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…
Low-Mass dark matter (in)direct detection with inelastic scattering
Nicole F. Bell, James B. Dent, Bhaskar Dutta +2
We revisit the detection of luminous dark matter in direct detection experiments. In this scenario, dark matter scatters endothermically to produce an excited state, which decays t…
Dark Matter Pollution in the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background
Nicole F. Bell, Matthew J. Dolan, Sandra Robles
The Hyper-Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment is expected to precisely measure the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB). This requires that the backgrounds in the relevant energ…
Observing the Migdal effect from nuclear recoils of neutral particles with liquid xenon and argon detectors
Nicole F. Bell, James B. Dent, Rafael F. Lang +2
In recent years, dark matter direct detection experiments have spurred interest in the Migdal effect, where it is employed to extend their sensitivity to lower dark matter masses.…
Improved Treatment of Dark Matter Capture in Neutron Stars III: Nucleon and Exotic Targets
Filippo Anzuini, Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni +4
We consider the capture of dark matter (DM) in neutron stars via scattering on hadronic targets, including neutrons, protons and hyperons. We extend previous analyses by including…
Cosmic-ray upscattered inelastic dark matter
Nicole F. Bell, James B. Dent, Bhaskar Dutta +4
Light non-relativistic components of the galactic dark matter halo elude direct detection constraints because they lack the kinetic energy to create an observable recoil. However,…
