abstract

We advocate an idea that the Axion Quark Nuggets (AQN) hitting the Earth can be detected by analysing the infrasound, acoustic and seismic waves which always accompany the AQN's passage in the atmosphere and underground. Our estimates for the infrasonic frequency $\nu\simeq 5$ ~Hz and overpressure $\delta p\sim 0.3 ~$Pa for relatively large size dark matter (DM) nuggets suggest that sensitivity of presently available instruments is already sufficient to detect very intense (but very rare) events today with existing technology. A study of much more frequent but less intense events requires a new type of instruments. We propose a detection strategy for a systematic study to search for such relatively weak and frequent events by using Distributed Acoustic Sensing and briefly mention other possible detection methods.

  1. Unidentified falling objects in the LHC as dark matter signals

    hep-ph 2026-02 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new mechanism linking LHC UFOs to axion quark nugget dark matter is proposed, predicting detectable correlated UFO bursts.

  2. Ball Lightning as a profound manifestation of the Dark Matter physics

    hep-ph 2025-02 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Ball lightning is identified with spallation fragments (secondary axion quark nuggets) of antimatter dark matter, whose annihilation with air yields the observed energy, size, lifetime, and event rate.
