Our current understanding of the large-scale structure of the Universe is based on the cold dark matter model.
Observed small-scale (sub-galactic) matter distribution, on the other hand, appears to challenge this standard paradigm.
Self-interaction between dark matter particles reconciles small-scale issues by flattening the dark matter density profile inside halos.
I will present a...

There is a long-standing discrepancy between the neutron lifetime measured in beam and bottle experiments. We propose to explain this anomaly by a dark decay channel for the neutron, involving one or more dark sector particles in the final state. If any of these particles are stable, they can be the dark matter. We construct representative particle physics models consistent with all...

The Belle II experiment is a next-generation upgrade of the Belle detector and will operate at SuperKEKB, an energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. The accelerator has completed the first phase of commissioning in 2016, and the first electron-positron collisions in Belle II are expected in 2018. The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is $8 \times 10^{35}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ and the Belle II...
