First direct search for light dark matter interactions in a transition-edge sensor
Christina Schwemmbauer, Guy Daniel Hadas, Yonit Hochberg +9
We propose the use of transition-edge sensor (TES) single-photon detectors as a simultaneous target and sensor for direct dark matter searches, and report results from the first se…

First Sub-MeV Dark Matter Search with the QROCODILE Experiment Using Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors
Laura Baudis, Alexander Bismark, Noah Brugger +15
We present the first results from the Quantum Resolution-Optimized Cryogenic Observatory for Dark matter Incident at Low Energy (QROCODILE). The QROCODILE experiment uses a microwi…

Dark Matter-Electron Detectors for Dark Matter-Nucleon Interactions
Sinéad M. Griffin, Guy Daniel Hadas, Yonit Hochberg +2
In a seminal paper now a decade old, it was shown that dark matter detectors geared at probing interactions with nucleons could also be used to probe dark matter interactions with…
