Application of the Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Theory to WIMP-Nucleus Interactions in 40Ar
N. Krishnan, R. Abdel Khaleq, C. Simenel
WIMP scattering from 40Ar is investigated using a self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach. Nuclear form factors relevant to dark matter direct detection are c…

Impact of shell model interactions on WIMP-nucleus scattering observables for silicon and germanium targets
Raghda Abdel Khaleq, Madeleine J. Zurowski
The nature of dark matter (DM) remains one of the biggest mysteries in physics today. Dark matter direct detection experiments look for nuclear recoil signals from DM-nucleus elast…

Detailed nuclear structure calculations for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering
Raghda Abdel Khaleq, Jayden L. Newstead, Cedric Simenel +1
Any discovery of `new physics' in the neutrino sector first requires a precise prediction of the expected Standard Model cross section. Currently, Coherent Elastic neutrino-Nucleus…
