We propose a new mechanism for the formation of dark matter clumps in the radiation era. We assume that a light scalar field is decoupled from matter and oscillates harmonically around its vacuum expectation value. We include…

With the emersion of precise cosmology and the emergence of cosmic tensions, we are faced with the question of whether the simple model of cold dark matter needs to be extended and whether doing so can alleviate the tensions and improve our…

We investigate a variation of the Simplest Little Higgs (SLH) model that is invariant under a discrete $\CZ_2$ symmetry. Our motivation for imposing this symmetry is the two dark matter candidates it implies, a scalar $\eta$ and a heavy…

We propose a model of nearly degenerate Majorana dark matter (DM) in a gauged $U(1)_{L_\mu - L_\tau}$ extension of the Standard Model. Spontaneous symmetry breaking generates a dominant Majorana mass via a strong Yukawa coupling, splitting…

We investigate the possibility that Dark Matter (dm) could be made of scalar candidates and focus, in particular, on the unusual mass range between a few MeV's and a few GeV's. After showing why the Lee-Weinberg limit (which usually forbids…

The thermal inflation is the most plausible mechanism that solves the cosmological moduli problem naturally. We discuss relic abundance of superheavy particle $X$ in the presence of the thermal inflation assuming that its lifetime is longer…

In this work, we present UV completions of the recently proposed number-changing Co-SIMP freeze-out mechanism. In contrast to the standard cannibalistic-type dark matter picture that occurs entirely in the dark sector, the $3\to 2$ process…

Numerous observations on astrophysical and cosmological scales can be interpreted to mean that, in addition to the familiar kind of matter well described by the standard model of elementary particle physics, there exists Dark Matter (DM).…

We consider Dark Matter composed of an oscillating singlet scalar field. On top of the mass term, the scalar is equipped with a potential spontaneously breaking Z_2-symmetry. This potential dominates at early times and leads to the…

In many models, stability of dark matter particles is protected by a conserved Z_2 quantum number. However dark matter can be stabilized by other discrete symmetry groups, and examples of such models with custom-tailored field content have…

Scenarios for multi-component scalar dark matter based on a single $Z_N$ ($N\geq 4$) symmetry are simple and well-motivated. In this paper we investigate, for the first time, the phenomenology of the $Z_5$ model for two-component dark…

This is a brief review on some properties of galaxies in the fuzzy dark matter model, where dark matter is an ultra-light scalar particle with mass $m = O(10^{-22})eV$. From quantum pressure, dark matter has a halo length scale which can…

It has been suggested that dark matter particles which scatter inelastically from detector target nuclei could explain the apparent incompatibility of the DAMA modulation signal (interpreted as evidence for particle dark matter) with the…

We consider a model where two new scalars are introduced in the standard model, assuming classical scale invariance. In this model the scale invariance is broken by quantum corrections and one of the new scalars acquires non-zero vacuum…

In this work, we explore the potential of probing the inelastic dark matter (DM) model with an extra U(1)D gauge symmetry at the Large Hadron Collider, ForwArd Search ExpeRiment and Super Tau Charm Factory. To saturate the observed DM relic…

We examine the non-thermal production of dark matter in a scalar extended singlet doublet fermion model where the lightest admixture of the fermions constitutes a suitable dark matter candidate. The dark sector is non-minimal with the MeV…

We consider electrically neutral complex vector particles $V$ below the GeV mass scale that, from a low energy perspective, couple to the photon via higher dimensional form factor interactions. We derive ensuing astrophysical constraints by…

Low-mass (sub-eV) scalar field dark matter may induce apparent oscillations of fundamental constants, resulting in corresponding oscillations of the size and the index of refraction of solids. Laser interferometers are highly sensitive to…

The conventional Friedmann cosmology is known to be in tension with the existence of stable particles having interaction strength typical for supersymmetry and heavier than several TeV. A possible way to save life of such particles may be a…

We revisit the possibility of light scalar dark matter, in the MeV to GeV mass bracket and coupled to electrons through fermion or vector mediators, in light of significant experimental and observational advances that probe new physics…
