In recent years, direct detection, indirect and collider experiments have placed increasingly stringent constraints on particle dark matter, exploring much of the parameter space associated with WIMP paradigm. this paper, we focus subset models in which matter annihilates early universe through couplings to either Standard Model Z or Higgs boson. Considering fermionic, scalar, vector candidates within a model-independent context, find that overwhelming majority these are already ruled out by...

We consider the interplay of Early Dark Energy (EDE) model, Swampland Distance Conjecture (SDC), and cosmological parameter tensions. EDE is a proposed resolution Hubble tension relying upon near-Planckian scalar field excursion, while SDC predicts an exponential sensitivity masses other fields to such $m\propto e^{-c|\Delta \phi|/M_{\rm pl}}$ with $c\sim{\cal O}(1)$. Meanwhile, in large-scale structure (LSS) data, due shifts standard $\Lambda$CDM parameters necessary fit cosmic microwave...

Early dark energy (EDE), whose cosmological role is localized in time around the epoch of matter-radiation equality order to resolve Hubble tension, introduces a new coincidence problem: Why should EDE dynamics occur near if decoupled from both matter and radiation? The resolution this problem may lie an early sector (EDS), wherein mass dependent on scalar field. Concretely, we consider Planck-suppressed coupling matter, as would naturally arise breaking global $U(1)$ shift symmetry former...

Abstract Low-energy alternatives to General Relativity (GR) generically modify the phase of gravitational waves (GWs) during their propagation. As detector sensitivities increase, it becomes key understand how these modifications affect GW higher modes and disentangle possible degeneracies with astrophysical phenomena. We apply a general formalism — WKB approach for solving analytically wave propagation in spatial domain modified dispersion relation (MDR). compare this applying stationary...

The ${S}_{8}$ tension between low-redshift galaxy surveys and the primary cosmic microwave background (CMB) signals a possible breakdown of $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$ model. Recently differing results have been obtained using higher redshifts probed by CMB lensing, motivating time-dependent modification to growth structure.

During software evolution, new released versions still contain many bugs. One common scenario is that end users encounter regression faults and submit them to bug tracking systems. Different from in-house testing, typically only one test input available, which passes the old version fails modified version. To address issue, delta debugging has been proposed for failure-inducing changes identification between two versions. Despite promising results, there are practical factors thwart...
