Declining or Waning
- Classical Cosmology without Modifications:
Papers focusing on traditional models of cosmology, such as the standard ΛCDM model without modifications, have seen a decrease as researchers increasingly explore more complex models that incorporate new physics. - Non-Standard Neutrino Physics:
Research on non-standard neutrino interactions has become less frequent, possibly due to a convergence of experimental results towards standard neutrino models, diminishing the urgency for alternative frameworks. - Basic Dark Matter Candidate Studies:
Initial explorations of simple dark matter candidates (such as WIMPs) have declined in favor of more nuanced models, such as those involving interactions with new physics or complex dynamics. - Strictly Particle Physics-Focused Studies:
Papers that solely concentrate on particle physics without a cosmological context have waned, indicating a shift towards integrated approaches that relate particle physics to cosmological observations.
