EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Rescuing overabundant dark matter with a strongly first order phase transition in the dark sector

Peisi Huang, Anibal D. Medina, and Carlos E. M. Wagner

Phys. Rev. D 114, 055004 (2026) - Published 4 September, 2026

This paper studies dark matter in a spontaneously broken hidden U(1). The initial overabundant dark matter density is generated through the freeze-out mechanism. Because the subsequent first order phase transition becomes supercooled, the vacuum transition generates entropy, diluting the DM density to its current value. The MeV–GeV transition also produces nano-Hz gravitational waves potentially detectable by pulsar timing arrays such as NANOGrav.
