Subatomic Particles03:37

Subatomic Particles

Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.
Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem01:12

Reduced Mass Coordinates: Isolated Two-body Problem

In classical mechanics, the two-body problem is one of the fundamental problems describing the motion of two interacting bodies under gravity or any other central force. When considering the motion of two bodies, one of the most important concepts is the reduced mass coordinates, a quantity that allows the two-body problem to be solved like a single-body problem. In these circumstances, it is assumed that a single body with reduced mass revolves around another body fixed in a position with an...
Detection of Black Holes01:10

Detection of Black Holes

Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
Gravitation Between Spherically Symmetric Masses01:14

Gravitation Between Spherically Symmetric Masses

The gravitational potential energy between two spherically symmetric bodies can be calculated from the masses and the distance between the bodies, assuming that the center of mass is concentrated at the respective centers of the bodies.
Van der Waals Interactions01:24

Van der Waals Interactions

Atoms and molecules interact with each other through intermolecular forces. These electrostatic forces arise from attractive or repulsive interactions between particles with permanent, partial, or temporary charges. The intermolecular forces between neutral atoms and molecules are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, and dispersion forces, collectively known as van der Waals forces.Polar molecules have a partial positive charge on one end and a partial negative charge on the other end of the molecule,...
The de Broglie Wavelength02:32

The de Broglie Wavelength

In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

Background:

  • The standard model of particle physics does not account for dark matter.
  • Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are a leading, yet unconfirmed, dark matter candidate.
  • Existing dark matter models face challenges in explaining observed properties and detection signatures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new class of dark matter candidates.
  • To explore their origin within gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking.
  • To investigate their phenomenological implications for detection and cosmology.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical modeling of particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
  • Analysis of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking scenarios.
  • Comparison of predicted signals with experimental constraints and future search strategies.

Main Results:

  • Identified dark matter candidates with natural thermal relic density.
  • These candidates possess masses from 10 MeV to 10 TeV and variable interaction strengths.
  • Proposed particles exhibit enhanced direct and indirect detection signals compared to WIMPs.

Conclusions:

  • Gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking provides an elegant solution to the dark matter problem.
  • These novel candidates offer new avenues for dark matter detection and collider physics.
  • The framework accommodates diverse dark matter scenarios, including multi-component dark matter.
