A class of inflation models with non-minimal coupling
We show that the potential of the scalar field in the Einstein frame is flat
if the nonminimal coupling term is properly chosen that it satisfies the
condition (V(phi)/K^2(phi)-> constant) as phi gets large. The cosmological
implication of this theory is studied.Comment: Talk at the international Workshop on e-Science for Physics 2008

A testable scenario of WIMPZILLA with Dark Radiation
As the electromagnetic gauge symmetry makes the electron stable, a new
abelian gauge symmetry may be responsible for the stability of superheavy dark
matter. The gauge boson associated with the new gauge symmetry naturally plays
the role of dark radiation and contributes to the effective number of `neutrino
species', which has been recently measured by Planck. We estimate the
contribution of dark radiation from the radiative decay of a scalar particle
induced by the WIMPZILLA in the loop. The scalar particle may affect the
invisible decay of the Higgs boson by the Higgs portal type coupling.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Dark Matter and Collider Physics in Split-UED
Kaluza-Klein dark matter is an attractive weakly interacting massive particle
in universal extra dimension model. In the recent extension "split-UED",
annihilation of Kaluza-Klein dark matter with a mass range 600-1000 GeV
provides excellent fits to the recently observed excesses in cosmic electron
and positron fluxes of Pamela, ATIC and Fermi-LAT experiments. The cosmic
gamma-ray flux in the same process can be significant around 300 GeV, thus can
be observed or constrained by the forthcoming Fermi-LAT diffuse gamma-ray data.
The collider signal at the LHC is the resonance in the dijets channels and the
large missing energy in the missing energy plus jets.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figures, Talks given at 17th International Conference on

Split-UED and Dark Matter
Motivated by the recent observation of the high energy electron and positron
excesses in cosmic ray by PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS, we suggest an anomaly-free
scenario for the universal extra dimension that localizes the SM quarks and
splits the spectrum of KK quarks from KK leptons. When the SM quarks are "well
localized" at the boundaries, the most stringent bound of the model ( GeV) comes from the resonance search for the Tevatron dijet channels. Even
at the early stage of LHC, one can discover the second KK gluon for masses up
to 4 TeV.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
