Abstract
During a cosmological first-order phase transition in a dark sector, fermion dark matter particles can form macroscopic Fermi balls that collapse to primordial black holes (PBHs) under certain conditions. The evaporation of the PBHs produces a boosted flux, which may be detectable if couples to visible matter. We consider the interaction of with electrons, and calculate signals of the dark matter flux in the XENON1T, XENONnT, Super-Kamiokande and Hyper-Kamiokande experiments. A correlated gravitational wave signal from the phase transition can be observed at THEIA and Ares. An amount of dark radiation measurable by CMB-S4 is an epiphenomenon of the phase transition.
