17
Dark radiation (DR) 4 th neutrino-like component in cosmic ν background Ultralight mass: M DR ≦ m ν ≦ 0.1 eV Almost no interaction: Gravity or… How can we detect the presence indirectly?
18
In radiation-dominated era with T ≦ 1MeV DR DR and expansion of the universe

3. LARGE volume scenario (LVS): IIB orientifold supergravities in flux vacua
33
Motivation for string theory Unified theory including quantum gravity! Closed string Gravity = Gravity Open string Gauge = Gauge D-brane Open string between branes Matter = Matter nucleons
34
Extra dimensions and SUSY The quantum gravity theory requires extra 6 dimensions and supersymmetry (SUSY). M 4 × 4+6=10
35
The Standard ModelModuli & Hidden sectors E.g. Gravity Anomaly cancellation condition Phenomenological motivation Hidden sectors appear naturally through stringy compactifications!

37
4-cycle size: T (Kähler moduli) 3-cycle size: U (Complex structure moduli) + String Dilaton: S Moduli in a Calabi-Yau space SUSY-preserved compactification
38
Why moduli and axions? 1.Ubiquitous in string vacua. 2.VEVs = physical constants: Size of extra dimension; Gauge/Yukawa couplings, SUSY-breaking parameters.

48
Example of potential for moduli
49
Ultralight axion(s) In a LARGE volume limit of compact space, axion will get ultralight thanks to a residual gauge symmetries on C n in 10D: The axions originate from gravity C n (NSNS or RR-field).

5. Dark radiation and dark matter from the modulus decay TH, Takahashi See also Cicoli, Conlon, Quevedo
66
Why modulus decay? Answer: It reheats the universe, producing DM and DR. : Canonically-normalized fluctuation of T b
67
Moduli problem in LVS Before inflation, modulus will be in the vacuum
68

72
For H inf > m φ1 decompactification occurs. is required. Moduli problem in LVS
73
At the end of inflation, inflaton contribution will vanish. Moduli problem for H inf ≦ m φ1 TH, Kamada, Takahashi
74
At the end of inflation, modulus starts to oscillate for m Inflaton > m φ1. Amplitude: Moduli problem for H inf ≦ m φ1 TH, Kamada, Takahashi
75
At the end of inflation, modulus starts to oscillate for m Inflaton > m φ1. Energy (matter-like): Moduli problem for H inf ≦ m φ1 TH, Kamada, Takahashi

79
Modulus decay into Higgs and axions Decay width of modulus φ 1 Reheating temperature and branching to DR
80
n H : The total number of Higgs multiplets z 2 ⇔ n H Decay width of modulus φ 1 with z=1 Partial decay width to DR with z=1 If there are additional Higgses,…
81
Dark radiation vs z (n H =1) m φ ~ V -3/2 ΔN eff obs ~ 1
82
Gauge-Higgs Unification in SUSY? We have z ~ 1 (tanβ ~ 1), if K ~ |H u + H d † | 2 with a shift symmetry H u → H u + ic, H d → H d + ic. Hebecker et al. Non-chiral Higgs pair
83
Dark matter: Wino (With assumed R-parity)
84
DM: Motivation for SUSY R-parity(Superpartner)= -1 R-parity(SM-particles)= +1 DM = Wino is assumed
85
Modulus decay into Wino DM φ1φ1 HuHu HdHd Br = O(1)
86
Modulus decay into Wino DM HuHu HdHd Br = O(0.01) ~ 1/N channel for m 0 = 1/V 2 = O(10) TeV, μ ~ M 1/2 = 1/log(V)V 2 = O(1) TeV.
87
Wino DM pair annihilation These process hardly depends on the branching fraction.
88
Wino abundance Ω wino h 2 vs z (Ω CDM h 2 ) obs ~ 0.1 For z ~ 1.5, ΔN eff ~ 1 m Wino ~ 500GeV
89
Moroi, Nakayama (2011) Constraint on Wino-like DM mass m Wino ≧ 500 GeV!
90
DR and DM from modulus decay Higgs from φ 1 DR (no-scale), DM (the decay) For z ~ 1.5 or 2-3 ×(H u, H d ) with each z = 1, DR can be explained. For m Wino ~ 500 GeV, DR and DM are explained. If higgsino is DM, they are too many produced.
