Migdal Ionization as a Probe of Light Dark Matter from Nuclear Transition
Yuanchao Lou, Liangliang Su, Lei Wu
Nuclear reactors serve as a key artificial source of light dark matter. Direct detection of reactor-produced dark matter faces substantial obstacles, since quenching effects suppre…

Probing Dark Photons from Nuclear De-excitation in Reactor Neutrino Experiment
Yuanchao Lou, Lei Wu
Reactor neutrino experiments serve as powerful probes of light new physics. We investigate MeV-scale visible dark photons () produced in nuclear reactors through nuclear de-exc…

Enhanced Cosmic-Ray Cooling in AGN from Dark Matter Deep Inelastic Scattering
Linjie Li, Chih-Ting Lu, Arvind Kumar Mishra +2
The diffusion of high-energy cosmic rays (CRs) through the dark matter (DM) spikes of active galactic nuclei entails significant energy loss via interactions with DM. While previou…
