Dark matter and Higgs bosons in the MSSM
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate dark matter (DM) in the context of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model (MSSM) and search for solutions that satisfy the flavor constraints from B physics, and give a DM candidate with the correct thermal relic density.

Hunting Dark Matter Gamma-Ray Lines with the Fermi LAT
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a dedicated search for gamma-ray lines coming from dark matter annihilation or decay in the Galactic halo using the two-year Fermi LAT data, and using a binned profile likelihood method, they search for significant line features in the energy spectrum of the diffuse flux observed in different regions of the sky.

Lectures on Dark Matter Physics
TL;DR: The TASI 2015 summer school as discussed by the authors provided an introduction to the basics of dark matter physics, and the primary goal was to build an understanding of how observations constrain the assumptions that can be made about the astro- and particle physics properties of the missing matter, which constitutes nearly 85% of the Universe's matter density.

Light dark matter from the U(1)X sector in the NMSSM with gauge mediation
TL;DR: In this paper, a gauge mediated next-to-the minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) is considered with a light U(1)(X) sector plus a heavy sector ((H) over barh, Hh), which can provide both a light (similar to 7GeV) and a heavy (TeV-scale) dark matter without introducing any ad hoc new scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitino Dark Matter and general neutralino NLSP
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the scenario of gravitino DM with a general neutralino NLSP in a model independent way and check how those bounds are relaxed for a Higgsino or a Wino NNLSP in comparison to the Bino neutralino case and look for possible loopholes in the general MSSM parameter space.

TL;DR: In this article, the Robertson-Walker Metric is used to measure the radius of the Planck Epoch in the expanding universe, which is a measure of the number of atoms in the universe.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial Symmetries of Weak Interactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the weak and electromagnetic interactions of leptons are examined under the hypothesis that the weak interactions are mediated by vector bosons, and it is shown that the simplest partially-symmetric model reproducing the observed electromagnetic and weak interactions requires the existence of at least four vector-boson fields (including the photon).
