Reheating and dark matter through dark glueballs

Helena Kolešová

University of Stavanger

Abstract:

The nature and origin of the dark matter in our Universe stays unknown, similarly as the mechanism of production of Standard Model particles following the putative period of cosmological inflation. In this talk I will present a scenario where both dark matter and reheating of the visible particles are provided by a pure Yang-Mills dark sector, for which dark glueballs are the low-energy degrees of freedom. We study the constraints related to dark matter stability and minimal reheating temperature of the Standard Model and conclude that this scenario is very predictive. This talk is based on collaboration with Simona Procacci and Simone Biondini https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.10345 .
