Description

We explore a conformal dark matter model based on the gauge group $SU(N_c)\times U(1{)}_D$, from which we can obtain confinement of bound-state dark matter at a dark QCD scale, and a WIMP and self-interacting dark matter at a higher energy scale, around $1$ TeV, along with the possibility of gravitational wave (GW) production from strong first-order phase transitions at both scales. We expect that the predicted GW spectra will have sensitivity strong enough to be probed at the frequency range windows observable with NANOGrav and LISA, respectively.
