Cosmology and Dark Matter
by V. A. Rubakov
Publisher: arXiv 2019
Number of pages: 76
Description:
Theoretical hypotheses on the nature of the dark matter particles are numerous, so we concentrate on several well motivated candidates, such as WIMPs, axions and sterile neutrinos, and also give examples of less motivated and more elusive candidates such as fuzzy dark matter. This gives an idea of the spectrum of conceivable dark matter candidates, while certainly not exhausting it.

Anisotropic Hydrodynamics
by Michael Strickland - arXiv
I review the material presented in three introductory lectures. I review the derivation of ideal and second-order viscous hydrodynamics from kinetic theory. I then show how to extend the methods used to a system that can be highly anisotropic...

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
by Subir Sarkar - arXiv
We first present a pedagogical account of relativistic cosmology and primordial nucleosynthesis, discussing both theoretical and observational aspects, and then examine such constraints in detail, in particular those pertaining to new particles.

Elementary Particles in Physics
by S. Gasiorowicz, P. Langacker - University of Pennsylvania
Elementary-particle physics deals with the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. In this comprehensive article we shall attempt to sketch the outlines of the standard model and its possible extensions.
