SUNBIRD : a simulation-based model for full-shape density-split clustering

Combining galaxy clustering information from regions of different environmental densities can help break cosmological parameter degeneracies and access non-Gaussian information from the density field that is not readily captured by the standard two-point c ...

Search for dark photon decays to μ+μ- at NA62

Radoslav Marchevski, Alina Kleimenova

The NA62 experiment at CERN, designed to study the ultra-rare decay K+ -> pi(+) nu(nu) over bar, has also collected data in beam-dump mode. In this configuration, dark photons may be produced by protons dumped on an absorber and reach a decay volume beginn ...

GOGREEN: A critical assessment of environmental trends in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations at z approximate to 1

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

Recent observations have shown that the environmental quenching of galaxies at z & SIM; 1 is qualitatively different to that in the local Universe. However, the physical origin of these differences has not yet been elucidated. In addition, while low-redshi ...

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 ...

Euclid : Effects of sample covariance on the number counts of galaxy clusters

Georges Meylan, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Aims. We investigate the contribution of shot-noise and sample variance to uncertainties in the cosmological parameter constraints inferred from cluster number counts, in the context of the Euclid survey. ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Michele Lucente

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 ...

Constraints on dark matter to dark radiation conversion in the late universe with DES-Y1 and external data

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We study a phenomenological class of models where dark matter converts to dark radiation in the low redshift epoch. This class of models, dubbed DMDR, characterizes the evolution of comoving dark-matter density with two extra parameters, and may be able to ...

Searches are performed for both promptlike and long-lived dark photons, A ', produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. These searches look for A '->mu(+)mu(-) decays using a data sample corresponding to an integrated lumino ...

Effective photon mass and (dark) photon conversion in the inhomogeneous Universe

Kyrylo Bondarenko

Photons traveling cosmological distances through the inhomogeneous Universe experience a great variation in their in-medium induced effective mass. Using the EAGLE suite of hydrodynamical simulations, we infer the free electron distribution and thereby the ...

Search for the Dark Photon and the Dark Higgs Boson at Belle

Olivier Schneider, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta, Xiao Wang

The dark photon A' and the dark Higgs boson h' are hypothetical constituents featured in a number of recently proposed dark sector models. Assuming prompt decays of both dark particles, we search for their production in the so-called Higgstrahlung channel ...

Planck intermediate results XXIV. Constraints on variations in fundamental constants

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

Any variation in the fundamental physical constants, more particularly in the fine structure constant, a, or in the mass of the electron, me, affects the recombination history of the Universe and cause an imprint on the cosmic microwave background angular ...

Separate constraints on early and late cosmology

Since the public release of Planck data, several attempts have been made to explain the observed small tensions with other data sets, most of them involving an extension of the Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) model. We try here an alternative approach ...

Cosmological parameter estimation with large scale structure observations

Conservative constraints on early cosmology with MONTE PYTHON

Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombination. As suggested in a previous work by Vonlanthen et al., it is possible to ...

Cosmological parameters from large scale structure - geometric versus shape information
