Halo-Independent Quantum Sensor Probes of Low-Velocity Dark Matter
Muping Chen, Graciela B. Gelmini, Volodymyr Takhistov +1
We present a halo-independent framework for sub-GeV dark matter (DM) direct detection using quantum sensors with sub-eV energy thresholds. Such detectors enable access to low DM ve…
Multiple Populations of Same Sterile Neutrino as Dark Matter
Muping Chen, Graciela B. Gelmini, Philip Lu +1
Sterile neutrinos produced in the early Universe that mix with active neutrinos of the Standard Model are typically considered to consist of a single population resulting from one…
Light Dark Matter Detection with Sub-eV Transition-Edge Sensors
Muping Chen, Volodymyr Takhistov, Kazunori Nakayama +1
We present a comprehensive analysis of high-resolution transition-edge sensors (TESs) as a quantum sensing platform for detecting dark matter (DM). Operating near the thermodynamic…
Spin-dependent dark matter interactions at loop-level in Ar and Xe
Nassim Bozorgnia, Muping Chen, Graciela B. Gelmini +2
Xenon and argon are the two noble gases used in tonne scale dark matter direct detection experiments. We compare the detection capability of both target elements for interactions d…
