The coannihilation mechanism plays a crucial role in determining the DM relic abundance in a plethora of new physics models. Recently, a general classification of simplified models for this mechanism has been presented in the Coannihilation codex. In particular, the thermal relic abundance of a pure Standard Model singlet DM candidate can naturally be explained by coannihilation with a new...

Combining Pati-Salam (PS) and flavour symmetries in a renormalisable setup,
we devise a scenario which produces realistic masses for the charged
leptons. Flavour-symmetry breaking scalar fields in the adjoint
representations of the PS gauge group are responsible for generating different
flavour structures for up- and down-type quarks as well as for leptons.
The model is characterised by...

Relaxion models are an interesting new avenue to explain the radiative stability of the Standard Model scalar sector. They require very large field excursions, which are difficult to generate in a consistent UV completion and to reconcile with the compact field space of the relaxion. We propose an N-site model which naturally generates the large decay constant needed to address these issues....
