Impact of nuclear shell model uncertainties on silicon and germanium WIMP-nucleus limits

M. J. Zurowski, R. Abdel Khaleq

Dark matter (DM) direct detection searches look for nuclear recoils as a result of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) scattering off nuclei. Calculating the rate associat…

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…

Impact of shell model interactions on nuclear responses to WIMP elastic scattering

Raghda Abdel Khaleq, Giorgio Busoni, Cedric Simenel +1

Background: Nuclear recoil from scattering with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) is a signature searched for in direct detection of dark matter. The underlying WIMP-nuc…

Impact of nuclear structure from shell model calculations on nuclear responses to WIMP elastic scattering for F and Xe targets

Raghda Abdel Khaleq, Cedric Simenel, Andrew E. Stuchbery

Non-relativistic effective field theory (NREFT) is one approach used for describing the interaction of WIMPs with ordinary matter. Among other factors, these interactions are expec…
