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…
