abstract
We present a new paradigm for achieving thermal relic dark matter. The mechanism arises when a nearly secluded dark sector is thermalized with the Standard Model after reheating. The freezeout process is a number-changing 3->2 annihilation of strongly-interacting-massive-particles (SIMPs) in the dark sector, and points to sub-GeV dark matter. The couplings to the visible sector, necessary for maintaining thermal equilibrium with the Standard Model, imply measurable signals that will allow coverage of a significant part of the parameter space with future indirect- and direct-detection experiments and via direct production of dark matter at colliders. Moreover, 3->2 annihilations typically predict sizable 2->2 self-interactions which naturally address the `core vs. cusp' and `too-big-to-fail' small structure problems.

Strongly interacting dark matter described by a first-principles G2 gauge-theory equation of state can be mixed into neutron stars while remaining compatible with current observational constraints.
Dark pions stabilized by U(1) flavor symmetry in an SU(3)/SO(3) dark sector obtain the correct thermal relic density through up-scatterings to heavier mesons and dark eta decays, producing LHC signals from long-lived particle showers.
A Z_N-symmetric multi-copy dark-QCD axion, broken by single-sector reheating, yields natural phantom-crossing dark energy with dark-pion DM in a viable parameter window.
ANTARES Galactic Ridge neutrino observations constrain DM-nucleon elastic scattering cross sections down to keV-scale DM masses via cosmic ray–dark matter deep inelastic scattering.
Presents a tensorized GPU implementation of the 2-to-2 elastic self-collision operator for dark-sector particles and applies it to a two-source freeze-in scenario where self-interactions erase bimodal features.
Astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter halo models produce O(1% to 100%) fractional deviations in predicted single-phonon rates, but can be captured by parameter variations within the Standard Halo Model after rms-matching.
Constraints on sub-GeV inelastic dark matter are derived from cosmic-ray cooling in NGC 1068 by including elastic and deep inelastic scattering in a vector-portal model.
An explicit model is built where Dirac fermion dark matter semi-annihilates to boosted dark matter plus neutrinos, with two-loop radiative neutrino masses, requiring a mediator mass of O(1) MeV to reach O(10^{-36}) cm² scattering cross section detectable in DUNE and DARWIN.
Density-of-states lattice study of the first-order phase transition in Sp(4) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature, confirming metastability and surface tension for two temporal extents toward the continuum limit.
Super-Kamiokande data constrains the DM-electron scattering cross-section for leptophilic dark matter to ~4e-41 cm2 below 100 GeV, exceeding direct detection by over an order of magnitude.
The thesis presents a new 3-to-2 freezeout mechanism, bound-state effects on searches, a new axion interferometric search, reionization assessments, 21-cm constraints, and the DarkHistory code for ionization and thermal histories.
Future MeV telescopes are projected to improve existing limits on sterile neutrino dark matter decay rates by several orders of magnitude.
Inelastic self-interacting dark matter with small mass splitting produces a cutoff in the matter power spectrum at k > 1 h Mpc^{-1} whose location depends on cross-section normalization, velocity dependence, dark matter mass and mass splitting, yielding non-monotonic exclusion regions from Lyman-α森林
