obscura: A modular C++ tool and library for the direct detection of (sub-GeV) dark matter via nuclear and electron recoils
Timon Emken
For the interpretation of past and future direct searches for dark matter (DM) particles, it is important to be able to provide accurate predictions for event rates and spectra und…
The ups and downs of inelastic dark matter: Electron recoils from terrestrial upscattering
Timon Emken, Jonas Frerick, Saniya Heeba +1
The growing interest in the interactions between dark matter particles and electrons has received a further boost by the observation of an excess in electron recoil events in the X…
Crystal responses to general dark matter-electron interactions
Riccardo Catena, Timon Emken, Marek Matas +2
We develop a formalism to describe the scattering of dark matter (DM) particles by electrons bound in crystals for a general form of the underlying DM-electron interaction. Such a…
Solar reflection of light dark matter with heavy mediators
Timon Emken
The direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter particles is hampered by their low energy deposits. If the maximum deposit allowed by kinematics falls below the energy threshold of a d…
