Red-Giant Branch Stellar Cores as Macroscopic Dark Matter Detectors
Christopher Dessert, Zachary Johnson
We show that macroscopic dark matter (DM) impacts on the degenerate helium cores of red-giant branch (RGB) stars can ignite helium fusion via DM-baryon elastic scattering. The onse…
R-Parity Violation Axiogenesis
Raymond T. Co, Keisuke Harigaya, Zachary Johnson +1
We show that the rotation of the QCD axion field, aided by violation from supersymmetric -parity violating couplings, can yield the observed baryon abundance. Strong sphal…
Indirect Detection of Secluded Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Patrick Barnes, Zachary Johnson, Aaron Pierce +1
Weak-scale secluded sector dark matter can reproduce the observed dark matter relic density with thermal freeze-out within that sector. If nature is supersymmetric, three portals t…
Simple Hidden Sector Dark Matter
Patrick Barnes, Zachary Johnson, Aaron Pierce +1
A hidden sector that kinetically mixes with the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model provides simple and well-motivated dark matter candidates that possess many of the properties…
