We derive new limits on the elastic scattering cross section between baryons and dark matter using cosmic microwave background data from Planck satellite measurements of Lyman-alpha forest flux power spectrum Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our analysis addresses generic sections form $\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\propto}{v}^{n}$, where $v$ is matter--baryon relative velocity, allowing for constraints independent specific particle physics models. include high-$\ensuremath{\ell}$ polarization in...

The precise measurement of cosmic-ray antinuclei serves as an important means for identifying the nature dark matter and other new astrophysical phenomena, could be used with species to understand production propagation in Galaxy. For instance, low-energy antideuterons would provide a "smoking gun" signature annihilation or decay, essentially free background. Studies recent years have emphasized that models must considered together abundant cosmic antiprotons any potential observation...

Many scenarios of physics beyond the standard model predict new light, weakly coupled degrees freedom, populated in early universe and remaining as cosmic relics today. Due to their high abundances, these can significantly affect evolution universe. For instance, massless produce a shift $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$ expectation effective number active neutrinos. Massive relics, on other hand, additionally become part cosmological dark matter later universe, though light nature allows them freely...

Cosmological data provide a powerful tool in the search for physics beyond Standard Model (SM). An interesting target are light relics, new degrees of freedom which decoupled from SM while relativistic. Nearly massless relics contribute to radiation energy budget, and commonly parametrized as variations effective number ${N}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ neutrino species. Additionally, with masses greater than ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$ become nonrelativistic before today, thus...

A bstract The chromo-natural inflation (CNI) scenario predicts a potentially detectable chiral gravitational wave signal, generated by Chern-Simons coupling between rolling scalar axion field and an SU(2) gauge with isotropy-preserving classical background during inflation. However, the generation of this signal requires very large integer level, which can be challenging to explain or embed in UV-complete model. We show that challenge persists phenomenologically viable spectator CNI (S-CNI)...

Low energy antideuteron detection presents a unique channel for indirect detection, targeting dark matter that annihilates into hadrons in relatively background-free way. Since the idea was first proposed, many WIMP-type models have already been disfavored by direct experiments, and current constraints indicate any thermal relic candidates likely annihilate through some hidden sector process. In this paper, we show cosmic ray experiments represent one of best ways to search matter,...
