    In this review, we focus on dark matter production from thermal freeze-out with forbidden channels and SIMP processes. We show that forbidden channels can be dominant to produce dark matter depending on the dark photon and / or dark Higgs mass compared to SIMP.Comment: 5 pages, Prepared for the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Gravitation, 3-7 July 201

    On thermal production of self-interacting dark matter

    Full text link
    We consider thermal production mechanisms of self-interacting dark matter in models with gauged Z3Z_3 symmetry. A complex scalar dark matter is stabilized by the Z3Z_3, that is the remnant of a local dark U(1)dU(1)_d. Light dark matter with large self-interaction can be produced from thermal freeze-out in the presence of SM-annihilation, SIMP and/or forbidden channels. We show that dark photon and/or dark Higgs should be relatively light for unitarity and then assist the thermal freeze-out. We identify the constraints on the parameter space of dark matter self-interaction and mass in cases that one or some of the channels are important in determining the relic density.Comment: 26 pages, 11 figures, Version to appear in Journal of High Energy Physic

    Currently, we are living in an age in which the development of IT technology creates value by utilizing Internet and mobile platform. In the past, the consumers had an one-way consumption pattern which purchases after acquiring information via advertisement. And then, as the Internet improves, they have shown the aspect of consuming more actively, by searching and applying a variety of information acquired from Internet. While until then, online and offline belonged to the different area which delivers each different value, however presently, with vitalizing ICT and mobile environment, the boundary has begun to blurred. Accordingly, and a form of Omni Channel service where the physical place and Internet, mobile, the respective platform organically assimilate with each other has been established. Therefore, currently a number of distribution enterprises are providing various mobile-based O2O(Online to Offline) service as one strategy in order to support Omni Channel. In this case, currently a lot of enterprises have faced a problem of how to plan and design channels that support the users in each stage of decision making process for purchase and provide potential consumers with a consistent brand experience. Thus, the study would examine Omni Channel, which is a novel consuming trend, prior to solving the problem, and aims to draw the decision making process for purchase in Omni Channel service environment. On top of that, it would formalize Channel shift types of consumers and figure out their characteristics through customer journey map. Based on them, it aims to examine the characteristics of Omni Channel service by analyzing the cases of Omni Channel service in general. The study is meaningful as a preceding research in that it draws the Omni Channel service design strategy to maximize mobile users' experience in the future

    Unitary inflaton as decaying dark matter

    Full text link
    We consider the inflation model of a singlet scalar field (sigma field) with both quadratic and linear non-minimal couplings where unitarity is ensured up to the Planck scale. We assume that a Z2Z_2 symmetry for the sigma field is respected by the scalar potential in Jordan frame but it is broken explicitly by the linear non-minimal coupling due to quantum gravity. We discuss the impacts of the linear non-minimal coupling on various dynamics from inflation to low energy, such as a sizable tensor-to-scalar ratio, a novel reheating process with quartic potential dominance, and suppressed physical parameters in the low energy, etc. In particular, the linear non-minimal coupling leads to the linear couplings of the sigma field to the Standard Model through the trace of the energy-momentum tensor in Einstein frame. Thus, regarding the sigma field as a decaying dark matter, we consider the non-thermal production mechanisms for dark matter from the decays of Higgs and inflaton condensate and show the parameter space that is compatible with the correct relic density and cosmological constraints.Comment: 36 pages, 7 figures, v2: minor corrections made and references added, v3: discussion on preheating added, accepted for Journal of High Energy Physics, v4: Lyman-alpha bound included and inflationary predictions refined for perturbative reheatin

    A minimal flavored U(1)′U(1)' for BB-meson anomalies

    Full text link
    We consider an anomaly-free U(1)′U(1)' model with favorable couplings to heavy flavors in the Standard Model(SM), as motivated by BB-meson anomalies at LHCb. Taking the U(1)′U(1)' charge to be Q′=y(Lμ−Lτ)+x(B3−L3)Q'=y(L_\mu-L_\tau)+ x(B_3-L_3), we can explain the BB-meson anomalies without invoking extra charged fermions or flavor violation beyond the SM. We show that there is a viable parameter space with a small xx that is compatible with other meson decays, tau lepton and neutrino experiments as well as the LHC dimuon searches. We briefly discuss the prospects of discovering the Z′Z' gauge boson at the LHC in the proposed model.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, v2: references and discussion on electroweak precision test added, v3: Version to appear in Physical Review

    A Design of MAC Model Based on the Separation of Duties and Data Coloring: DSDC-MAC

    Among the access control methods for database security, there is Mandatory Access Control (MAC) model in which the security level is set to both the subject and the object to enhance the security control. Legacy MAC models have focused only on one thing, either confidentiality or integrity. Thus, it can cause collisions between security policies in supporting confidentiality and integrity simultaneously. In addition, they do not provide a granular security class policy of subjects and objects in terms of subjects\u27 roles or tasks. In this paper, we present the security policy of Bell_LaPadula Model (BLP) model and Biba model as one complemented policy. In addition, Duties Separation and Data Coloring (DSDC)-MAC model applying new data coloring security method is proposed to enable granular access control from the viewpoint of Segregation of Duty (SoD). The case study demonstrated that the proposed modeling work maintains the practicality through the design of Human Resources management System. The proposed model in this study is suitable for organizations like military forces or intelligence agencies where confidential information should be carefully handled. Furthermore, this model is expected to protect systems against malicious insiders and improve the confidentiality and integrity of data
