Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter Model

Explore the intriguing Axion Quark Nugget Dark Matter model in this 58-minute lecture by Ariel Zhitnitsky at the Galileo Galilei Institute. Delve into the comparison between old and new paradigms in dark matter research, and uncover the mysteries surrounding cosmic diffuse UV radiation and solar extreme UV radiation. Learn about the implications of Axion Quark Nuggets (AQNs) colliding with Earth and the proposed broadband detection strategy. Examine daily modulations in dark matter detection and gain insights into common misconceptions about dark matter formation. This comprehensive talk challenges conventional thinking and presents a novel approach to understanding the nature of dark matter in the universe.
