AMS-02, Strongly Self-Interacting Dark Matter, and QUD

Abstract

The latest AMS-02 electron/positron precision data add to the spectrum knee as direct cosmic ray evidence for an electroweak scale strong interaction. In addition, there is significant evidence for a strong self-interaction of dark matter. QUD is a unique massless SU(5) field theory with an anomaly-generated bound-state S-Matrix that could be an unconventional origin for the Standard Model. The electroweak scale color sextet quark enhanced QCD interaction is the only new physics. Production of multiple vector bosons, that acquire masses via sextet quark pions, will give the AMS positron and electron cross-sections - related vector boson pair production having been seen at the LHC. Stable sextet quark neutrons (neusons) provide a novel form of very strongly interacting dark matter that has the desired experimental properties. Large rapidity hadronic production of neusons will produce the knee.
