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…
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.…
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…
