Adiabatic response in the Migdal Effect
Stefan Nellen Mondragón, Josef Pradler, Mukul Sholapurkar
The Migdal effect-the prompt ionization induced by a sudden nuclear recoil-is widely used in direct dark matter searches, yet its validity beyond the impulse approximation has rema…

Detectability of dark matter subhalo impacts in Milky Way stellar streams
Junyang Lu, Tongyan Lin, Mukul Sholapurkar +1
Stellar streams are a promising way to probe the gravitational effects of low-mass dark matter (DM) subhalos. In recent years, there has been a remarkable explosion in the number o…

Listening For New Physics With Quantum Acoustics
Ryan Linehan, Tanner Trickle, Christopher R. Conner +4
We present a novel application of a qubit-coupled phonon detector to search for new physics, e.g., ultralight dark matter (DM) and high-frequency gravitational waves. The detector,…
