When Tiny Halos Stir Spacetime: Gravitational Waves from Fifth-Force Mergers
Xinpeng Wang, Yifan Lu, Zachary S. C. Picker +2
Dark matter fermions interacting via attractive fifth forces mediated by a light mediator can form dark matter halos in the very early universe. We show that bound systems composed…

Neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, and supermassive black hole formation explained with Majorons
Yifan Lu, Zachary S. C. Picker, Alexander Kusenko +1
The spontaneous breaking of a global lepton number symmetry can result in a (pseudo) Nambu-Goldstone boson known as the Majoron. We study a singlet Majoron model that couples to tw…

A dark matter hail: Detecting macroscopic dark matter with asteroids, planetary rings, and craters
Zachary S. C. Picker
Dark matter could be composed of macroscopic objects with large masses and geometric cross-sections spanning many decades. We investigate the potential interaction of such `stuff-s…
