Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2026 Proceedings
Alexey Elykov, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +81
The fourth "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM'26) meeting was held April 14-17, 2026 in Karlsruhe, Germany, hosted by the Institute for Astroparticle Physics (…
Time evolution of scalar condensate decay
Ayuki Kamada, Kodai Sakurai
A scalar field, which oscillates coherently over the space and decays through production of daughter particles, plays an important role in cosmology. It was recently shown that the…
Generalized Glauber theorem for dark-matter axion and graviton detection
Jakub Bręczewski, Ayuki Kamada, Akira Miyazaki
We revisit the generalized Glauber theorem motivated by recent applications to dark-matter axion searches and graviton production. For Hamiltonian containing up to quadratic terms…
Decay of a scalar condensate in two different approaches
Ayuki Kamada, Kodai Sakurai
Decay of a scalar condensate via interactions with (quasi-)particles is of interest to many fields in physics, including cosmology. In cosmology, the decay of an inflaton condensat…

Shigenobu Hirose, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +70
The third ``Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter'' (MDDM'25) meeting was held May 20-23, 2025 in Yokohama, Japan, hosted by the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences,…
Revisiting Q-ball Interactions with Matters
Ayuki Kamada, Takumi Kuwahara, Keiichi Watanabe
Q-ball dark matter is one of the candidates for the macroscopic dark matter: Q-ball is a non-topological solitonic configuration, whose stability can be ensured by global charge an…
Composite asymmetric dark matter with a dark photon portal: Multimessenger tests
Saikat Das, Ayuki Kamada, Takumi Kuwahara +2
Composite asymmetric dark matter (ADM) is the framework that naturally explains the coincidence of the baryon density and the dark matter density of the Universe. Through a portal…
Mediator Decay through mixing with Degenerate Spectrum
Ayuki Kamada, Takumi Kuwahara, Shigeki Matsumoto +2
The decay of the mediator particle into standard model (SM) particles plays a significant role in exploring the dark sector scenario. We consider such a decay, taking the dark phot…
Modeling the core-halo mass relation in fuzzy dark matter halos
Hiroki Kawai, Ayuki Kamada, Kohei Kamada +1
Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is an intriguing candidate alternative to the standard cold dark matter (CDM). The FDM model predicts that dark halos have characteristic core structures ge…
Evolution of Resonant Self-interacting Dark Matter Halos
Ayuki Kamada, Hee Jung Kim
Recent analysis on the stellar kinematics of ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies has put a stringent upper limit on the self-scattering cross section of dark matter, i.e., $σ/m<{\cal…
Quantum Theory of Dark Matter Scattering
Ayuki Kamada, Takumi Kuwahara, Ami Patel
Dark matter self-scattering is one of key ingredients for small-scale structure of the Universe, while dark matter annihilation is important for the indirect measurements. There is…
Perturbative Unitarity of Strongly Interacting Massive Particle Models
Ayuki Kamada, Shin Kobayashi, Takumi Kuwahara
Dark pion is a promising candidate for the strongly interacting massive particle dark matter. A large pion self-coupling tends to be required for correct relic abundance,…
LHC Lifetime Frontier and Visible Decay Searches in Composite Asymmetric Dark Matter Models
Ayuki Kamada, Takumi Kuwahara
The LHC lifetime frontier will probe dark sector in near future, and the visible decay searches at fixed-target experiments have been exploring dark sector. Composite asymmetric da…
Manifesting hidden dynamics of a sub-component dark matter
Ayuki Kamada, Hee Jung Kim, Jong-Chul Park +1
We emphasize the distinctive cosmological dynamics in multi-component dark matter scenarios and its impact in probing a sub-dominant component of dark matter. We find that the ther…
Maximally self-interacting dark matter: models and predictions

We study self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) scenarios, where the -wave self-scattering cross section almost saturates the Unitarity bound. Such self-scattering cross sections a…
Strongly-interacting massive particle and dark photon in the era of intensity frontier
Ayuki Kamada, Masaki Yamada, Tsutomu T. Yanagida
A strongly interacting massive particle (SIMP) is an interesting candidate for dark matter (DM) because its self-interaction cross section can be naturally strong enough to address…
Escalating core formation with dark matter self-heating
Ayuki Kamada, Hee Jung Kim
Exothermic scatterings of dark matter (DM) produce DM particles with significant kick velocities inside DM halos. In collaboration with DM self-interaction, the excess kinetic ener…
