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,…
Searching for Dark Matter in the Sun using Hyper-Kamiokande
Nicole F. Bell, Matthew J. Dolan, Sandra Robles
We study the ability of the Hyper-Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment, currently under construction, to constrain a neutrino signal produced via the annihilation of dark matter captured…
Improved Treatment of Dark Matter Capture in White Dwarfs
Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni, Maura E. Ramirez-Quezada +2
White dwarfs, the most abundant stellar remnants, provide a promising means of probing dark matter (DM) interactions, complimentary to terrestrial searches. The scattering of dark…
Solar Gamma Ray Constraints on Dark Matter Annihilation to Secluded Mediators
Nicole F. Bell, James B. Dent, Isaac W. Sanderson
We consider the indirect detection of dark matter that is captured in the Sun and subsequently annihilates to long-lived dark mediators. If these mediators escape the Sun before de…
