WimPyC: an extension module of WimPyDD for the calculation of WIMP capture in celestial bodies

Sunghyun Kang, Stefano Scopel, Gaurav Tomar

We introduce WimPyC, a Python code for the calculation of the capture rate of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) by celestial bodies through nuclear scattering in the opt…

Sensitivity of WIMP bounds on the velocity distribution in the limit of a massless mediator

Koun Choi, Injun Jeong, Sunghyun Kang +2

We discuss the sensitivity of the bounds on the spin-independent (SI) and spin-dependent (SD) WIMP-proton and WIMP-neutron interaction couplings on the WIMP velo…

Low-mass constraints on WIMP effective models of inelastic scattering using the Migdal effect

Sunghyun Kang, Stefano Scopel, Gaurav Tomar

We use the Migdal effect to extend to low masses the bounds on each of the effective couplings of the non-relativistic effective field theory of a WIMP of mass and spin 1/2 t…

Halo-independent bounds on Inelastic Dark Matter

Sunghyun Kang, Arpan Kar, Stefano Scopel

We discuss halo-independent constraints on the Inelastic Dark Matter (IDM) scenario, in which a Weakly Interaction Massive Particle (WIMP) state with mass interacts with…

Halo-independent bounds on the non-relativistic effective theory of WIMP-nucleon scattering from direct detection and neutrino observations

Sunghyun Kang, Arpan Kar, Stefano Scopel

We combine experimental constraints from direct detection searches and from neutrino telescopes looking for WIMP annihilations in the Sun to derive halo-independent bounds on each…

Low-mass extension of direct detection bounds on WIMP-quark and WIMP-gluon effective interactions using the Migdal effect

Gaurav Tomar, Sunghyun Kang, Stefano Scopel

Updating a previous analysis where we used elastic nuclear recoils we study the Migdal effect to extend to low WIMP masses the direct detection bounds to operators up to dimension…
