MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly constrained by the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses, but also by ...

New constraints on the mass of fermionic dark matter from dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Alexey Boyarsky, Diego Blas Temino, Kyrylo Bondarenko

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are excellent systems to probe the nature of fermionic dark matter due to their high observed dark matter phase-space density. In this work, we review, revise, and improve upon previous phase-space considerations to obtain lower b ...

Probing sub-eV Dark Matter decays with PTOLEMY

Alexey Boyarsky, Kyrylo Bondarenko

When the Dark Matter mass is below the eV-scale, its cosmological occupation number exceeds the ones of photons from the cosmic microwave background as well as of relic neutrinos. If such Dark Matter decays to pairs of neutrinos, it implies that experiment ...

An allowed window for heavy neutral leptons below the kaon mass

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric, Kyrylo Bondarenko

The extension of the Standard Model with two gauge-singlet Majorana fermions can simultaneously explain two beyond-the-Standard-model phenomena: neutrino masses and oscillations, as well as the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. The ...

The completed SDSS-IV extended baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey: pairwise-inverse probability and angular correction for fibre collisions in clustering measurements

Cheng Zhao, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Amélie Tamone

The completed extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) catalogues contain redshifts of 344 080 quasars at 0.8 < z < 2.2, 174 816 luminous red galaxies between 0.6 < z < 1.0, and 173 736 emission-line galaxies over 0.6 < z < 1.1 in order to ...

Constraining dark photons and their connection to 21 cm cosmology with CMB data

Kyrylo Bondarenko

In the inhomogeneous Universe, the cosmological conversion of dark photons into ordinary photons (and vice versa) may happen at a great number of resonance redshifts. This alters the CMB observed energy spectrum and degree of small-scale anisotropies. We u ...

Robustness of cosmic neutrino background detection in the cosmic microwave background

Julien Lesgourgues, Benjamin Audren

The existence of a cosmic neutrino background can be probed indirectly by CMB experiments, not only by measuring the background density of radiation in the universe, but also by searching for the typical signatures of the fluctuations of free-streaming spe ...

Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation measurements

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Schlegel, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac

We derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwave background (CMB) data and a recent reanalysis of Type Ia supernova (SN) data. In p ...

The effective gravitational decoupling between dark matter and the CMB

Neutrino cosmology and Planck

Julien Lesgourgues

Relic neutrinos play an important role in the evolution of the Universe, modifying some of the cosmological observables. We summarize the main aspects of cosmological neutrinos and describe how the precision of present cosmological data can be used to lear ...

Using the CMB angular power spectrum to study Dark Matter-photon interactions

Weak scale baryogenesis in a supersymmetric scenario with R-parity violation

We investigate the connection between R-parity violation (RPV) in supersymmetric models and Baryogenesis. First we discuss in detail the assumptions of a theorem by Nanopoulos and Weinberg on the CP asymmetry generated from the decay of massive particles. ...

Matter and antimatter in the universe
