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 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…
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…
