Multi-lepton anomalies at the Large Hadron Collider are reasonably well described by a two Higgs doublet model with an additional singlet scalar. Here, we demonstrate that using this model, with parameters set by the LHC, we are also able to describe the excesses in gamma-ray flux from the galactic centre and the cosmic-ray spectra from AMS-02. This is achieved through Dark Matter (DM) annihilation via the singlet scalar. Of great interest is the flux of synchrotron emissions which results from annihilation of DM in Milky-Way satellites. We make predictions for MeerKAT observations of the nearby dwarf galaxy Reticulum~II and we demonstrate the power of this instrument as a new frontier in indirect dark matter searches. Since the dark matter sector of the aforementioned two Higgs doublet model is unconstrained by LHC data, we also demonstrate a synergy between particle and astrophysical searches in order to motivate further exploration of this promising model.

A recent study [1] has shown that a simplified model predicting a heavy scalar of mass 270 GeV ($H$) that decays to a Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson in association with a scalar singlet of mass 150 GeV ($S$) can accommodate several anomalous multi-l
epton results in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With this in mind, the goal of this article is to provide a more formal study of a wider set of LHC results pertaining to the production of multiple leptons. We find that a combination of such results lead to strong discrepancies between the data and SM Monte Carlo predictions. These discrepancies appear in corners of the phase-space where different SM processes dominate, indicating that the potential mismodeling of a single SM process is unlikely to explain them. Systematic uncertainties from the prediction of SM processes evaluated with currently available tools seem unable to explain away these discrepancies. A combination is able to constrain the simplified models single degree of freedom $beta_g^2$, related to the size of the Yukawa coupling of $H$ to the top quark, to a value of $2.92pm 0.35$. This is in contrast to the absence of signal, where $beta_g=0$. This result is discussed in the independent contexts of both potential for new physics in the existing LHC data as well as the limitations of our current understanding of the SM. That being said, QCD NNLO and EW NLO corrections in di-lepton final states are not expected to change the conclusions of this study. New results pertaining to the production of two opposite sign different flavour charged leptons with a full jet veto further confirm the presence of anomalies in similar corners of the leptonic phase-space.
The future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is an accelerator-based international center for fundamental and applied research, which presently is under construction in Darmstadt, Germany. An important part of the program is devoted to
questions related to astrophysics, including the origin of elements in the universe and the properties of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, which are relevant for our understanding of the structure of neutron stars and the dynamics of supernova explosions and neutron star mergers. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR is designed to measure promising observables in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, which are expected to be sensitive to the high-density equation-of-state (EOS) of nuclear matter and to new phases of QCD matter at high densities. The CBM physics program, the relevant observables and the experimental setup will be discussed.
Recent work highlights that tens of Galactic double neutron stars are likely to be detectable in the millihertz band of the space-based gravitational-wave observatory, LISA. Kyutoku and Nishino point out that some of these binaries might be detectabl
e as radio pulsars using the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). We point out that the joint LISA+SKA detection of a $f_text{gw}gtrsim$1 mHz binary, corresponding to a binary period of $lesssim$400 s, would enable precision measurements of ultra-relativistic phenomena. We show that, given plausible assumptions, multi-messenger observations of ultra-relativistic binaries can be used to constrain the neutron star equation of state with remarkable fidelity. It may be possible to measure the mass-radius relation with a precision of $approx$0.2% after 10 yr of observations with the SKA. Such a measurement would be roughly an order of magnitude more precise than possible with other proposed observations. We summarize some of the other remarkable science made possible with multi-messenger observations of millihertz binaries, and discuss the prospects for the detection of such objects.
The implications of the formation of strange quark matter in neutron stars and in core-collapse supernovae is discussed with special emphasis on the possibility of having a strong first order QCD phase transition at high baryon densities. If strange
quark matter is formed in core-collapse supernovae shortly after the bounce, it causes the launch of a second outgoing shock which is energetic enough to lead to a explosion. A signal for the formation of strange quark matter can be read off from the neutrino spectrum, as a second peak in antineutrinos is released when the second shock runs over the neutrinosphere.
