abstract

Standard Model extensions with a strongly coupled dark sector can induce high-multiplicity states of soft quarks. Such final states trigger extremely efficient antinucleus formation. We show that dark matter annihilation or decay into a strongly coupled sector can dramatically enhance the cosmic-ray antinuclei flux -- by six orders of magnitude in the case of ${^4\overline{\text{He}}}$. In this work, we argue that the tentative ${^3\overline{\text{He}}}$ and ${^4\overline{\text{He}}}$ events reported by the AMS-02 collaboration could be the first sign of a strongly coupled dark sector observed in nature.

  1. dSphobic Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-state dark matter model with velocity-dependent upscattering can produce a Galactic Center gamma-ray signal while suppressing dwarf galaxy signals, breaking the usual correlation between the two.

  2. Searching for dark matter annihilation in the Sun with the IceCube Upgrade

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Projected IceCube Upgrade sensitivity could set the strongest spin-dependent dark matter limits for masses from about 5 to 1700 GeV when dark matter annihilates to taus or neutrinos.
