12. Higgs as inflaton

Seong Chan Park

17/12/2019 09:00

I will discuss the recent update about the Higgs inflation where the Higgs field is regarded as the inflaton field. The unitarity issue, (p)re-heating issue and the potential production of primordial black hole will be discussed.

9. Annihilation Signatures of Neutron Dark Decay

We point out that two models that reconcile the neutron lifetime anomaly via dark decays of the neutron, also predict dark matter-neutron ($\bar{\chi}-n$) annihilation that may be observable in neutron-antineutron oscillation and proton decay searches at Super-Kamiokande, Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE. We study signatures of $\bar{\chi}n\to \gamma\pi^0$~(or multi-$\pi^0$) and $\bar{\chi}n\to...

3. Spin-3/2 Dark Matter in simple s or t channel models

Alan Cornell (Johannesburg University)

We consider possible spin-3/2 dark matter (DM) particles which can either interact with the Standard Model (SM) fermions through a vector mediator in the s-channel, or with SM quarks through the exchange of a charged and coloured scalar or vector mediator in a simple t-channel model. Constraints on the parameter spaces of these models are investigated, drawing from the observed relic...
