Cosmological implications of the KOTO excess

no code implementations9 Jun 2020 Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Benjamin V. Lehmann, Stefano Profumo

We introduce a class of models to study this scenario with two light scalars playing the role of $X$, and we examine the possibility that the lighter of the two new states may also account for cosmological dark matter.

The Maximal-Density Mass Function for Primordial Black Hole Dark Matter

1 code implementation2 Jan 2018 Benjamin V. Lehmann, Stefano Profumo, Jackson Yant

Our framework elucidates the dependence of the maximum PBH density on the form of observational constraints, and we discuss the implications of current and future constraints for the viability of the PBH dark matter paradigm.
