Searching for dark matter sterile neutrino in laboratory

If the dark matter of the Universe is made of sterile neutrinos with mass in the keV region, it can be searched for with the help of x-ray satellites. We discuss the prospects of laboratory experiments that can be competitive and complementary to space mis ...

Opening a new window for warm dark matter

We explore the range of parameters for dark-matter sterile neutrinos in an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet fermions with masses below the electroweak scale (the νMSM). This simple model can explain a wide range of phenomena, includ ...

Constraints on sterile neutrino as a dark matter candidate from the diffuse X-ray background

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

Sterile neutrinos with masses in the kilo-electronvolt range are viable candidates for the warm dark matter. We analyse existing data for the extragalactic diffuse X-ray background for signatures of sterile neutrino decay. The absence of a detectable signa ...

Global universe anisotropy probed by the alignment of structures in the cosmic microwave background

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

We question the global universe isotropy by probing the alignment of local structures in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The original method proposed relies on a steerable wavelet decomposition of the CMB signal on the sphere. The analysis ...

How to find a dark matter sterile neutrino?

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev

We propose a strategy for how to look for dark matter particles possessing a radiative decay channel and derive constraints on their parameters from observations of x rays from our own Galaxy and its dwarf satellites. When applied to sterile neutrinos in t ...

Primordial constraint on the spatial dependence of the Newton constant

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

A Nordtvedt effect at cosmological scales affects the acoustic oscillations imprinted in the cosmic microwave background. The gravitational baryonic mass density of the universe is inferred at the first peak scale from WMAP data. The independent determinat ...

Cosmic microwave background constraints on the strong equivalence principle

Pierre Vandergheynst, Yves Wiaux

We study the effect of a violation of the strong equivalence principle (SEP) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Such a violation would modify the weight of baryons in the primordial gravitational potentials and hence their impact in the establishmen ...

Upper Bound on Hot Dark-Matter Density from So(10) Yukawa Unification

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study low-energy consequences of supersymmetric SO(10) models with Yukawa unification h(t) = h(N) and h(b) = h(tau). We find that it is difficult to reproduce the observed m(b)/m(tau) ratio when the third-generation right-handed neutrino is at an interm ...

Sphalerons and baryogenesis

The author reviews recent studies of sphaleron-induced fermion-number violation at high temperatures and its relevance to the early Universe. ...
