In this paper, we introduce a novel program of fixed-target searches for thermal-origin Dark Matter (DM), which couples inelastically to the Standard Model. Since the DM only interacts by transitioning to a heavier state, freeze-out…
Current rocket technology can not send the spaceship very far, because the amount of the chemical fuel it can take is limited. We try to use dark matter (DM) as fuel to solve this problem. In this work, we give an example of DM engine using…
The crisis of both cold and collisional dark matter (DM) models is resolved by postulating flavor mixing of DM particles. Flavor-mixed particles segregate in the gravitational field to form dark halos composed of heavy mass eigenstates.…
