| Title: | Sub-GeV Dark Matter, Neutrino Masses, and Astrophysical Signals from a Rich Dark Sector |
| Date (JST): | Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 15:30 - 17:00 |
| Place: | Seminar Room A |
| Abstract: |
Rich dark sectors provide an attractive framework for addressing several puzzles in particle physics and cosmology within a single model. In this talk, I will present a simple sub-GeV dark-sector realization featuring a dark matter candidate, a light scalar mediator, and an extended neutrino sector. I will show how the model can reproduce the observed relic abundance, generate light neutrino masses, and satisfy cosmological constraints. I will then discuss its phenomenological implications, focusing on neutrino signals that could be probed by current and future neutrino telescopes. |
