📃Scientific paper: Self-Interacting Forbidden Dark Matter under a Cannibally Co-Decaying Phase Abstract: In a usual dark matter \(DM\) model without a huge mass difference between the DM and lighter mediator, using the coupling strength suitable for having the correct relic density, the resulting self-interaction becomes several orders of magnitude smaller than that required to interpret the small scale structures. We present a framework that can offer a solution for this point. We consider a model that contains the vector DM and a heavier but unstable Higgs-like scalar in the hidden sector. When the temperature drops below $\sim m\_\{\rm DM\}$, the hidden sector, which is thermally decoupled from the visible sector, enters a cannibal phase, during which the DM density is depleted with the out-of-equilibrium decay of the scalar. The favored parameter region, giving the correct relic density and the proper size of self-interactions, shows the scalar-to-DM mass ratio $\in \[1.1,1.33\]$ and the scalar mass $\in\[9,114\]\,\{\rm MeV\}$. A sizable parameter space still survives the most current constraints and can be further probed by the near future NA62 beam dump experiment. ;Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures, The content redrawn; Some statements corrected; Figures revised; Main results unchanged Discover the rest of the scientific article on es/iode ➡️https://etcse.fr/lp3

“The quantity and quality of surface waters are inherently connected yet are overwhelmingly studied independently in the field of remote sensing”   Remotely observable water quantity (e.g., water extent, water elevation, lake/reservoir volume, and river discharge) and water quality (e.g., color, turbidity, total suspended solids, chlorophyll a, colored dissolved organic matter, and temperature) parameters of inland waterbodies interact through a series of hydrological and biogeochemical processes. In this review, trends in remote sensing publications were examined to better understand the prevalence of studies on the quantity versus quality of open-surface inland waterbodies (e.g., rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs) as well as identified opportunities for integrating both water quality and quantity sensing in future work. The overview offers insights into these commonly ignored connections in the field of satellite remote sensing and offers future steps toward a more holistic observation of inland water dynamics. Specifically, the study objectives were to 1) provide a synthesis of satellite-observable water quantity and quality parameters of inland waterbodies; 2) identify connections between inland water quantity and quality; 3) help bridge the divide between water quantity and quality within the field of remote sensing; and 4) offer potential steps forward by highlighting knowledge gaps and suggesting relevant science questions.   An insightful examination is provided by Ellis et al. (2024) in WIRES Water, “Bridging the divide between inland water quantity and quality with satellite remote sensing: An interdisciplinary review”
