The Role of Symmetries in Dark Matter Detector Design
Benjamin Lillard, Jack D. Shergold, Juri Smirnov
The paper shows how the symmetries of anisotropic materials can be used to estimate the daily modulation signal in sub‑GeV dark‑matter detectors, enabling fast screening of molecul…
Statistics of Daily Modulation in Dark Matter Direct Detection Experiments
Carlos Blanco, Joshua W. Foster, Yonatan Kahn +1
The time-dependent modulation of the event rate in dark matter direct detection experiments, arising from the motion of the Earth with respect to the Galactic rest frame, is a dist…
A Numerical Method for the Efficient Calculation of Scattering Form Factors
Carlos Blanco, Benjamin Lillard, Jack D. Shergold
Scintillating molecular crystals have emerged as prime candidates for directional dark matter detector targets. This anisotropy makes them exquisitely sensitive due to the daily mo…
Simplified Spin Dependence in Dark Matter Direct Detection
Pierce Giffin, Benjamin Lillard, Pankaj Munbodh +1
The interactions of dark matter with Standard Model particles can be systematically studied in the language of effective field theories. We investigate dark matter interactions wit…
Community Report from the 2025 SNOLAB Future Projects Workshop
M. D. Diamond, P. Abbamonte, A. Arvanitaki +54
SNOLAB hosts a biannual Future Projects Workshop (FPW) with the goal of encouraging future project stakeholders to present ideas, concepts, and needs for experiments or programs th…
Wavelet-Harmonic Integration Methods
Benjamin Lillard
A new integration method drastically improves the efficiency of the dark matter direct detection calculation. In this work I introduce a complete, orthogonal basis of spherical wav…
