We study the properties and phenomenology of particle-like states originating from D-branes whose spatial dimensions are all compactified. They are non-perturbative states in string theory and we refer to them as D-matter. In contrast to other non-perturbative objects such as 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles, D-matter states could have perturbative couplings among themselves and with ordinary matter. The lightest D-particle (LDP) could be stable because it is the lightest state carrying certain (integer or discrete) quantum numbers. Depending on the string scale, they could be cold dark matter candidates with properties similar to that of wimps or wimpzillas. The spectrum of excited states of D-matter exhibits an interesting pattern which could be distinguished from that of Kaluza-Klein modes, winding states, and string resonances. We speculate about possible signatures of D-matter from ultra-high energy cosmic rays and colliders.

  1. Dark Monopoles, Bounds on Hidden Sectors, and Cosmological Implications

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Hidden-sector magnetic monopoles with symmetry-breaking scales above roughly 100 PeV over-close the Universe unless diluted by inflation or an early matter-dominated phase.

  2. Magnetic Monopoles -- From Dirac to the Large Hadron Collider

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted

    Magnetic monopoles are theoretically well-motivated but remain unobserved after extensive searches in cosmic rays and at particle colliders such as the LHC.
