WIMPs and New Physics Interpretations of the PTA Signal are Incompatible
Auditorium Vivargent (LAPTh)Speakers: Yann Gouttenoire (Tel Aviv University) Abstract: In order to explain the large amplitude of the nano-Hertz stochastic gravitational wave background observed in pulsar timing arrays (PTA), primordial sources must be particularly energetic. This is correlated to the generation of large density fluctuations, later collapsing into ultra-compact mini-halo (UCMHs). We demonstrate that if dark matter […]
