New experimental constraints in a new landscape for composite dark matter

CV Cappiello, JI Collar, JF Beacom - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Certain strongly interacting dark matter candidates could have evaded detection, and much
work has been done on constraining their parameter space. Recently, it was shown …

Macroscopic dark matter constraints from bolide camera networks

JS Sidhu, G Starkman - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
Macroscopic dark matter (macros) are a broad class of alternative candidates to particle dark
matter. These candidates would transfer energy primarily through elastic scattering, and this …

Stellar shocks from dark matter asteroid impacts

A Das, SAR Ellis, PC Schuster, K Zhou - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Macroscopic dark matter is almost unconstrained over a wide “asteroidlike” mass range,
where it could scatter on baryonic matter with geometric cross section. We show that when …

ANITA anomalous events and axion quark nuggets

X Liang, A Zhitnitsky - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The Antarctic Impulse Transient Antenna (ANITA) Collaboration has reported two
anomalous events with noninverted polarity. These events are hard to explain in terms of …

Death and serious injury from dark matter

JS Sidhu, R Scherrer, G Starkman - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
Macroscopic dark matter (macros) refers to a class of dark matter candidates that scatter
elastically off of ordinary matter with a large geometric cross-section. A wide range of macro …

Abstract The Tracking Ultraviolet Setup (TUS) was the first orbital detector aimed to check
the possibility of recording ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) at E≳ 100 EeV by …

Reconsidering astrophysical constraints on macroscopic dark matter

JS Sidhu, GD Starkman - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Macroscopic dark matter—“macros”—refers to a broad class of alternative candidates to
particle dark matter with still unprobed regions of parameter space. These candidates would …

Prospects for macroscopic dark matter detection at space-based and suborbital experiments

LA Anchordoqui, ME Bertaina, M Casolino… - Europhysics …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We compare two different formalisms for modeling the energy deposition of macroscopically
sized/massive quark nuggets (also known as macros) in the Earth's atmosphere. We show …
