Detectable subhalo impacts in Milky Way streams
Junyang Lu, Elias Bernreuther, Tongyan Lin +3
Dark matter subhalos leave gravitational imprints in the stellar streams of the Milky Way. Observing individual strong impacts of subhalos offers a compelling way to constrain and…
Detectability of dark matter subhalo impacts in Milky Way stellar streams
Junyang Lu, Tongyan Lin, Mukul Sholapurkar +1
Stellar streams are a promising way to probe the gravitational effects of low-mass dark matter (DM) subhalos. In recent years, there has been a remarkable explosion in the number o…
Daily modulation of low-energy nuclear recoils from sub-GeV dark matter
Connor Stratman, Tongyan Lin
At sufficiently low nuclear recoil energy, the scattering of dark matter (DM) in crystals gives rise to single phonon and multiphonon excitations. In anisotropic crystals, the scat…
Listening For New Physics With Quantum Acoustics
Ryan Linehan, Tanner Trickle, Christopher R. Conner +4
We present a novel application of a qubit-coupled phonon detector to search for new physics, e.g., ultralight dark matter (DM) and high-frequency gravitational waves. The detector,…
The Escape Velocity Profile of the Milky Way from Gaia DR3
Cian Roche, Lina Necib, Tongyan Lin +2
The escape velocity profile of the Milky Way offers a crucial and independent measurement of its underlying mass distribution and dark matter properties. Using a sample of stars fr…
Anharmonic effects in nuclear recoils from sub-GeV dark matter
Tongyan Lin, Chia-Hsien Shen, Mukul Sholapurkar +1
Direct detection experiments are looking for nuclear recoils from scattering of sub-GeV dark matter (DM) in crystals, and have thresholds as low as ~ 10 eV or DM masses of ~ 100 Me…
Mechanical Quantum Sensing in the Search for Dark Matter
Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David C. Moore +32
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matt…
