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…
Primordial Black Hole Sterile Neutrinogenesis: Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter Production Independent of Couplings
Muping Chen, Graciela B. Gelmini, Philip Lu +1
Sterile neutrinos (s) are well-motivated and actively searched for hypothetical neutral particles that would mix with the Standard Model active neutrinos. They are considered…
