A Holographic Perspective on the Axion Quality Problem
Peter Cox, Tony Gherghetta, Minh D. Nguyen
The axion provides a compelling solution to the strong CP problem as well as a candidate for the dark matter of the universe. However, the axion solution relies on the spontaneous…
Multiphonon excitations from dark matter scattering in crystals
Brian Campbell-Deem, Peter Cox, Simon Knapen +2
For direct detection of sub-MeV dark matter, a promising strategy is to search for individual phonon excitations in a crystal. We perform an analytic calculation of the rate for li…
The Dark Matter Phonon Coupling
Peter Cox, Tom Melia, Surjeet Rajendran
Generically, the effective coupling between the dark matter and an atom scales with the number of constituents in the atom, resulting in the effective coupling being proportional t…
