A bstract We study nonthermal production of heavy dark matter from the dynamics of the
background scalar field during a first-order phase transition, predominantly from bubble …

Next-generation dark matter (DM) detectors searching for weakly interacting massive
particles (WIMPs) will be sensitive to coherent scattering from solar neutrinos, demanding an …

A bstract We point out that SO (2N) pure Yang-Mills theory provides a candidate for dark
matter (DM) without the explicit need to impose any additional symmetry. The DM candidate …

A bstract We study confining dark sectors where the lightest hadrons are glueballs. Such
models can provide viable dark matter candidates and appear in some neutral naturalness …

We discuss the formation of cosmic strings or macroscopic color flux tubes at the phase
transition from the deconfinement to confinement phase in pure Yang–Mills (YM) theory …

We revisit the possibility that dark matter is composed of stable scalar glueballs of a
confining dark SU (3) gauge theory coupled only to gravity. The relic abundance of dark …

We delve deeper into the potential composition of dark matter as stable scalar glueballs from
a confining dark SU (N) gauge theory, focusing on N={3, 4, 5}. To predict the relic …

We explore the impact of highly excited bound states on the evolution of number densities of
new physics particles, specifically dark matter, in the early Universe. Focusing on dipole …

We discuss the formation of cosmic strings or macroscopic color flux tubes after the
deconfinement/confinement phase transition in the pure Yang–Mills theory. Based on …

Confinement in SU (N DC) Yang-Mills theories is known to proceed through first-order
phase transition. The wall velocity is bounded by vw≲ 10-6 due to the needed time for the …
