Particle Phenomenology
In my talk I will discuss the dependence of the dark matter production mechanism in the early universe on its coupling to the Standard Model and mediator. For illustration, I will focus on the case of compressed mass spectrum dark matter scenario and show that we can continuously go from freeze-in to freeze-out with an intermediate stage of conversion driven freeze-out. In the latter case,...

I will discuss the cosmology and LHC phenomenology of a consistent strongly interacting dark sector coupled to Standard Model particles through a generic vector mediator. I will lay out the requirements for the model to be cosmologically viable, consider the dominant freeze-out processes and discuss bounds from direct detection. At the LHC the model predicts dark showers, which can give rise...

We are studying the effects of light New Physics that can materialise in deviations from the Coulomb potential on the length scale of molecules. Precision molecular spectroscopy thus sets complementary constraints on parameters that are not accessible in other type of experiments. We compare an estimate of the theoretical uncertainties to the available experimental precision in order to...

We review recent progress in the calculation of the MSSM Higgs boson masses for low $M_A$ and $\tan\beta$ using the THDM as low-energy EFT. As an application of this calculation, we present two new Higgs benchmark scenarios valid in the region of low $\tan\beta$. While all SUSY masses are chosen relatively heavy in the first scenario, the second scenario features light neutralinos and...
