Loosely Bound Composite Dark Matter
Javier F. Acevedo, Yilda Boukhtouchen, Joseph Bramante +3
We investigate loosely bound composite states made of dark matter, where the binding energy for constituent particles is less than the constituent mass. We focus on models of nucle…
Resonant or asymmetric: The status of sub-GeV dark matter
Sowmiya Balan, Csaba Balázs, Torsten Bringmann +9
Sub-GeV dark matter (DM) particles produced via thermal freeze-out evade many of the strong constraints on heavier DM candidates but at the same time face a multitude of new constr…
Dissipative Dark Cosmology: From Early Matter Dominance to Delayed Compact Objects
Joseph Bramante, Christopher V. Cappiello, Melissa D. Diamond +3
We demonstrate a novel mechanism for producing dark compact objects and black holes through a dark sector, where all the dark matter can be dissipative. Heavy dark sector particles…
Cosmic Ray-Boosted Dark Matter at IceCube
Christopher Cappiello, Qinrui Liu, Gopolang Mohlabeng +1
Cosmic ray (CR) upscattering of dark matter is considered as one of the most straightforward mechanisms to accelerate ambient dark matter, making it detectable at high threshold, l…
