Work In Progress (WIP)
The Work In Progress (WIP) initiative is a student Journal Club seminar organized by PhD students for PhD students. It is meant to be an informal meeting, happening on time to time, generally held on Friday at 4pm in room 137 (first floor), every week. The seminars typically last for 45 minutes leaving time for questions and discussion. Afterwards we gather at the SISSA canteen for the PhDrinks.
For infos please contact Fabrizio Aramini (faramini@sissa.it), Stefano Lanza (slanza@sissa.it) or Paul Veltman (pveltman@sissa.it).
You can find the list of past seminars at WIP history.

Exploring the Dark Matter–Baryon Coincidence in a Supercooled Universe |
| I will discuss how a supercooling epoch in the early universe can shift dark matter freeze-out and dilute its relic abundance compared to the standard thermal history. In this scenario, the baryon number density is also modified, opening new pathways to explain the observed (near-)equality of baryon and dark matter abundances. I will present an explicit example in the context of strongly coupled sectors at high mass scales undergoing a supercooled confinement transition. | |
