Integrated modelling of Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating in toroidal system

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Stephan Brunner, Martin Jucker, Nicolas Mellet

An integrated model capable of self-consistent Ion Cyclotron Resonant Heating (ICRH) simulations has been developed. This model includes both full shaping and pressure effects, warm contributions to the dielectric tensor, pressure anisotropy and finite orb ...

Dark goo: bulk viscosity as an alternative to dark energy

Julien Lesgourgues, Jean-Sébastien Gagnon

We present a simple (microscopic) model in which bulk viscosity plays a role in explaining the present acceleration of the universe. The effect of bulk viscosity on the Friedmann equations is to turn the pressure into an "effective" pressure containing the ...

Initial state radiation in Majorana Dark Matter annihilations

Andrea De Simone

The cross section for a Majorana Dark Matter particle annihilating into light fermions is helicity suppressed. We show that, if the Dark Matter is the neutral Majorana component of a multiplet which is charged under the electroweak interactions of the Stan ...

Higgs-dilaton cosmology: From the early to the late Universe

Javier Rubio

We consider a minimal scale-invariant extension of the standard model of particle physics combined with unimodular gravity formulated in [M. Shaposhnikov and D. Zenhausern, Phys. Lett. B 671, 187 (2009).]. This theory is able to describe not only an inflat ...

Universal Properties of Dark Matter Halos

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Igor Tkachev

We discuss the universal relation between density and size of observed dark matter halos that was recently shown to hold on a wide range of scales, from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters. Predictions of cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) N-body simulations are ...

Cosmology versus standard model

I will discuss a proposal for a unified solution of the problems of neutrino masses, dark matter, baryon asymmetry of the Universe and inflation, which does not require introduction of any new energy scale besides already known, namely the electroweak and ...

Cosmic Evolution Of Virial And Stellar Mass In Massive Early-Type Galaxies

We measure the average mass properties of a sample of 41 strong gravitational lenses at moderate redshift (z similar to 0.4-0.9) and present the lens redshift for six of these galaxies for the first time. Using the techniques of strong and weak gravitation ...

Searching for dark matter in X-rays: how to check the dark matter origin of a spectral feature

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

A signal from decaying dark matter (DM) can be unambiguously distinguished from spectral features of astrophysical or instrumental origin by studying its spatial distribution. We demonstrate this approach by examining the recent claim of Loewenstein and Ku ...

Dark energy with non-adiabatic sound speed: initial conditions and detectability

Julien Lesgourgues

Assuming that the universe contains a dark energy fluid with a constant linear equation of state and a constant sound speed, we study the prospects of detecting dark energy perturbations using CMB data from Planck, cross-correlated with galaxy distribution ...

Dwarf Galaxies and Galaxy Halos

Martin Tafelmeyer

The various projects presented in this thesis contribute to the expansion of our knowledge and understanding of the fundamental processes involved in the formation of a galaxy and its stellar populations. For this purpose, two different techniques are appl ...
