A bstract The measured branching fractions of B -mesons into leptonic final states derived by the LHCb, Belle and BaBar collaborations hint towards breakdown lepton flavour universality.

We consider a multi-component dark matter model where the sector contains scalar doublet and complex singlet. impose discrete $Z_4$ symmetry to ensure such that lightest component of doublet, $\tilde{A}$, singlet, $\tilde{S}$, are both stable. Interactions between sectors impact significantly observables, they allow in particular relax direct detection constraints on model. To determine parameter space satisfies relic density, theoretical collider as well indirect limits, we perform two...

A bstract We investigate, for the first time, a scenario where dark matter consists of three complex scalar fields that are stabilized by single Z 7 symmetry. As an extension well-known Higgs-portal, this model is also subject to important restrictions arising from relic density constraint and direct detection experiments. Our goal in paper find characterize viable regions model, analyze its prospects future First, processes affect densities identified (they include semiannihilations...

A bstract We consider a simple extension of the standard model with fermionic dark matter (DM) and Z ′ gauge boson acting as mediator. also assume scenario where cosmic reheating occurs at low temperatures due to decay massive inflaton into states. To follow evolution background sector states, we implement required Boltzmann equations in code micrOMEGAs explore both freeze-out freeze-in mechanisms. determine parameter space that satisfies relic density constraint under different assumptions...

A bstract Scenarios for multi-component scalar dark matter based on a single Z N ( ≥ 4) symmetry are simple and well-motivated. In this paper we investigate, the first time, phenomenology of 5 model two-component matter. This model, which can be seen as an extension well-known singlet features two complex fields — particles that Standard Model singlets but have different charges under symmetry. The interactions allowed by give rise to novel processes between affect their relic densities...

In scenarios with very small dark matter (DM) couplings and mass splittings between the DM other sector particles, so-called "co-scattering" or "conversion-driven freeze-out" can be dominant mechanism for production. We present inclusion of this in micrOMEGAs together a case study phenomenological implications fermionic singlet-triplet model. For latter, we focus on transition co-annihilation co-scattering processes. observe that is needed to describe thermal behaviour couplings, opening up...

We present a thorough analysis of the sequential freeze-in mechanism for dark matter production in early universe. In this relic density results from pair annihilation mediator particles which are themselves produced by thermal collisions standard model particles. Below some critical value coupling to fields, channel dominates over usual where is directly collisions, even when not equilibrium. The latter case requires computing full non-thermal distribution mediators, finite temperature...

We consider multicomponent dark matter in a model where one component is feebly interacting (FIMP) while the second weakly (WIMP). The contains an inert scalar doublet and complex singlet features discrete ${Z}_{4}$ symmetry. Using new of micromegas that allow us to compute relic density for including WIMPs FIMPs, we determine parameter space satisfies theoretical constraints, collider as well direct indirect detection limits. discuss possibility probe through astrophysical searches. find it...

The search for a Dark Matter particle is the new grail and hard-sought nirvana of physics community. From theoretical side, it main challenge to provide consistent model-independent tool comparing bounds reach diverse experiments. We propose first complete classification minimal models, which provides missing link between experiments top-down models. Consistency achieved by imposing renormalisability invariance under full Standard Model symmetries. apply this paradigm fermionic multiplets...
