Nuggets, balls, and black holes: an overview of macroscopic dark matter
Abstract:
Dark matter could consist of large objects like quark nuggets, Fermi balls, or primordial black holes. I will discuss the landscape of these interesting scenarios, focusing in particular on the myriad ways we could potentially detect (or constrain) them, as well as the ways that these objects can be formed in the early universe.
The McDonald Institute seminar will be held in Stirling 501 and streamed live to the McDonald Institute YouTube channel.
