22. Phenomenology of the companion-axion model

02/12/2022, 14:20

We study the phenomenology of the ‘companion-axion model’ consisting of two coupled QCD axions. The second axion is required to rescue the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong-CP problem from the effects of colored gravitational instantons. We investigate here the combined phenomenology of axion-axion and axionphoton interactions, recasting present and future single-axion bounds onto the...

23. Decaying warm dark matter

02/12/2022, 14:40

During the recent years, decaying dark matter models have received renewed interest as proposed solutions to the current cosmological tensions, mainly due to their flexible expansion histories and clustering properties. While much focus has been on decaying cold dark matter, in this talk, I will present our recent work on decaying warm dark matter based on our recent preprint arXiv:2205.13628....

26. Sensitivity of Dark Matter-Nucleus Interactions to Nuclear Structure

02/12/2022, 15:00

Non-relativistic effective field theory (NREFT) is one approach used for describing the interaction of WIMPS with ordinary matter. Among other factors, these interactions are expected to be affected by the structure of the atomic nuclei in the target. The sensitivity of the nuclear response components of the WIMP-nucleus scattering amplitude is investigated using shell model calculations for...
