Evolving Dark Energy Is Vacuum Energy After All
Dong Ha Lee, Carsten van de Bruck, Eleonora Di Valentino +2
We investigate a physically motivated model of dynamical dark energy arising from the non-perturbative topological structure of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum. The model i…
Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter: Time Modulations and Amplifications
Xunyu Liang, Alexander Mead, Md Shahriar Rahim Siddiqui +2
We study the new mechanism of the axion production suggested recently in [1,2]. This mechanism is based on the so-called Axion Quark Nugget (AQN) dark matter model, which was origi…
Gravitationally trapped axions on Earth
Kyle Lawson, Xunyu Liang, Alexander Mead +3
We advocate for the idea that there is a fundamentally new mechanism for axion production on Earth, as recently suggested in Fischer et al. (2018) and Liang & Zhitnitsky (2018). We…
Fast Radio Bursts and the Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model
Ludovic van Waerbeke, Ariel Zhitnitsky
We explore the possibility that the Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are powered by magnetic reconnection in magnetars, triggered by Axion Quark Nugget (AQN) dark matter. In this model, th…
511 keV Line Emission from Nearby Spherical Dwarf Galaxies
Kyle Lawson, Ariel Zhitnitsky
The observed galactic 511 keV line has been interpreted in a number of papers as a possible signal of dark matter annihilation within the galactic bulge. If this is the case then w…
The Parity Odd Universe, Dark Energy and QCD
Federico R. Urban, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
Cosmological observations on the largest scales exhibit a solid record of unexpected anomalies and alignments, apparently pointing towards a large scale violation of statistical is…
