Pulsar kicks from neutrino oscillations
Alexander Kusenko
Neutrino oscillations in a core-collapse supernova may be responsible for the observed rapid motions of pulsars. Given the present bounds on the neutrino masses, the pulsar kicks r…
Supersymmetric dark-matter Q-balls and their interactions in matter
Alexander Kusenko, Lee Loveridge, Mikhail Shaposhnikov
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model contain non-topological solitons, Q-balls, which can be stable and can be a form of cosmological dark matter. Understanding the inte…
Possible astrophysical clues of dark matter
Alexander Kusenko
The physics of the supernova may provide a clue of the cosmological dark matter. In the absence of new physics, the supernova calculations do not explain the observed velocities of…
Pulsar kicks and dark matter from a sterile neutrino
Alexander Kusenko
The observed velocities of radio pulsars, which range in the hundreds kilometers per second, and many of which exceed 1000 km/s, are not explained by the standard physics of the su…
