The -axion and -axiverse of dark QCD
Stephon Alexander, Humberto Gilmer, Tucker Manton +1
Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are a prominent dark matter candidate, drawing motivation in part from the axiverse of string theory. Axion-like particles can also arise as…
Towards A Direct Detection of the Spin of Dark Matter
Leah Jenks, Konstantinos Koutrolikos, Evan McDonough +2
We investigate the contribution of higher spin particles in the signal of direct detection experiments searching for dark matter. We consider a bosonic or fermionic higher spin dar…
Ultra-Light Pion and Baryon WIMPzilla Dark Matter
Azadeh Maleknejad, Evan McDonough
We consider a dark confining gauge theory with millicharged Ultra-Light Pions (ULP) and heavy baryons as dark matter candidates. The model simultaneously realizes the ultra-light (…
Higher Spin Dark Matter
Stephon Alexander, Leah Jenks, Evan McDonough
Little is known about dark matter beyond the fact that it does not interact with the standard model or itself, or else does so incredibly weakly. A natural candidate, given the his…
