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-…
2024 TASI Lectures: A Dark Matter Primer
Tien-Tien Yu
These notes are based on a sequence of 4 lectures delivered at the 2024 Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI) and at the Università degli Studi di Padova. They are intended f…
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…
