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…

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…
