We point out a serendipitous link between warm dark matter (WDM) models for structure formation on the one hand and the high sensitivity energy range (1-10 keV) for x-ray photon detection on the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories on the…
In this work, we discuss two component fermionic FIMP dark matter (DM) in a popular $B-L$ extension of the standard model (SM) with inverse seesaw mechanism. Due to the introduced $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ discrete symmetry, a keV SM gauge singlet…
Sterile neutrinos, fermions with no standard model couplings [SU(2) singlets], are predicted by most extensions of the standard model, and may be the dark matter. I describe the nonthermal production and linear perturbation evolution in the…
Warm dark matter particles with masses in the keV range have been linked with the large group representations in gauge theories through a high number of species at decoupling. In this paper, we address WDM fermionic degrees of freedom from…
We propose a two-component dark matter (DM) scenario by extending the Standard Model with two additional $SU(2)_L$ doublets, one scalar, and another fermion. To ensure the stability of the DM components, we impose a global $Z_2 \times…
We show that a standard model gauge singlet fermion field, with mass of order keV or larger, and involved in the inverse seesaw mechanism of light neutrino mass generation, can be a good warm dark matter candidate. Our framework is based on…
We examine thermal warm dark matter (WDM) models that are being probed by current constraints, and the relationship between the particle dark matter spin and commensurate thermal history. We find significant corrections to the linear matter…
Warm Dark Matter (WDM) particles with masses ($\sim$ kilo electronvolt) offer an attractive solution to the small-scale issues faced by the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm. The delay of structure formation in WDM models and the associated…
Standard Model neutrinos are not usually considered plausible dark matter candidates because the usual treatment of their decoupling in the early universe implies that their mass must be sufficiently small to make them ``hot'' dark matter.…
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…
Sterile neutrino dark matter, a popular alternative to the WIMP paradigm, has generally been studied in non-supersymmetric setups. If the underlying theory is supersymmetric, we find that several interesting and novel dark matter features…
We develop farther a simple model of cold dark matter consisting of sterile spin-1/2 fermions (sterinos), whose mass is generated by a nonzero vacuum expectation value of a field of sterile scalars (sterons). In this model, the sterile…
The freeze-in mechanism of dark matter production provides a simple and intriguing alternative to the WIMP paradigm. In this paper, we analyze whether freeze-in can be used to account for the dark matter in the so-called singlet fermionic…
We present a novel candidate for cold dark matter consisting of condensed Cooper pairs in a theory of interacting fermions with broken chiral symmetry. Establishing the thermal history from the early radiation era to the present, the…
Warm Dark Matter (WDM) research is progressing fast, the subject is new and WDM essentially works, naturally reproducing the astronomical observations over all scales: small (galactic) and large (cosmological) scales (LambdaWDM). Evidence…
The Inert Doublet Model (IDM), a two Higgs extension of the Standard Model with an unbroken $Z_2$ symmetry, is a simple and yet rich model of dark matter. We present a systematic analysis of the dark matter abundance and investigate the…
Sterile neutrinos produced through oscillations are a well motivated dark matter candidate, but recent constraints from observations have ruled out most of the parameter space. We analyze the impact of new interactions on the evolution of…
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model to consistently explain the observation of a peak in the galactic X-ray spectrum at 3.55 keV and the light neutrino masses along with the baryon asymmetry of the universe. The baryon…
It has been pointed out in ref.[1] that in the nuMSM (Standard Model extended by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale), there is a corner in the parameter space where CP-violating resonant oscillations…
It is known that a keV scale sterile neutrino is a good warm dark matter candidate. We study how this possibility could be realized in the context of gauge extensions of the standard model. The na\"ive expectation leads to large thermal…
