Background-Induced Forces from Quadratically Coupled Ultralight Dark Matter

Thomas Bouley, Xucheng Gan, Hailin Xu +1

Quadratically coupled ultralight scalar dark matter behaves as a coherent classical field whose interactions with matter can induce a composition-dependent force through the dark m…

Earth-Scattering Induced Modulation in Low-Threshold Dark Matter Experiments

Xavier Bertou, Ansh Desai, Timon Emken +3

Dark matter particles with sufficiently large interactions with ordinary matter can scatter in the Earth before reaching and scattering in a detector. This induces a modulation in…

SENSEI: A Search for Diurnal Modulation in sub-GeV Dark Matter Scattering

Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti, Mariano Cababie +28

Dark matter particles with sufficiently large interactions with ordinary matter can scatter in the Earth's atmosphere and crust before reaching an underground detector. This Earth-…

SENSEI: First Direct-Detection Results on sub-GeV Dark Matter from SENSEI at SNOLAB

SENSEI Collaboration, Prakruth Adari, Itay M. Bloch +34

We present the first results from a dark matter search using six Skipper-CCDs in the SENSEI detector operating at SNOLAB. We employ a bias-mitigation technique of hiding approximat…

Hunting Nonstandard Neutrino Interactions and Leptoquarks in Dark Matter Experiments

Thomas Schwemberger, Volodymyr Takhistov, Tien-Tien Yu

Next generation direct dark matter (DM) detection experiments will have unprecedented capabilities to explore coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering (CENS) complementary to dedic…
