Cosmology & Astroparticle Physics
I will discuss the implication for dark matter (DM) indirect searches of the recent precise measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) antiprotons from AMS-02 .
With respect to previous works we use a new updated CR propagation model
consistent with the AMS-02 data.
Furthermore, we fit at the same time, in a self-consistent way,
both DM and the propagation parameters.
We find a significant...

Cosmology & Astroparticle Physics
It has been long discussed that cosmic rays may contain signals of dark matter. In the last couple of years an anomaly of cosmic-ray positrons has drawn a lot of attentions, and recently an excess in cosmic-ray anti-proton has been reported by AMS-02 collaboration. Both excesses may indicate towards decaying or annihilating dark matter with a mass of around 1–10 TeV. In this article we study...

Cosmology & Astroparticle Physics
Dark Matter (DM) is a crucial component of the universe and, for calculations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), is successfully modelled as a pressureless perfect fluid within General Relativity (GR).
With data from Planck it becomes possible to test generalisations of this model, searching for DM properties beyond the pressureless perfect fluid and thereby testing the CDM paradigm...

Cosmology & Astroparticle Physics
We consider different types of single field inflationary models such as Higgs inflation-types and the attractors models. We discuss their unitarity and renormalizability properties. Once quantum corrections are considered, new physics is demanded. As a matter of fact, to consistently connect the low and high energy regimes of the effective field theories (described in terms of Standard model...
