4. The Coannihilation Codex

Dr Felix Yu

We present a general classification of simplified models that lead to dark matter (DM) coannihilation processes of the form DM + X $\rightarrow$ SM$_1$ + SM$_2$, where X is a coannihilation partner for the DM particle and SM$_1$, SM$_2$ are Standard Model fields. Our classification also encompasses regular DM pair annihilation scenarios if DM and X are identical. Each coannhilation scenario...

7. Searching for new physics with Voronoi tessellations

Dr Doojin Kim

High energy experimental data can be viewed as a sampling of the relevant phase space. We point out that one can apply Voronoi tessellations in order to understand the underlying probability distributions governing the relevant phenomena. Characteristic features embedded in the data can then be discovered by studying the properties of Voronoi cells. We particularly focus on detecting...
