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…
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…
