Simulating Atomic Dark Matter in Milky Way Analogs

S Roy, X Shen, M Lisanti, D Curtin… - The Astrophysical …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Dark sector theories naturally lead to multicomponent scenarios for dark matter where a
subcomponent can dissipate energy through self-interactions, allowing it to efficiently cool …

Dark matter or regular matter in neutron stars? How to tell the difference from the coalescence of compact objects

M Hippert, E Dillingham, H Tan, D Curtin… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The mirror twin Higgs model is a candidate for (strongly-interacting) complex dark matter,
which mirrors SM interactions with heavier quark masses. A consequence of this model are …
