Optomechanical dark matter instrument for direct detection
Christopher G. Baker, Warwick P. Bowen, Peter Cox +3
We propose the Optomechanical Dark-matter INstrument (ODIN), based on a new method for the direct detection of low-mass dark matter. We consider dark matter interacting with superf…

Absorption of Fermionic Dark Matter via the Scalar Portal
Peter Cox, Matthew J. Dolan, Joshua Wood
The absorption of fermionic dark matter has recently been studied as a signature for the direct detection of dark matter. We construct the first UV completion of the scalar effecti…

Exploring light dark matter with the Migdal effect in hydrogen-doped liquid xenon
Nicole F. Bell, Peter Cox, Matthew J. Dolan +2
An ongoing challenge in dark matter direct detection is to improve the sensitivity to light dark matter in the MeV--GeV mass range. One proposal is to dope a liquid noble-element d…
