Hello, I AM

Marco Hufnagel

PostDoc in Particle Physics

Research Interests

My research interest is mainly focused on theories beyond the Standard Model and their potential implications for early universe cosmology, astroparticle physics, and colliders. In particular, I am interested in deciphering the nature of dark matter by confronting different dark matter scenarios with recent observations from cosmology and astrophysics as well as particle physics experiments

Keywords: physics beyond the SM, dark matter, big bang nucleosynthesis, particle physics – cosmology connection, dark-matter production mechanisms

Highlights

Flounder v1.2.3

Version 1.2.3 of Flounder got released. Flounder is a cross-platform counter that can be used for the time-management in scientific talks, including whole conferences and workshops. Use it directly in your browser on any platform by visiting timer.hep-mh.com or check out the source code on  GitHub.
There also exist native applications for various platforms. Feel free to download them from GitHub as well.

ACROPOLIS v1.2.2

Verions 1.2.2 of ACROPOLIS got released. ACROPOLIS is a generic framework to calculate the evolution of the light-element abundances due to photodisintegration reactions induced by different BSM particles. Check out and download the code on HEP-Forge or  GitHub.

Dark Matter from Exponential Growth

Our recent paper "Dark Matter from Exponential Growth" (a.k.a. "Pandemic Dark Matter") made it onto the coverpage of PRL.
