Scope Of Self-Interacting Thermal Wimps In A Minimal U(1) D Extension And Its Future Prospects, Rahool Kumar Barman, Biplob Bhattacherjee, Arindam Chatterjee, Arghya Choudhury, Aritra Gupta

In this work we have considered a minimal extension of Standard Model by a local U(1) gauge group in order to accommodate a stable (fermionic) Dark Matter (DM) candidate. We have focussed on parameter regions where DM possesses adequate self-interaction, owing to the presence of a light scalar mediator (the dark Higgs), alleviating some of the tensions in the small-scale structures. We have studied the scenario in the light of a variety of data, mostly from dark matter direct searches, collider searches and flavor physics experiments, with an attempt to constrain the interactions of the standard model (SM) particles with …

Quasinormal Mode Spectra For Odd Parity Perturbations In Spacetimes With Smeared Matter Sources, Kumar Das, Souvik Pramanik, Subir Ghosh

Journal Articles

We have found the quasinormal mode (QNM) frequencies of a class of static spherically symmetric spacetimes having a smeared matter distribution, parametrized by Θ, an inherent length scale. Here, our main focus is on the QNMs for the odd parity perturbation in this background geometry. The results presented here for diffused mass distribution reveal significant changes in the QNM spectrum. This could be relevant for future generation (cosmological) observations, specifically to distinguish the signals of gravitational waves from a nonsingular source in contrast to a singular geometry. We also provide numerical estimates for the Θ-corrected QNM spectrum applicable to typical …
