Direct Detection of Solar Neutrinos to Probe Tensions and Break Degeneracies in Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiments
Dorian W. P. Amaral, David Cerdeño, Andrew Cheek +3
Long-baseline (LBL) accelerator experiments are sensitive not only to the standard neutrino oscillation parameters but also to new physics. Currently, there exists a tension betwee…
: Solar Neutrinos for Direct Detection
Dorian W. P. Amaral, David Cerdeño, Andrew Cheek +2
We introduce Solar Neutrinos for Direct Detection (): an open-source Python package that enables the computation of the solar neutrino rate spectrum at direct detec…
Using to constrain preferred axion model dark matter
Andrew Cheek, Ui Min
Preferred axion models are minimal realizations of the Peccei-Quinn solution to the strong CP problem while providing a dark matter candidate. These models invoke new heavy quarks…
Gemini Dark Matter
Andrew Cheek, Yu-Cheng Qiu, Liang Tan
The tension in the large scale structure can be explained by decaying dark matter with an almost degenerate spectrum and small enough decay width. Here we propose the Gem…
Extending preferred axion models via heavy-quark induced early matter domination
Andrew Cheek, Jacek K. Osiński, Leszek Roszkowski
We examine the cosmological consequences of the heavy quarks in KSVZ-type axion models. We find that their presence often causes an early matter domination phase, altering the evol…
A Direct Detection View of the Neutrino NSI Landscape
Dorian W. P. Amaral, David Cerdeno, Andrew Cheek +1
In this article, we study the potential of direct detection experiments to explore the parameter space of general non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) via solar neutrino scatte…
Isospin-violating dark matter at liquid noble detectors: new constraints, future projections, and an exploration of target complementarity
Andrew Cheek, Darren D. Price, Ellen M. Sandford
There is no known reason that dark matter interactions with the Standard Model should couple to neutrons and protons in the same way. This isospin violation can have large conseque…
Evaporation of Primordial Black Holes in the Early Universe: Mass and Spin Distributions
Andrew Cheek, Lucien Heurtier, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +1
Many cosmological phenomena lead to the production of primordial black holes in the early Universe. These phenomena often create a population of black holes with extended mass and…
Towards detecting super-GeV dark matter via annihilation to neutrinos
L. Salvador Miranda, S. Basegmez du Pree, K. C. Y. Ng +2
The next generation of neutrino telescopes will feature unprecedented sensitivities in the detection of neutrinos. Here we study the capabilities of a large-scale neutrino telescop…
Dark matter production through a non-thermal flavon portal
Andrew Cheek, Jacek K. Osiński, Leszek Roszkowski +1
The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism provides an attractive way of generating the determined fermion mass hierarchy and quark mixing matrix elements in the Standard Model (SM). Here…
Redshift Effects in Particle Production from Kerr Primordial Black Holes
Andrew Cheek, Lucien Heurtier, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +1
When rotating primordial black holes evaporate via Hawking radiation, their rotational energy and mass are dissipated with different dynamics. We investigate the effect of these dy…
Primordial Black Hole Evaporation and Dark Matter Production: II. Interplay with the Freeze-In/Out Mechanism
Andrew Cheek, Lucien Heurtier, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +1
We study how the evaporation of primordial black holes (PBHs) can affect the production of dark matter (DM) particles through thermal processes. We consider fermionic DM interactin…
Primordial Black Hole Evaporation and Dark Matter Production: I. Solely Hawking radiation
Andrew Cheek, Lucien Heurtier, Yuber F. Perez-Gonzalez +1
Hawking evaporation of black holes in the early Universe is expected to copiously produce all kinds of particles, regardless of their charges under the Standard Model gauge group.…
Confirming as a solution for with neutrinos
D. W. P. Amaral, D. G. Cerdeno, A. Cheek +1
The recent measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment by the Fermilab E989 experiment, when combined with the previous result at BNL, has confirmed the tension with the SM p…
Robust Limits from Upcoming Neutrino Telescopes and Implications on Minimal Dark Matter Models
S. Basegmez du Pree, C. Arina, A. Cheek +3
Experimental developments in neutrino telescopes are drastically improving their ability to constrain the annihilation cross-section of dark matter. In this paper, we employ an ang…
Light and Darkness: consistently coupling dark matter to photons via effective operators
Chiara Arina, Andrew Cheek, Ken Mimasu +1
We revise the treatment of fermionic dark matter interacting with photons via dimension-5 and -6 effective operators. We show how the application of the effective operators beyond…
The dark matter component of the Gaia radially anisotropic substructure
Nassim Bozorgnia, Azadeh Fattahi, Carlos S. Frenk +5
We study the properties of the dark matter component of the radially anisotropic stellar population recently identified in the Gaia data, using magneto-hydrodynamical simulations o…

We study an extension of the Standard Model that addresses the hints of lepton flavour universality violation observed in decays at LHCb, while providing a vi…
Opening the energy window on direct dark matter detection
Nassim Bozorgnia, David G. Cerdeno, Andrew Cheek +1
In this article we investigate the benefits of increasing the maximum nuclear recoil energy analysed in dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments. We focus on elastic DM-nucleu…
