DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.100.103015
Abstract: A number of dark matter candidates have been discussed that are macroscopic, of approximately nuclear density, and scatter ordinary matter essentially elastically with approximately their geometric cross-section. A wide range of mass and geometric cross-section… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.100.123008
Abstract: Macroscopic dark matter (macros) are a broad class of alternative candidates to particle dark matter. These candidates would transfer energy primarily through elastic scattering, and this linear energy deposition would produce observable signals if a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.101.083503
Abstract: Macroscopic dark matter -- "macros"-- refers to a broad class of alternative candidates to particle dark matter with still unprobed regions of parameter space. These candidates would transfer energy primarily through elastic scattering with approximately… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.95.063006
Abstract: Using lunar seismological data, constraints have been proposed on the available parameter space of macroscopic dark matter (macros). We show that actual limits are considerably weaker by considering in greater detail the mechanism through which… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos12091230
Abstract: A recent study pointed out that macroscopic dark matter (macros) traversing through the Earth’s atmosphere can give rise to hot and ionized channels similar to those associated with lightning leaders. The authors of the study… read more here.
