Cosmological Abundance of Colored Relics

Christian Gross, Andrea Mitridate, Michele Redi +2

The relic cosmological abundance of stable or long-lived neutral colored particles gets reduced by about a few orders of magnitude by annihilations that occur after QCD confinement…

Gluequark Dark Matter

Roberto Contino, Andrea Mitridate, Alessandro Podo +1

We introduce the gluequark Dark Matter candidate, an accidentally stable bound state made of adjoint fermions and gluons from a new confining gauge force. Such scenario displays an…

Bounds on Dark Matter decay from 21 cm line

Andrea Mitridate, Alessandro Podo

The observation of the cosmic 21-cm spectrum can serve as a probe for Dark Matter properties. We point out that the knowledge of the signal amplitude at a given redshift allows one…

Colored Dark Matter

Valerio De Luca, Andrea Mitridate, Michele Redi +2

We explore the possibility that Dark Matter is the lightest hadron made of two stable color octet Dirac fermions . The cosmological DM abundance is reproduced for $M_{\ca…

Dark Matter as a weakly coupled Dark Baryon

Andrea Mitridate, Michele Redi, Juri Smirnov +1

Dark Matter might be an accidentally stable baryon of a new confining gauge interaction. We extend previous studies exploring the possibility that the DM is made of dark quarks hea…

Cosmological Implications of Dark Matter Bound States

Andrea Mitridate, Michele Redi, Juri Smirnov +1

We present generic formulae for computing how Sommerfeld corrections together with bound-state formation affects the thermal abundance of Dark Matter with non-abelian gauge interac…
