Unidentified falling objects in the LHC as dark matter signals
Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
Unidentified Falling Objects (UFOs) refer to sporadic beam losses observed during LHC operation. The prevailing explanation is that micrometer-sized dust particles released from th…
The Glow of Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: (IV) CMB Spectral and Anisotropy Signatures
Fereshteh Majidi, Xunyu Liang, Michael Sekatchev +2
Axion quark nuggets (AQNs) are macroscopic dark-matter candidates, with masses of the order of a few grams to a kilogram and sub-micron radius, thought to form at the Quantum Chrom…
The Glow of Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: (III) The Mysteries of the Milky Way UV Background
Michael Sekatchev, Xunyu Liang, Fereshteh Majidi +3
Axion quark nuggets (AQNs) are hypothetical objects with nuclear density that would have formed during the quark-hadron transition and could make up most of the dark matter today.…
The Glow of Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: (II) Galaxy Clusters
Julian S. Sommer, Klaus Dolag, Ludwig M. Böss +8
(abridged) We analyze the emission of axion quark nuggets in a large sample of 161 simulated galaxy clusters using the SLOW simulation. These clusters are divided into a sub-sample…
The Glow of Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: (I) Large Scale Structures
Fereshteh Majidi, Xunyu Liang, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +5
Axion quark nuggets (AQNs) are hypothetical objects with a mass greater than a few grams and sub-micrometer size, formed during the quark-hadron transition. Originating from the ax…
The ANITA Anomalous Events and Axion Quark Nuggets
Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
The Antarctic Impulse Transient Antenna (\textsc{ANITA}) collaboration [1-3] has reported two anomalous events with noninverted polarity. These events are hard to explain in terms…
Telescope Array Bursts, Radio Pulses and Axion Quark Nuggets
Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
Telescope Array (TA) experiment has recorded \cite{Abbasi:2017rvx,Okuda_2019} several short time bursts of air shower like events. These bursts are very distinct from conventional…
A Proposed Network to Detect Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter
Xunyu Liang, Egor Peshkov, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +1
A network of synchronized detectors can increase the likelihood of discovering the QCD axion, within the Axion Quark Nugget (AQN) dark matter model. A similar network can also disc…
Axion Quark Nuggets and how a Global Network can discover them
Dmitry Budker, Victor V. Flambaum, Xunyu Liang +1
We advocate an idea that the presence of the daily and annual modulations of the axion flux on the Earth surface may dramatically change the strategy of the axion searches. Our com…
Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: Time Modulations and Amplifications
Xunyu Liang, Alexander Mead, Md Shahriar Rahim Siddiqui +2
We study the new mechanism of the axion production suggested recently in [1,2]. This mechanism is based on the so-called Axion Quark Nugget (AQN) dark matter model, which was origi…
Gravitationally trapped axions on Earth
Kyle Lawson, Xunyu Liang, Alexander Mead +3
We advocate for the idea that there is a fundamentally new mechanism for axion production on Earth, as recently suggested in Fischer et al. (2018) and Liang & Zhitnitsky (2018). We…
Gravitationally bound axions and how one can discover them
Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
As recently advocated in \cite{Fischer:2018niu}, there is a fundamentally new mechanism for the axion production in the Sun and Earth. However, the role of very slow axions in prev…
New mechanism producing axions in the AQN model and how the CAST can discover them
H. Fischer, X. Liang, Y. Semertzidis +2
We advocate the idea that there is a fundamentally new mechanism for the axion production in the Sun, which has never been discussed previously in the literature. This novel mechan…
Cosmological Axion and Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model
Shuailiang Ge, Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We study a dark matter (DM) model offering a very natural explanation of two (naively unrelated) problems in cosmology: the observed relation and th…
Cosmological CP odd axion field as the coherent Berry's phase of the Universe
Shuailiang Ge, Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We consider a dark matter (DM) model offering a very natural explanation of the observed relation, . This generic consequence of the model is a r…
Axion field and the quark nugget's formation at the QCD phase transition
Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We study a testable dark matter (DM) model outside of the standard WIMP paradigm in which the observed ratio for visible and dark matter densi…
