Design of ALPHA Phase I: A Plasma Haloscope for 10--20 GHz Post-Inflation Axions
ALPHA Collaboration, Xiran Bai, Rustam Balafendiev +54
The axion is a well-motivated hypothetical particle capable of resolving both the strong CP problem and the dark matter mystery, with recent post-inflationary cosmological simulati…
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: (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…
