This white paper summarizes the workshop "U.S. Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter" held at University of Maryland on March 23-25, 2017.
Primordial black holes from scalar field evolution in the early universe
Eric Cotner, Alexander Kusenko
Scalar condensates with large expectation values can form in the early universe, for example, in theories with supersymmetry. The condensate can undergo fragmentation into Q-balls…
New X-ray bound on density of primordial black holes
Yoshiyuki Inoue, Alexander Kusenko
We set a new upper limit on the abundance of primordial black holes (PBH) based on existing X-ray data. PBH interactions with interstellar medium should result in significant fluxe…
Primordial Black Holes and -Process Nucleosynthesis
George M. Fuller, Alexander Kusenko, Volodymyr Takhistov
We show that some or all of the inventory of -process nucleosynthesis can be produced in interactions of primordial black holes (PBHs) with neutron stars (NSs) if PBHs with mass…
Relaxation leptogenesis, isocurvature perturbations, and the cosmic infrared background
Masahiro Kawasaki, Alexander Kusenko, Lauren Pearce +1
Observations of cosmic infrared background (CIB) radiation exhibit significant fluctuations on small angular scales. A number of explanations have been put forth, but there is curr…
