New bounds on light millicharged particles from the tip of the red-giant branch
Audrey Fung, Saniya Heeba, Qinrui Liu +3
Stellar energy loss is a sensitive probe of light, weakly coupled dark sectors, including ones containing millicharged particles (MCPs). The emission of MCPs can affect stellar evo…
Resonant Pseudo-Dirac Dark Matter as a Sub-GeV Thermal Target
Nirmalya Brahma, Saniya Heeba, Katelin Schutz
Dark matter (DM) could be a pseudo-Dirac thermal relic with a small mass splitting that is coupled off-diagonally to a kinetically mixed dark photon. This model, particularly in th…
Inelastic Freeze-in
Saniya Heeba, Tongyan Lin, Katelin Schutz
Dark matter (DM) could be a nonthermal relic that freezes in from extremely weak, sub-Hubble annihilation and decay of Standard Model (SM) particles. The case of Dirac DM freezing…
The ups and downs of inelastic dark matter: Electron recoils from terrestrial upscattering
Timon Emken, Jonas Frerick, Saniya Heeba +1
The growing interest in the interactions between dark matter particles and electrons has received a further boost by the observation of an excess in electron recoil events in the X…
