The original sterile neutrino explanation to short baseline anomalies is in strong tension with cosmological observations, because of the copious thermalisation of an extra degrees of freedom. However, we show that this will no longer be an issue in the context of the mass-varying sterile neutrino, for which the sterile neutrino production can be greatly suppressed by the time-varying...
According to a wide range of astrophysical observations, about one-fourth of all the energy of the universe is due to "dark matter", a non-relativistic and non-luminous kind of matter, different from ordinary “baryonic" matter. While its present abundance is constrained, its mass and the way it interacts with baryonic matter and with itself is still unknown. A confirmed direct detection in a...
We suggest a new class of models – Fermionic Portal Vector Dark Matter (FPVDM) which extends the Standard Model (SM) with $SU(2)_D$ dark gauge sector. While FPVDM does not require kinetic mixing and Higgs portal. It is based on the Vector-Like (VL) fermionic doublet which couples the dark sector with the SM sector through the Yukawa interaction. The FPVDM model provides a vector Dark...
