We study a two-component dark matter scenario comprising a stable pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) and its nearly degenerate long-lived quasi-pNGB partner. An approximate scalar symmetry relates their masses and suppresses the tree-level Higgs-mediated elastic scattering of the excited state …
Presented a poster on two-component pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson dark matter at the 30th International Summer Institute on Phenomenology of Elementary Particle Physics and Cosmology.
Working on paleo-detection of dark matter.
We study a two-component pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone-boson (pNGB) dark matter (DM) model motivated by boosted dark matter (BDM). The model is based on a complex scalar field charged under a dark $\text{U}(1)_V$ gauge symmetry, with a softly broken global $\text{SU}(3)_g$ symmetry that is spontaneously …
Awarded a 2026 research encouragement grant from Fujukai (風樹会) in support of my research on methods to probe pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter.
Awarded the 2026 Sasakawa Scientific Research Grant from The Japan Science Society for a project on methods to probe pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter.
