Assessing the Fornax globular cluster timing problem in different models of dark matter
Nitsan Bar, Diego Blas, Kfir Blum +1
We investigate what the orbits of globular clusters (GCs) in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy can teach us about dark matter (DM). This problem was recently studied for ul…
Probing the Relaxed Relaxion at the Luminosity and Precision Frontiers
Abhishek Banerjee, Hyungjin Kim, Oleksii Matsedonskyi +2
Cosmological relaxation of the electroweak scale is an attractive scenario addressing the gauge hierarchy problem. Its main actor, the relaxion, is a light spin-zero field which dy…
Searching for Earth/Solar Axion Halos
Abhishek Banerjee, Dmitry Budker, Joshua Eby +4
We discuss the sensitivity of the present and near-future axion dark matter experiments to a halo of axions or axion-like particles gravitationally bound to the Earth or the Sun. T…
Searching for a solar relaxion/scalar with XENON1T and LUX
Ranny Budnik, Oz Davidi, Hyungjin Kim +2
We consider liquid xenon dark matter detectors for searching a light scalar particle produced in the solar core, specifically one that couples to electrons. Through its interaction…
Super heavy thermal dark matter
Hyungjin Kim, Eric Kuflik
We propose a mechanism of elementary thermal dark matter with mass up to GeV, within a standard cosmological history, whose relic abundance is determined solely by its in…
Relaxion Stars and their detection via Atomic Physics
Abhishek Banerjee, Dmitry Budker, Joshua Eby +2
The cosmological relaxion can address the hierarchy problem, while its coherent oscillations can constitute dark matter in the present universe. We consider the possibility that th…
