Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on resonant DM annihilations
Pieter Braat, Marco Hufnagel
We perform a systematic study of BBN constraints from photodisintegration for scenarios in which dark-matter annihilations are resonantly-enhanced. To this end, we implement and ma…

Scattering meets absorption in dark matter detection
Pieter Braat, Anh Vu Phan, Marieke Postma +1
Direct detection experiments have started to explore dark matter scattering off electrons and nucleons through light mediators. Mediators with sub-keV masses are efficiently produc…
