Directional detection of dark matter with anisotropic response functions
Christian Boyd, Yonit Hochberg, Yonatan Kahn +4
Direct detection for sub-GeV dark matter is developing rapidly, with many novel experimental ideas and theoretical methods emerging. In this work, we extend the dielectric formalis…
Impact of Dark Compton Scattering on Direct Dark Matter Absorption Searches
Yonit Hochberg, Belina von Krosigk, Eric Kuflik +1
Direct detection experiments are gaining in mass reach. Here we show that the inclusion of dark Compton scattering, which has typically been neglected in absorption searches, has a…
Determining Dark Matter-Electron Scattering Rates from the Dielectric Function
Yonit Hochberg, Yonatan Kahn, Noah Kurinsky +3
We show that the rate for dark matter-electron scattering in an arbitrary material is determined by an experimentally measurable quantity, the complex dielectric function, for any…
SiC Detectors for Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Sinéad M. Griffin, Yonit Hochberg, Katherine Inzani +3
We propose the use of silicon carbide (SiC) for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. SiC has properties similar to both silicon and diamond, but has two key advantages: (i) it…
Diamond Detectors for Direct Detection of Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Noah Kurinsky, To Chin Yu, Yonit Hochberg +1
We propose to use high-purity lab-grown diamond for the detection of sub-GeV dark matter. Diamond targets can be sensitive to both nuclear and electron recoils from dark matter sca…
