Telescope array (TA) experiment has recorded [1, 2] several short time bursts of air shower like events. These bursts are very distinct from conventional cosmic ray single showers, and are found to be strongly correlated with lightnings. We propose that these bursts represent the direct manifestation of the dark matter annihilation events within the so-called axion quark nugget (AQN) model, which was originally invented for completely different purpose to explain the observed similarity between the dark and the visible components in the Universe, i.e. ΩDM ∼ Ωvisible without any fitting parameters. We support this proposal by demonstrating that the observations [1, 2], including the frequency of appearance, temporal and spatial distributions, intensity, and other related observables are nicely match the emission features of the AQNs propagating in the atmosphere under thunderstorm. We propose to test these ideas by reanalyzing the existing data by increasing the cutoff time scale Δt = 1 ms for the bursts. We also suggest to test this proposal by analyzing the correlations with proper infrasound and seismic instruments. We also suggest to search for the radio signal with frequency ν ∈ (3–300) MHz which must be synchronized with bursts.

望远镜阵列和轴子夸克金块观测到的神秘爆发

望远镜阵列 (TA) 实验记录了 [1, 2] 几次短时间爆发的类似空气淋浴的事件。这些爆发与传统的宇宙射线单阵雨非常不同,并且被发现与闪电密切相关。我们认为这些爆发代表了所谓轴子夸克金块 (AQN) 模型中暗物质湮灭事件的直接表现,该模型最初是为了完全不同的目的而发明的,以解释观察到的暗成分和可见成分之间的相似性。宇宙,即Ω DM ∼ Ω可见没有任何拟合参数。我们通过证明观测结果 [1, 2](包括出现频率、时空分布、强度和其他相关观测值)与雷暴下在大气中传播的 AQN 的发射特征很好地匹配来支持这一提议。我们建议通过增加突发的截止时间尺度 Δ t = 1 ms 来重新分析现有数据来测试这些想法。我们还建议通过分析与适当的次声和地震仪器的相关性来测试该建议。我们还建议搜索频率为ν ∈ (3–300) MHz 且必须与突发同步的无线电信号。
