Description
Large composite states of dark fermions bound by a scalar provide a potential field under which Standard Model nuclei can accelerate to large kinetic energies, resulting in copious amounts of collisional radiation and, at the highest energies, thermonuclear fusion. In this talk, I discuss how this effect can cause white dwarfs to explode, as well as its detectability prospects at neutrino observatories like IceCube.
