Astrophysical signatures of asymmetric dark matter bound states

Astrophysical signatures of asymmetric dark matter bound states

Nuggets---very large stable bound objects arising in the presence of a sufficiently attractive and long-range force and in the absence of a dark Coulomb force---are a smoking gun signature for asymmetric dark matter (ADM). The cosmology of ADM nuggets is both generic and unique: nuggets feature highly exothermic fusion processes, …
