QCD-Collapsed Domain Walls: QCD Phase Transition and Gravitational Wave Spectroscopy
Yang Bai, Ting-Kuo Chen, Mrunal Korwar
For a discrete symmetry that is anomalous under QCD, the domain walls produced in the early universe from its spontaneous breaking can naturally annihilate due to QCD instanton eff…
Dark Exoplanets
Yang Bai, Sida Lu, Nicholas Orlofsky
The prevailing assumption is that all exoplanets are made of ordinary matter. However, we propose an unconventional possibility that some exoplanets could be made of dark matter, w…
Variant Nelson-Barr Mechanism with Minimal Flavor Violation
Yang Bai, George N. Wojcik
Within the general framework of using spontaneous CP violation to solve the strong CP problem, we construct a variant Nelson-Barr model in which the Standard Model (SM) quark contr…
Near-Extremal Charged Black Holes: Greybody Factors and Evolution
Yang Bai, Mrunal Korwar
As a charged black hole reaches its extremal state via Hawking radiation, quantum effects become important for its thermodynamic properties when its temperature is below a mass gap…
Origin of nontopological soliton dark matter: solitosynthesis or phase transition
Yang Bai, Sida Lu, Nicholas Orlofsky
This work demonstrates that nontopological solitons with large global charges and masses, even above the Planck scale, can form in the early universe and dominate the dark matter a…
IceCube at the Frontier of Macroscopic Dark Matter Direct Detection
Yang Bai, Joshua Berger, Mrunal Korwar
For a class of macroscopic dark matter models, inelastic scattering of dark matter off a nucleus can generate electromagnetic signatures with GeV-scale energy. The IceCube detector…
