    I have proposed a simple model with (light) dark matters (DMs)
    that interact with leptons via Yukawa couplings, with S. Okawa and S. Iguro.
    The DMs can evade strong bounds from the DM direct detection experiments
    and predict some specific signals at the LHC. In this talk, I review the work shortly, and
    introduce a model with $SU(3)\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L} $ gauge...

    We present results for higher order thermal corrections to both dark matter annihilation into fermion pairs, as well as annihilation along with photon absorption/emission. We show explicitly cancellation of soft and collinear divergences in the thermal theory and calculate the finite remainder. The corrections depend significantly on whether the dark matter particle is assumed to be Majorana...

    Photons can mix with low-mass bosons in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. A known example is the hypothetical axion (spin 0) which can couple with the photon by a two-photon vertex. Other axion-like particles (ALP) have been proposed in many Beyond Standard Model (BSM) theories. In this talk we give a brief overview of the physics of axion and discuss the possibility of...

    In recent years, very weak interactions on the MeV scale, in particular the case of U(1) Lmu-Ltau, have attracted significant attention in the context of muon g-2, dark matter-mediated forces and others. This presentation will focus on how the extension of this U(1) symmetry to five dimensions can be explored in future new physics search experiments, concretely, the DUNE experiment and future...

    I will present a variant of the 3HDM, referred to as the BGL-3HDM, incorporating a horizontal U(1)​×U(1)​ symmetry, which can distinguish the primary sources of mass for different fermion generations. In the version considered here, the Yukawa matrices in the down-quark and charged lepton sectors are diagonal, thereby eliminating tree-level FCNCs in these sectors. FCNC interactions mediated by...

    In the theory with a Majorana fermion coupled to quarks via a dimension-six four-fermion vector-vector interaction, we show that the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe can be generated in the decay and scattering processes in the expanding early Universe. In viable parts of parameter space we discuss the observability of neutrino-antineutron oscillation in upcoming experiments.

    In this talk I shall elucidate how early universe cosmology, together with gravity, can provide a window in exploring physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Typically, I will focus on two long-standing puzzles of particle-cosmology, namely, dark matter and matter-antimatter asymmetry.

    ​Flavor experiments commissioned to provide precise measurements of the Standard Model (SM) parameters are excellent laboratories to look for hypothesised particles, especially those with masses less than a GeV. In this talk, I discuss some experiments related to semi-leptonic charged current amplitudes, which can be veritable smoking guns for axion-like particles (ALPs). I show that the...

    The knowledge of the Higgs potential is crucial for understanding the origin of mass and the thermal history of our Universe. We show how collider measurements and observations of stochastic gravitational wave signals can complement each other to explore the multiform scalar potential in the two Higgs doublet model. In our investigation, we analyze critical elements of the Higgs potential to...

    In an effective field theory approach, we have considered a minimal extension of Standard Model is extended by a non-renormalizable dimension six operator of the form respecting the symmetries of the Standard Model. Such an operator can affect the dynamics of Higgs field and the electroweak phase transition. Presence of such term modifies the triple Higgs coupling. Constraint on the scale...

    The singlet-doublet vector-like fermion dark matter model has been extensively studied in the literature over the past decade. An important parameter in this model is the singlet-doublet mixing angle ($\sin\theta$). All the previous studies have primarily focused on annihilation and co-annihilation processes for obtaining the correct dark matter relic density, assuming that the singlet and...

    We study the most minimal scalar extension that offers a tree-level violation of the custodial symmetry, while containing a dark matter (DM) candidate. A hypercharge-less scalar triplet that obtains a small vev breaks the custodial symmetry, which translates to the charged component $T^\pm \to Z W^\pm$ decay. Adding an inert singlet to this extension as a stable DM also opens up the fully...

    b-tagged jets and an isolated photon. We focus on distinguishing signal events from
    background using kinematic features and spatial...

    The idea of cosmic inflation stands on the firm ground of observations from Big Bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background. However, a missing piece remains—reheating—which connects inflation to the radiation-dominated universe, a crucial stage for the nucleosynthesis process. A key observable of the reheating stage is stochastic gravitational waves, generated by the decay of the...

    Neutrino oscillation measurements via long-baseline experiments rely on the accurate measurement of neutrino interactions with the nucleus and subsequent reconstruction of the neutrino energy.

    The magnitudes of the couplings of the scalar resonance at 125 GeV with the SM particles are found to be consistent with those of the SM Higgs boson. However, the signs are not experimentally determined in most of the cases, a prime example being that with the $Z$-boson pair. In other words, $\kappa_Z^h$, the ratio of the couplings of the actual 125 GeV resonance with $ZZ$ and that of the SM...

    Quantum coherence plays a crucial role in the dynamics of neutral meson systems, aiding in the extraction of various Standard Model parameters. However, real physical systems inevitably interact with their environments, leading to decoherence effects. In the case of neutral B mesons, this decoherence is modeled using a single parameter, $\lambda$. It is important to reassess the Standard Model...

    The small mass of neutrinos enables the possibility of rapid neutrino decay in
    beyond Standard Model scenarios. If the final state involves an active neutrino,
    it is called a visible decay, whereas decay into a lighter sterile state is known
    as invisible decay. This study explores the effects of the invisible decay of the
    $\nu_3$ state into a sterile neutrino and a Majoron, within the...

    We study two novel aspects of democratic 3HDMs -- the custodial limit and the possibility of wrong-sign Yukawa couplings. In the custodial limit, the democratic 3HDMs can easily negotiate the constraints from the electroweak T-parameter. We also uncover the possibility of having wrong-sign Yukawa couplings in democratic 3HDMs, as in the case of 2HDMs. We show that a democratic 3HDM encompasses...

    Sterile neutrinos, hypothetical singlet fermions, interact with ordinary matter only through mixing with active neutrinos. In core-collapse supernovae, their production via Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) resonances of electron neutrinos and antineutrinos can influence explosion dynamics and nucleosynthesis. We probe the effect of these kinds of MSW conversions on the fast flavor...
