Neutrino portals to MeV WIMPs with s-channel mediators
Nicole F. Bell, Matthew J. Dolan, Avirup Ghosh +1
Large-scale neutrino detectors currently under construction will have the unique ability to probe the annihilation of low-mass thermal-relic dark matter to neutrinos. This represen…

Heavy Dark Matter in White Dwarfs: Multiple-Scattering Capture and Thermalization
Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni, Sandra Robles +1
We present an improved treatment for the scattering of heavy dark matter from the ion constituents of a white dwarf. In the heavy dark matter regime, multiple collisions are requir…

Improved Treatment of Dark Matter Capture in Neutron Stars III: Nucleon and Exotic Targets
Filippo Anzuini, Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni +4
We consider the capture of dark matter (DM) in neutron stars via scattering on hadronic targets, including neutrons, protons and hyperons. We extend previous analyses by including…
