Abstract: The CATCHY experiment (Coherent Atomic Transitions in Counter-pulsed Hydrogen) is a pathfinder experiment to develop a method for amplifying weak particle interactions through macroscopic quantum coherence. Traditional astroparticle detection methods currently improve sensitivity by increasing target mass and exposure time, and at present often require tons... -

Abstract: We consider the effect of Light (but Massive) Relics (LiMRs) on the clustering of matter in the early Universe. We account for the fact that LiMRs which are massive enough may cluster on large length scales at early times, and may thus impact weak lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) even on small angular scales. In particular, we find that LiMRs in... -

Abstract: We consider a dark sector consisting of fermionic dark matter (DM) charged under a broken dark gauge symmetry, interacting with the Standard Model through kinetic mixing. In such models, the DM annihilation cross section is typically suppressed by the small kinetic mixing and or a heavy mediator, often leading to an overabundant relic density. We show that the...
