We show that in the case of small R-parity and lepton number breaking couplings, primordial nucleosynthesis, thermal leptogenesis and gravitino dark matter are naturally consistent for gravitino…
AXINOS AS COLD DARK MATTER
- L. Covi
- Physics
- 3 May 1999
We show that axinos produced in the early Universe in the decay of the lightest neutralinos are a compelling candidate for cold dark matter. We argue that axinos may well provide the main component…
De Sitter vacua in no-scale supergravities and Calabi-Yau string models
- L. Covi, M. Gómez-Reino, C. Gross, J. Louis, G. Palma, C. Scrucca

- 7 April 2008
We perform a general analysis on the possibility of obtaining metastable vacua with spontaneously broken N = 1 supersymmetry and non-negative cosmological constant in the moduli sector of string…
The number density of a charged relic
- C. Berger, L. Covi, S. Kraml, F. Palorini
- Physics
- 1 July 2008
We investigate scenarios in which a charged, long-lived scalar particle decouples from the primordial plasma in the early Universe. We compute the number density at the time of freeze-out considering…
Axinos as dark matter
- L. Covi, H. Kim, Jihn E. Kim, L. Roszkowski

- 31 December 2000
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model that incorporate the axion solution to the strong CP problem necessarily contain also the axino, the fermionic partner of the axion. In contrast to the…
Constraints on modular inflation in supergravity and string theory

- 21 May 2008
We perform a general algebraic analysis on the possibility of realising slow-roll inflation in the moduli sector of string models. This problem turns out to be very closely related to the…
Gamma-rays from decaying dark matter
- G. Bertone, W. Buchmüller, L. Covi, A. Ibarra
- Physics
- 14 September 2007
We study the prospects for detecting gamma-rays from decaying dark matter (DM), focusing in particular on gravitino DM in R-parity breaking vacua. Given the substantially different angular…
Direct detection of dark matter—APPEC committee report

- 15 April 2021
This report provides an extensive review of the experimental programme of direct detection searches of particle dark matter. It focuses mostly on European efforts, both current and planned, but does…
Finite temperature effects on CP violating asymmetries
- L. Covi, N. Rius, E. Roulet, F. Vissani
- Physics
- 21 April 1997
We compute the CP violating decay asymmetries relevant for baryogenesis scenarios involving the out of equilibrium decays of heavy particles, including the finite temperature effects arising from the…
