A New Probe of Strongly-Interacting Dark Sector using Neutrino Telescopes

Jose A. Macias Cruz, Christopher V. Cappiello, P. S. Bhupal Dev +1

A confining dark sector modeled after quantum chromodynamics provides a well-motivated framework for strongly-interacting dark matter. We show that dark vector mesons in a confinin…

Sub-GeV dark matter and multi-decay signatures from dark showers at beam-dump experiments

Elias Bernreuther, Nicoline Hemme, Felix Kahlhoefer +2

In models of strongly-interacting dark sectors, the production of dark quarks at accelerators can give rise to dark showers with multiple dark mesons in the final state. If some of…

Surveying the theory space of pion dark matter

Anja Alfano, Nick Evans, Suchita Kulkarni +1

We use a holographic model to survey the space of strongly coupled SU(Nc) gauge dynamics with QCD-like chiral symmetry breaking pattern for quarks in the fundamental representation…

NLO observables for QCD-like theories and application to pion dark matter

Helena Kolešová, Daniil Krichevskiy, Suchita Kulkarni

QCD-like theories are of interest in various areas of beyond-Standard-Model phenomenology, including composite Higgs models or pionic dark matter. The effective field theories prov…

Strongly Interacting Dark Matter admixed Neutron Stars

Yannick Dengler, Suchita Kulkarni, Axel Maas +1

Dark matter may accumulate in neutron stars given its gravitational interaction and abundance. We investigate the influence of strongly-interacting dark matter, described by a QCD-…

Low energy effective theories of composite dark matter with real representations

Joachim Pomper, Suchita Kulkarni

We consider pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons arising from Dirac fermions transforming in real representations of a confining gauge group as dark matter candidates. We consider a speci…

Dark matter relic density in strongly interacting dark sectors with light vector mesons

Elias Bernreuther, Nicoline Hemme, Felix Kahlhoefer +1

Stable dark matter particles may arise as pseudo-Goldstone bosons from the confinement of dark quarks interacting via a non-Abelian gauge force. Their relic abundance is determined…
