We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

It is commonly assumed that the energy density of the Universe was dominated by radiation
between reheating after inflation and the onset of matter domination 54,000 years later …

These lectures provide an introduction to models and direct detection of dark matter. We
summarize the general features and motivations for candidates in the full dark matter mass …

While astrophysical and cosmological probes provide a remarkably precise and consistent
picture of the quantity and general properties of dark matter, its fundamental nature remains …

We present the most comprehensive global fits to date of three supersymmetric models
motivated by grand unification: the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model …

In the context of Self-Interacting Dark Matter as a solution for the small-scale structure
problems, we consider the possibility that Dark Matter could have been produced without …

This article presents an extensive review of the status of the search of the dark matter. The
first eight sections are devoted to topics in dark matter and its experimental searches, and …

We analyze how dark matter (DM) can be produced in the early Universe, working in the
framework of a hidden sector charged under a U (1)′ gauge symmetry and interacting with …

We study the seven-dimensional Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM7) with
the new GAMBIT software framework, with all parameters defined at the weak scale. Our …

Dark matter with strong self-interactions provides a compelling solution to several small-
scale structure puzzles. Under the assumption that the coupling between dark matter and …
