM) that communicates with the Standard Model (SM) exclusively through suppressed dimension five operator is discussed. The SM is augmented with a symmetry $U(1)_X \otimes Z_2$, where $U(1)_X$ is gauged and broken…

We demonstrate that in a two component dark matter (DM) set up, when DM$_1$ is equilibrated with the thermal bath, the other DM$_2$, in spite of having feeble or negligible interaction with the SM particles, can be brought to equilibrium…

Dark matter (DM) genesis via Ultraviolet (UV) freeze-in embeds the seed of reheating temperature and dynamics in its relic density. Thus, discovery of such a DM candidate can possibly open the window for post-inflationary dynamics. However,…
