abstract

Dark Matter might be an accidentally stable baryon of a new confining gauge interaction. We extend previous studies exploring the possibility that the DM is made of dark quarks heavier than the dark confinement scale. The resulting phenomenology contains new unusual elements: a two-stage DM cosmology (freeze-out followed by dark condensation), a large DM annihilation cross section through recombination of dark quarks (allowing to fit the positron excess). Light dark glue-balls are relatively long lived and give extra cosmological effects; DM itself can remain radioactive.

Decaying spin-3/2 dark matter from baryon number violation

hep-ph · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Non-supersymmetric spin-3/2 dark matter with baryon-violating portals can explain the relic abundance through UV and Boltzmann-suppressed freeze-in, with viable parameter space constrained by indirect detection, direct detection, and LHC monojet searches.

    Recast LHC searches yield a ~1.2 TeV lower bound on long-lived charged dark mesons and show that anomaly-driven diboson resonances can reconstruct UV parameters like dark flavor and color numbers from IR measurements.
