Daily Modulation as a Smoking Gun of Dark Matter with Significant Stopping
Chris Kouvaris, Ian M. Shoemaker
We point out that for a range of parameters, the flux of DM may be stopped significantly by its interactions with the Earth. This can significantly degrade the sensitivity of direc…
Decaying Dark Atom constituents and cosmic positron excess
Konstantin Belotsky, Maxim Khlopov, Chris Kouvaris +1
We present a scenario where dark matter is in the form of dark atoms that can accomodate the experimentally observed excess of positrons in PAMELA and AMS-02 while being compatible…
Blocking the Hawking Radiation
Martin Autzen, Chris Kouvaris
Some severe constraints on asymmetric dark matter are based on the scenario that certain types of WIMPs can form mini-black holes inside neutron stars that can lead to their destru…
Can Dark Matter explain the Braking Index of Neutron Stars?
Chris Kouvaris, M. Angeles Perez-Garcia
We explore a new mechanism of slowing down the rotation of neutron stars via accretion of millicharged dark matter. We find that this mechanism yields pulsar braking indices that c…
