Utvikling av stabilisert plattform for hydroakustiske transducere

Ankit Beniwal, University of Adelaide

In this talk, I will present our study of the scalar singlet model. In particular, I will discuss the potential probes for electroweak baryogenesis in this model via collider searches, gravitational wave and direct dark matter detection signals. I will show that a large portion of the model parameter space exists where the observation of gravitational waves would allow detection while the indirect collider searches would not. This will motivate my ongoing study of the extended scalar singlet model with a fermionic dark matter candidate.

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which are among the best motivated dark matter (DM) candidates, could make up all or only a fraction of the total DM budget. We consider a scenario in which WIMPs are a subdominant DM component; such a scenario would affect both current direct and indirect bounds on the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section. In this paper we focus on indirect searches for the neutrino flux produced by annihilation of subdominant WIMPs captured by the Sun or the Earth via either spin-dependent or spin-independent scattering. We derive the annihilation rate and the expected neutrino flux at neutrino observatories. In our computation, we include an updated chemical composition of the Earth with respect to the previous literature, leading to an increase of the Earth’s capture rate for spin-dependent scattering by a factor of 3. Results are compared with current bounds from Super-Kamiokande and IceCube. We discuss the scaling of bounds from both direct and indirect detection methods with the WIMP abundance.
