Title: Gravitational waves from SU( N ) glueball dark matter

Abstract

Here, a hidden sector with pure non-abelian gauge symmetry is an elegant and just about the simplest model of dark matter. In this model the dark matter candidate is the lightest bound state made of the confined gauge fields, the dark glueball. In spite of its simplicity, the model has been shown to have several interesting non-standard implications in cosmology. In this work, we explore the gravitational waves from binary boson stars made of self-gravitating dark glueball fields as a natural and important consequence. We derive the dark SU(N) star mass and radius as functions of the only two fundamental parameters in the model, the glueball mass m and the number of colors N, and identify the regions that could be probed by the LIGO and future gravitational wave observatories.

Hidden $SU (N)$ glueball dark matter

Journal Article Soni, Amarjit ; Zhang, Yue - Physical Review D

We investigate the possibility that the dark matter candidate is from a pure non-Abelian gauge theory of the hidden sector, motivated in large part by its elegance and simplicity. The dark matter is the lightest bound state made of the confined gauge fields, the hidden glueball. We point out that this simple setup is capable of providing rich and novel phenomena in the dark sector, especially in the parameter space of large N. They include self-interacting and warm dark matter scenarios, Bose-Einstein condensation leading to massive dark stars possibly millions of times heavier than our sun giving rise to gravitationalmore »« less

Cosmic selection rule for the glueball dark matter relic density

Journal Article Soni, Amarjit ; Xiao, Huangyu ; Zhang, Yue - Physical Review D

Here, we point out a unique mechanism to produce the relic abundance for the glueball dark matter from a gauged SU(N)_d hidden sector which is bridged to the standard model sector through heavy vectorlike quarks colored under gauge interactions from both sides. A necessary ingredient of our assumption is that the vectorlike quarks, produced either thermally or nonthermally, are abundant enough to dominate the universe for some time in the early universe. They later undergo dark color confinement and form unstable vectorlike-quarkonium states which annihilate decay and reheat the visible and dark sectors.

WIMPless dark matter from non-Abelian hidden sectors with anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking

Journal Article Feng, Jonathan L ; Shadmi, Yael - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking models, superpartner masses are proportional to couplings squared. Their hidden sectors therefore naturally contain WIMPless dark matter, particles whose thermal relic abundance is guaranteed to be of the correct size, even though they are not weakly interacting massive particles. We study viable dark matter candidates in WIMPless anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking models with non-Abelian hidden sectors and highlight unusual possibilities that emerge in even the simplest models. In one example with a pure SU(N) hidden sector, stable hidden gluinos freeze out with the correct relic density, but have an extremely low, but natural, confinement scale, providing amore »« less

Gravitational waves from primordial black holes and new weak scale phenomena

Journal Article Davoudiasl, Hooman ; Giardino, Pier Paolo - Physics Letters B

Here, we entertain the possibility that primordial black holes of mass ~ (10²⁶–10²⁹)g, with Schwarzschild radii of O(cm), constitute ~ 10% or more of cosmic dark matter, as allowed by various constraints. These black holes would typically originate from cosmological eras corresponding to temperatures O(10-100)GeV, and may be associated with first order phase transitions in the visible or hidden sectors. In case these small primordial black holes get captured in orbits around neutron stars or astrophysical black holes in our galactic neighborhood, gravitational waves from the resulting “David and Goliath (D&G)” binaries could be detectable at Advanced LIGO or Advancedmore »« less

Dark matter, dark radiation and gravitational waves from mirror Higgs parity

Journal Article Dunsky, David ; Hall, Lawrence J. ; Harigaya, Keisuke - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

An exact parity replicates the Standard Model giving a Mirror Standard Model, SM ↔ SM^'. This “Higgs Parity” and the mirror electroweak symmetry are spontaneously broken by the mirror Higgs, (H^') = v^' >> (H), yielding the Standard Model Higgs as a Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone Boson of an approximate SU (4) symmetry, with a quartic coupling λ_SM(v^') ~ 10^-3. Mirror electromagnetism is unbroken and dark matter is composed of e^' and $ {\overline{e}}^{\prime } $. Direct detection may be possible via the kinetic mixing portal, and in unified theories this rate is correlated with the proton decay rate. With a high reheatmore »« less
