Telescope array (TA) experiment has recorded Abbasi et al. (Phys Lett A 381(32):2565-2572, 10.1016/j.physleta.2017.06.022, 2017), Okuda (J Phys Conf Ser 1181:012067, 10.1088/1742-6596/1181/1/012067, 2019) several short time bursts of air shower like events. These bursts are very distinct from conventional single showers, and are found to be strongly correlated with lightnings. In our previous work Zhitnitsky (J Phys G 48(6):065201, 10.1088/1361-6471/abd457, arXiv:2008.04325 [hep-ph], 2021) we proposed that these bursts represent the direct manifestation of the dark matter (DM) annihilation events within the so-called axion quark nugget (AQN) model. In the present work we suggest to test this proposal to search for the radio signals in frequency band (0.5-200) MHz which must be synchronized with the TA bursts. We argued that the conventional lightning-induced radio emission can be easily discriminated from the AQN-induced radio pulses discussed in this work.
望远镜阵列(TA)实验记录了阿巴西等人(《物理快报A》381(32):2565 - 2572,10.1016/j.physleta.2017.06.022,2017年)、奥库达(《物理学报会议系列》1181:012067,10.1088/1742 - 6596/1181/1/012067,2019年)所观测到的几次类似空气簇射事件的短时间爆发。这些爆发与传统的单个簇射有很大不同,并且发现与闪电密切相关。在我们之前的工作中,日特尼茨基(《物理学报G》48(6):065201,10.1088/1361 - 6471/abd457,arXiv:2008.04325 [hep - ph],2021年)提出这些爆发代表了在所谓的轴子夸克 nugget(AQN)模型内暗物质(DM)湮灭事件的直接表现。在本工作中,我们建议测试这一设想,以搜索频率范围为(0.5 - 200)MHz且必须与TA爆发同步的无线电信号。我们认为,传统的闪电诱导无线电发射可以很容易地与本工作中讨论的AQN诱导无线电脉冲区分开来。
