DOI: 10.1088/1475-7516/2023/04/028
Abstract: If dark matter is millicharged or darkly charged, collective plasma processes may dominate momentum exchange over direct particle collisions. In particular, plasma streaming instabilities can couple the momentum of the dark matter to counter-streaming baryons… read more here.
