Abstract: This talk presents a unified view of glueball dark matter and related composite states in confining dark Yang–Mills sectors. I first review lattice-informed effective descriptions of dark confinement and chiral dynamics, and show how the resulting phase transitions can generate potentially observable gravitational-wave signals, especially in fermionic and near-conformal regimes. I then discuss the non-perturbative thermal evolution of the dark gluon–glueball system, which leads to a controlled prediction for the relic abundance of scalar glueball dark matter. Building on this framework, I introduce composite glueball axion-like particles generated by a θ term and heavy fermion portals, yielding novel visible-sector couplings. Finally, I present recent progress on direct detection, where UV portal operators are matched to non-perturbative glueball amplitudes through a tensor-Pomeron-inspired EFT, opening a quantitative route to recoil searches and collider-consistent light-portal scenarios. Overall, this framework provides a coherent link between dark confinement, cosmological evolution, and experimental probes of strongly coupled dark sectors.

Biography: Dr. Zhi-Wei Wang is currently a Research Professor at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), where he serves as Director of the Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics (SPIN). He has been selected for the Sichuan Emei Program, the Chengdu Rongpiao Program, and the UESTC Hundred Talents Program. Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, during 2012 to 2016. In 2017, he was awarded the Governor General’s Academic Gold Medal, the highest national honor in Canada for doctoral academic achievement. He also received the University of Saskatchewan’s award for the best Ph.D. dissertation and the Ishwar Gupta Award in Physics. After completing his Ph.D., he worked as a joint postdoctoral researcher at the University of Waterloo and the CP3-Origins Institute in Denmark from 2016 to 2019. From 2019 to 2021, he served as a postdoctoral researcher at CP3-Origins, and from 2021 to 2022, he was a researcher and senior postdoctoral fellow at Lund University in Sweden.
Dr. Wang works in high-energy theoretical physics, with research focusing on strongly coupled dynamics and the breakdown of perturbation theory in particle physics and the early Universe. He is devoted to developing non-perturbative methods and establishing testable theoretical predictions. He has made a series of contributions in strongly coupled dark matter, phase-transition gravitational waves, multi-messenger probe frameworks, asymptotic safety, and higher-order resummation techniques. To date, he has completed 44 research papers, including 34 published in leading international journals. These include five papers in Physical Review Letters and one highly cited paper, all as a corresponding or leading author. One of his PRL papers was selected as an Editors’ Suggestion, six of his papers have each received more than 50 citations, and one has received more than 100 citations.
