A Search for Magnetized Quark Nuggets (MQNs), a Candidate for Dark Matter, Accumulating in Iron Ore

J. Pace VanDevender, T. Sloan, Michael Glissman

A search has been carried out for Magnetized Quark Nuggets (MQNs) accumulating in iron ore over geologic time. MQNs, which are theoretically consistent with the Standard Models of…

Magnetised quark nuggets in the atmosphere

T. Sloan, J. Pace VanDevender, Tracianne B. Neilsen +5

A search for magnetised quark nuggets (MQN) is reported using acoustic signals from hydrophones placed in the Great Salt Lake (GSL) in the USA. No events satisfying the expected si…

Limits on Magnetized Quark-Nugget Dark Matter from Episodic Natural Events

J. Pace VanDevender, Aaron P. VanDevender, Peter Wilson +2

A quark nugget is a hypothetical dark-matter candidate composed of approximately equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks. Most models of quark nuggets do not include effects…

Results of search for magnetized quark-nugget dark matter from radial impacts on Earth

J. Pace VanDevender, Robert G. Schmitt, Niall McGinley +7

Magnetized Quark Nuggets (MQNs) are a recently proposed dark-matter candidate consistent with the Standard Model and with Tatsumi's theory of quark-nugget cores in magnetars. Previ…

Radio frequency emissions from dark-matter-candidate magnetized quark nuggets interacting with matter

J. Pace VanDevender, C. Jerald Buchenauer, Chunpei Cai +2

Quark nuggets are theoretical objects composed of approximately equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks. They are also called strangelets, nuclearites, AQNs, slets, Macros, a…

Mass distribution of magnetized quark-nugget dark matter and comparison with observations

J. Pace VanDevender, Ian Shoemaker, T. Sloan +2

Quark nuggets are a candidate for dark matter consistent with the Standard Model. Previous models of quark nuggets have investigated properties arising from their being composed of…
