Etching Plastic Searches for Dark Matter
Amit Bhoonah, Joseph Bramante, Brian Courtman +1
Large panels of etched plastic, situated aboard the Skylab Space Station and inside the Ohya quarry near Tokyo, have been used to set limits on fluxes of cosmogenic particles. Thes…
Nuclear Fusion Inside Dark Matter
Javier F. Acevedo, Joseph Bramante, Alan Goodman
A new dynamic is identified between dark matter and nuclei. Nuclei accelerated to MeV energies by the internal potential of composite dark matter can undergo nuclear fusion. This e…
Dark Matter, Destroyer of Worlds: Neutrino, Thermal, and Existential Signatures from Black Holes in the Sun and Earth
Javier F. Acevedo, Joseph Bramante, Alan Goodman +2
Dark matter can be captured by celestial objects and accumulate at their centers, forming a core of dark matter that can collapse to a small black hole, provided that the annihilat…
Detecting Composite Dark Matter with Long Range and Contact Interactions in Gas Clouds
Amit Bhoonah, Joseph Bramante, Sarah Schon +1
Cold interstellar gas clouds provide an exciting new method to discover dark matter. Their immense size makes them uniquely sensitive to interactions from the heaviest, most rarefi…
Gravitational Waves From Dark Sectors, Oscillating Inflatons, and Mass Boosted Dark Matter
Amit Bhoonah, Joseph Bramante, Simran Nerval +1
Gravitational waves signatures from dynamical scalar field configurations provide a compelling observational window on the early universe. Here we identify intriguing connections b…
Electric But Not Eclectic: Thermal Relic Dark Matter for the XENON1T Excess
Joseph Bramante, Ningqiang Song
The identity of dark matter is being sought with increasingly sensitive and voluminous underground detectors. Recently the XENON1T collaboration reported excess electronic recoil e…
