The Role of Symmetries in Dark Matter Detector Design
Benjamin Lillard, Jack D. Shergold, Juri Smirnov
Anisotropic materials have emerged as promising candidates for the next generation of sub-GeV dark matter direct detection experiments, because their intrinsic directionality gives…
Statistics of Daily Modulation in Dark Matter Direct Detection Experiments
Carlos Blanco, Joshua W. Foster, Yonatan Kahn +1
The time-dependent modulation of the event rate in dark matter direct detection experiments, arising from the motion of the Earth with respect to the Galactic rest frame, is a dist…
A Numerical Method for the Efficient Calculation of Scattering Form Factors
Carlos Blanco, Benjamin Lillard, Jack D. Shergold
Scintillating molecular crystals have emerged as prime candidates for directional dark matter detector targets. This anisotropy makes them exquisitely sensitive due to the daily mo…
Simplified Spin Dependence in Dark Matter Direct Detection
Pierce Giffin, Benjamin Lillard, Pankaj Munbodh +1
The interactions of dark matter with Standard Model particles can be systematically studied in the language of effective field theories. We investigate dark matter interactions wit…
Vector Spaces for Dark Matter (VSDM): Fast Direct Detection Calculations with Python and Julia
Benjamin Lillard, Aria Radick
Anisotropic target materials are promising candidates for dark matter direct detection experiments, providing a directional sensitivity that can be used to distinguish a dark matte…
Extracting Halo Independent Information from Dark Matter Electron Scattering Data
Elias Bernreuther, Patrick J. Fox, Benjamin Lillard +2
Direct detection experiments and the interpretation of their results are sensitive to the velocity structure of the dark matter in our galactic halo. In this work, we extend the fo…
