Heavy Dark Baryons as Self-Interacting Dark Matter: A GeV-Scale Coincidence

Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Juan Herrero-Garc\'ıa

We study self-interacting dark matter composed of heavy baryons in a confining dark gauge theory with a single heavy vector-like quark, . In this regime, the d…

Heavy Dark Baryons at Large : Self-Interactions across All Scales

Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Juan Herrero-Garc\'ıa

We show that heavy dark baryons in a confining sector with a moderately large number of colors, --, can generate self-interactions spanning the full range of…

Endothermic dark matter with a light dark photon and the LUX-ZEPLIN high-energy nuclear-recoil candidate

Pengxuan Zhu, Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Xuan-Gong Wang +2

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment has reported an inelastic nuclear-recoil candidate at . We test whether endothermic pseudo-…

Opening the Parameter Space of sub-GeV Inelastic Dark Matter through Parity Violation

Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Juan Herrero-García, Joel Jones-Pérez +1

Sub-GeV dark matter (DM) has emerged as a particularly compelling target in light of the persistent null results from conventional DM searches. While s-wave annihilating DM candida…

Di-decay signature of new physics particles at intensity frontier experiments

Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Maksym Ovchynnikov

We present a discovery-era strategy for Intensity Frontier experiments based on ``di-decay'' events, in which feebly interacting particles (FIPs) are produced in pairs and then bot…

Not-so-inelastic Dark Matter

Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Felix Kahlhoefer, Maksym Ovchynnikov +1

Models of inelastic (or pseudo-Dirac) dark matter commonly assume an accidental symmetry between the left-handed and right-handed mass terms in order to suppress diagonal couplings…

Phenomenology of axion-like particles with universal fermion couplings -- revisited

Giovani Dalla Valle Garcia, Felix Kahlhoefer, Maksym Ovchynnikov +1

Axion-like particles (ALPs) emerge in many extensions of the Standard Model as pseudo-Goldstone bosons of a spontaneously broken global symmetry. Understanding their phenomenology…
