The Phonon Background from Gamma Rays in Sub-GeV Dark Matter Detectors
Kim V. Berghaus, Rouven Essig, Yonit Hochberg +2
High-energy photons with (MeV) energies from radioactive contaminants can scatter in a solid-state target material and constitute an important low-energy background fo…
Cosmological Constraints on Dark Matter Interactions with Ordinary Matter
Manuel A. Buen-Abad, Rouven Essig, David McKeen +1
Dark matter interactions with electrons or protons during the early Universe leave imprints on the cosmic microwave background and the matter power spectrum, and can be probed thro…
SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD
Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti +22
We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the orig…
The Cosmological Evolution of Self-interacting Dark Matter
Daniel Egana-Ugrinovic, Rouven Essig, Daniel Gift +1
We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in dark-matter models with elastic and velocity-independent self interactions. Such interactions are imprinted in the matter-po…
