It is shown that if there are two distinct phase transition temperatures to the hadronic phase ( as is currently favoured), then QCD demands a condensation to a weakly interacting massive glueball. This glueball then becomes a natural…

Caustics are a generic feature of the nonlinear growth of structure in the dark matter distribution. If the dark matter were absolutely cold, its mass density would diverge at caustics, and the integrated annihilation probability would also…
