abstract

We present models of resonant self-interacting dark matter in a dark sector with QCD, based on analogies to the meson spectra in Standard Model QCD. For dark mesons made of two light quarks, we present a simple model that realizes resonant self-interaction (analogous to the $\phi$-K-K system) and thermal freeze-out. We also consider asymmetric dark matter composed of heavy and light dark quarks to realize a resonant self-interaction (analogous to the $\Upsilon(4S)$-B-B system) and discuss the experimental probes of both setups. Finally, we comment on the possible resonant self-interactions already built into SIMP and ELDER mechanisms while making use of lattice results to determine feasibility.

  1. Pion dark matter in a $\theta$ vacuum: a thermal relic with sharp velocity-dependent self-interactions

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A QCD-like dark sector with a theta vacuum and a dark photon portal can simultaneously reproduce the dark matter relic abundance and produce the sharply velocity-dependent self-interactions inferred from small-scale s...

  2. Topological Freeze-out by Semi-Annihilation

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A dark QCD sector with gauged baryon number yields a p-wave semi-annihilation channel that can set the dark matter relic abundance for pion masses between 10 MeV and 1 TeV.
