Unified Gas Heating Constraints on Extended Dark Matter Compact Objects

TaeHun Kim, Philip Lu, Volodymyr Takhistov

We present the first unified constraints on a broad class of extended dark matter compact objects (EDCOs) from interstellar gas heating. These include axion stars, Q-balls, axion m…

Multimessenger Astronomy Beyond the Standard Model: New Window from Quantum Sensors

Jason Arakawa, Muhammad H. Zaheer, Volodymyr Takhistov +3

Ultralight bosonic (ULB) fields with mass ~eV often arise in theories beyond the Standard Model (SM). If such fields exist, violent astrophysical events that result in e…

Nuclear Spin Metrology with Nitrogen Vacancy Center in Diamond for Axion Dark Matter Detection

So Chigusa, Masashi Hazumi, Ernst David Herbschleb +3

We present a method to directly detect the axion dark matter using nitrogen vacancy centers in diamonds. In particular, we use metrology leveraging the nuclear spin of nitrogen to…

Energy-dependent Boosted Dark Matter from Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background

Anirban Das, Tim Herbermann, Manibrata Sen +1

Diffuse neutrinos from past supernovae in the Universe present us with a unique opportunity to test dark matter (DM) interactions. These neutrinos can scatter and boost the DM part…

Misalignment production of vector boson dark matter from axion-SU(2) inflation

Tomohiro Fujita, Kai Murai, Kazunori Nakayama +1

We present a new mechanism to generate a coherently oscillating dark vector field from axion-SU(2) gauge field dynamics during inflation. The SU(2) gauge field acquires a nonzero b…

Quantum entanglement of ions for light dark matter detection

Asuka Ito, Ryuichiro Kitano, Wakutaka Nakano +1

A detection scheme is explored for light dark matter, such as axion dark matter or dark photon dark matter, using a Paul ion trap system. We first demonstrate that a qubit, constru…

Effects of Finite Material Size On Axion-magnon Conversion

So Chigusa, Asuka Ito, Kazunori Nakayama +1

Magnetic materials are particularly favorable targets for detecting axions interacting with electrons because the collective excitation of electron spins, the magnon, can be excite…

Chiral anomaly in a (1+1)-dimensional Floquet system under high-frequency electric fields

Kenji Fukushima, Yoshimasa Hidaka, Takuya Shimazaki +1

We investigate the chiral anomaly in a Floquet system under a time-periodic electric field in (1+1) dimensions. Using the van~Vleck high-frequency expansion, we analytically calcul…

Viable Vector Coherent Oscillation Dark Matter

Naoya Kitajima, Kazunori Nakayama

We construct a viable model of the vector coherent oscillation dark matter. The vector boson is coupled to the inflaton through the kinetic function so that the effective Hubble ma…

Zero Casimir Force in Axion Electrodynamics and the Search for a New Force

Yohei Ema, Masashi Hazumi, Hideo Iizuka +2

We point out that there is a stable configuration of metal plates where the Casimir force is vanishing in axion electrodynamics. We consider a concrete setup involving Weyl semimet…

Instability of the Electroweak Vacuum in Starobinsky Inflation

Qiang Li, Takeo Moroi, Kazunori Nakayama +1

We study the stability of the electroweak vacuum during and after the Starobinsky inflation, assuming the existence of the non-minimal Higgs coupling to the Ricci scalar. In the St…

Scalar field couplings to quadratic curvature and decay into gravitons

Yohei Ema, Kyohei Mukaida, Kazunori Nakayama

Any field, even if it lives in a completely hidden sector, interacts with the visible sector at least via the gravitational interaction. In this paper, we show that a scalar field…

Cosmological Dependence of Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter With Self-Interacting Neutrinos

Carlos Chichiri, Graciela B. Gelmini, Philip Lu +1

Unexplored interactions of neutrinos could be the key to understanding the nature of the dark matter (DM). In particular, active neutrinos with new self-interactions can produce ke…
