Superfluid He-4 as Dark Matter Detectors
Zizhou Huang, Mihaela Parvu, Dmitry Budker +2
Superfluid helium-4 is an attractive medium for high-sensitivity detection of dark matter (DM) candidates (as well as other particles). There are several collaborations that have b…
Mysterious Transients in the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS-1) as profound manifestation of the Dark Matter physics
Ariel Zhitnitsky
Transient star-like objects of unknown origin have been identified in the first Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS-1) as part of the Vanishing and Appearing Sources during a Cent…
Unidentified falling objects in the LHC as dark matter signals
Xunyu Liang, Ariel Zhitnitsky
Unidentified Falling Objects (UFOs) refer to sporadic beam losses observed during LHC operation. The prevailing explanation is that micrometer-sized dust particles released from th…
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…
DESI results and Dark Energy from QCD topological sectors
Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We present a physically motivated model of dark energy (DE) rooted in the topological structure of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum. In this framework, DE arises from the di…
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.…
Ball Lightning as a profound manifestation of the Dark Matter physics
Ariel Zhitnitsky
Ball lighting (BL) has been observed for centuries. There are large number of books, review articles, and original scientific papers devoted to different aspects of BL phenomenon.…
Novel Dark Matter Signatures
A. Argiriou, G. Cantatore, S. A. Cetin +16
Celestial observations often exhibit inexplicable planetary dependencies when the timing of an observable is projected onto planetary heliocentric positions. This is possible only…
The Glow of Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: (II) Galaxy Clusters
Julian S. Sommer, Klaus Dolag, Ludwig M. Böss +8
(abridged) We analyze the emission of axion quark nuggets in a large sample of 161 simulated galaxy clusters using the SLOW simulation. These clusters are divided into a sub-sample…
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…
Daily modulations and broadband strategy in axion searches. An application with CAST-CAPP detector
F. Caspers, C. M. Adair, K. Altenmüller +60
It has been previously advocated that the presence of the daily and annual modulations of the axion flux on the Earth's surface may dramatically change the strategy of the axion se…
Mysterious anomalies in Earth's atmosphere and strongly interacting Dark Matter
Ariel Zhitnitsky, Marios Maroudas
It has been recently argued in \cite{Bertolucci:2016xjm, Zioutas:2020ndf, Zioutas:2023ybw} that numerous enigmatic observations remain challenging to explain within the framework o…
Search for anti-quark nuggets via their interaction with the LHC beam
K. Zioutas, A. Zhitnitsky, C. Zamantzas +11
Anti-quark nuggets (AQNs) have been suggested to solve the dark matter (DM) and the missing antimatter problem in the universe and have been proposed as an explanation of various o…
Neutron Stars as the Dark Matter detectors
Ariel Zhitnitsky
It has been known for quite sometime that the Neutron Stars (NS) can play a role of the Dark Matter (DM) detectors due to many uniques features of NS. We apply these (previously de…
