Electronic structure of liquid xenon in the context of light dark matter direct detection
Riccardo Catena, Luca Marin, Marek Matas +2
We present a description of the electronic structure of xenon within the density-functional theory formalism with the goal of accurately modeling dark-matter-induced ionisation in…
Dark Matter-induced electron excitations in silicon and germanium with Deep Learning
Riccardo Catena, Einar Urdshals
We train a deep neural network (DNN) to output rates of dark matter (DM) induced electron excitations in silicon and germanium detectors. Our DNN provides a massive speedup of arou…
Direct searches for general dark matter-electron interactions with graphene detectors: Part II. Sensitivity studies
Riccardo Catena, Timon Emken, Marek Matas +2
We use a formalism that describes electron ejections from graphene-like targets by dark matter (DM) scattering for general forms of scalar and spin 1/2 DM-electron interactions in…
Direct searches for general dark matter-electron interactions with graphene detectors: Part I. Electronic structure calculations
Riccardo Catena, Timon Emken, Marek Matas +2
We develop a formalism to describe electron ejections from graphene-like targets by dark matter (DM) scattering for general forms of scalar and spin 1/2 DM-electron interactions an…
On dark atoms, massive dark photons and millicharged sub-components
Felix Kahlhoefer, Einar Urdshals
We present a simple model of two dark matter species with opposite millicharge that can form electrically neutral bound states via the exchange of a massive dark photon. If bound s…
