Gravitationally trapped axions on Earth

Kyle Lawson, Xunyu Liang, Alexander Mead +3

We advocate for the idea that there is a fundamentally new mechanism for axion production on Earth, as recently suggested in Fischer et al. (2018) and Liang & Zhitnitsky (2018). We…

The Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model: Size Distribution and Survival Pattern

Shuailiang Ge, Kyle Lawson, Ariel Zhitnitsky

We consider the formation and evolution of Axion Quark Nugget dark matter particles in the early universe. The goal of this work is to estimate the mass distribution of these objec…

The 21cm Absorption Line and Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model

K. Lawson, A. R. Zhitnitsky

We argue that dark matter in the form of macroscopically large nuggets of standard model quarks and antiquarks can help to alleviate the tension between standard model cosmology an…

511 keV Line Emission from Nearby Spherical Dwarf Galaxies

Kyle Lawson, Ariel Zhitnitsky

The observed galactic 511 keV line has been interpreted in a number of papers as a possible signal of dark matter annihilation within the galactic bulge. If this is the case then w…

Quark Nugget Dark Matter: Comparison with radio observations of nearby galaxies

K. Lawson, A. R. Zhitnitsky

It has been recently claimed that radio observations of nearby spiral galaxies essentially rule out a dark matter source for the galactic haze. Here we consider the low energy ther…

Quark Nugget Dark Matter: No contradictions with neutrino flux constraints

Kyle Lawson, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky

It has recently been claimed that dark matter in form of quark nuggets cannot account for more than 20% of the dark matter density. This claim is based on constraints on the neutri…
