Abstract: In this work, we propose a novel mechanism for generating gamma rays from the Galactic Center via scattering of cosmic-ray protons off dark matter in the Milky Way halo, in contrast to conventional explanations based on dark matter annihilation. We present two examples of this framework that produce an observable photon signal. In the inelastic dark matter... -

Abstract: This talk will discuss how axion domain walls can play an role in early-Universe cosmology. First, I will show that a strongly supercooled MeV–GeV first-order phase transition can reshape QCD axion cosmology: reheating flattens the axion potential, induces mini kinetic misalignment, and could potentially generate QCD axion domain walls in the pre-inflationary... -
