    In this talk, we discuss leptogenesis occurring at the time of the first order phase transition of U(1)_B-L breaking, dubbed as bubble assisted leptogenesis, in which the strong wash-out can be circumvented due to an efficient departure from equilibrium offered by the relativistic expansion of true phase bubbles. Taking carefully into account all the efficiency factors such as penetration...

    Models incorporating moderately heavy dark matter (DM) typically need charged (scalar) fields to establish admissible relic densities. Since the DM freezes out at an early epoch, thermal corrections to the cross sections can be important. Here, we study the IR behaviour at finite temperatures, of dark matter annihilation cross sections, which potentially contains both both linear and...

    We have explored the parameter space for the phenomenological minimal supersymmetric standard model (PMSSM) with specific focus on the region with a light neutralino dark matter (with mass less than half the mass of the Higgs), which is consistent with current collider and astrophysical constraints. We show that the latest results from the LHC searches for sparticles and direct detection...

    We study the phenomenological signatures associated with a light fermiophobic Higgs boson within the type-I two-Higgs-doublet model at the HL-LHC. Our exhaustive parameter scan revealed a captivating mass range between 1 GeV and 10 GeV. This range retains a substantial number of viable parameter points, primarily due to the current experimental difficulties in probing soft decay products of...

    The early Universe represents a unique laboratory for frontier physics, providing extreme conditions and amazing chances to test theoretical models. A large class of cosmological phenomena may allow us to probe particle physics at energy scales much beyond the reach of current and future colliders.

    Light dark matter (DM) is getting increasingly more important in our quest to probe the dark sector physics. Direct detection of a sub-GeV scale dark matter is difficult as it lacks sufficient kinematic heft to have significant nuclear or electron recoil. In this regard, a boosted dark matter plays an interesting role. Before attempting to detect a boosted dark matter, we explore a possible...

    We study the two-component boosted dark matter (DM) scenario in a neutrinophilic two-Higgs doublet model (ν2HDM), which comprises one extra Higgs doublet with a MeV scale CP-even scalar H. This model is extended with a light (∼ 10 MeV) singlet scalar DM ϕ3, which is stabilized under the existing Z2 symmetry and can only effectively annihilate through scalar H. As the presence of a light H...

    In this work, Left-Right Symmetric (LRSM) has been realized with the modular group of level 3, that is, $\Gamma(3)$ and weight 2, which is isomorphic to non-abelian discrete symmetry group $A_4$. It is a well-known fact that there are physics beyond the Standard Model framework, where several phenomenological studies can be carried out. In our present work, we are concerned about the study of...

    Cosmological observations offer valuable methods for probing various characteristics of Dark Matter (DM). We examine the cosmological implications of higher-dimensional Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators for Dark Matter(DM) - electron interactions. We focus on velocity-independent operators and simultaneously incorporate DM-electron scattering and DM annihilation into...

    We will explore the extensions of the Standard Model (SM) incorporating a new $U(1)$ gauge symmetry. These extensions introduce modifications to the SM's gauge anomaly conditions, which in turn impose restrictions on the charges of fermions. While well-studied solutions, such as $B-L$ and linear combinations of $B-L$ and hypercharge, offer straightforward anomaly cancellations, the exploration...

    In this study, we examine the phenomenon of photon axion conversion occurring in the spacetime surrounding a black hole. Observations of the black hole in the center of the M87 galaxy (M87 * ) through the Event Horizon Telescope imaged polarized synchrotron emission at 230 GHz on event horizon scales. Specifically, we focus on the potential existence of a magnetic field around the supermassive...

    The $\mathcal{Z}_N \times \mathcal{Z}_M$ symmetry is a novel flavour symmetry, that can provide an explanation to the flavour structure of the Standard Model through the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. We have investigated the flavour bounds on the minimal $\mathcal{Z}_2 \times \mathcal{Z}_5$, and a non-minimal $\mathcal{Z}_2 \times \mathcal{Z}_9$ version of this symmetry using the current quark...

    We investigate the renormalization group scale and scheme dependence of the $H \rightarrow gg$ decay rate at the order N$^4$LO in renormalization-group summed perturbative theory, which employs the summation of all renormalization-group accessible logarithms including the leading and subsequent four sub-leading logarithmic contributions to the full perturbative series expansion. The...
