The Clustering of Little Red Dots from Ultra-Strongly Self-Interacting Dark Matter
M. Grant Roberts, Aarna Garg, Tesla Jeltema +1
We predict the effective clustering bias parameter, , at for Little Red Dots (LRDs) seeded by Ultra-Strongly Self-Interacting Dark Matter (uSIDM). From our m…
Through the Heliospheric Lens: Directional Deflection of High-Energy Cosmic-Ray Electrons and Positrons
Stefano Profumo, Aria Koul, Anika Malladi +1
We investigate how the large-scale heliosphere alters the arrival directions of high-energy cosmic-ray electrons and positrons and ask if and when this "heliospheric lens" can be i…
Non-Thermal Production of Sexaquark Dark Matter
Marianne Moore, Stefano Profumo
Standard thermal freeze-out scenarios with QCD-scale interaction rates predict a sexaquark relic abundance many orders of magnitude below the observed dark matter density,…
The Scoured Spike: Suppression of Indirect Dark Matter Signals by a Hidden Companion
Jaden Lopez, Stefano Profumo
A massive ``dark companion'' -- such as an intermediate-mass black hole or other compact dark object -- orbiting the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center can dynamically…
On the (Im)possibility of Electrically Charged Planck Relics
Stefano Profumo
I revisit whether black-hole remnants, from sub-Planckian compact objects to Planck relics and up to (super)massive black holes, can preserve Standard-Model (SM) electric charge. T…
Beyond the Veil: Charting WIMP Territories at the Neutrino Floor
Giorgio Arcadi, Manfred Lindner, Stefano Profumo
We establish comprehensive theoretical benchmarks for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) accessible to ultimate direct detection experiments, focusing on the challenging…
