Inelastic Dark Matter Signature at High Recoil Energy in LUX-ZEPLIN and CRESST
Liangliang Su, Jin Min Yang, Wen-Na Yang
The LUX--ZEPLIN Collaboration recently reported one event at with an exposure of . In this Letter, we interpret…
Dielectric Response for Light Dark Matter Direct Detection Beyond the Longitudinal Approximation
Zheng-Liang Liang, Lei Wu, Wen-Na Yang +2
The dielectric formalism for light dark matter--electron scattering in semiconductors has, to date, employed only the longitudinal dielectric function , with the transverse re…
Direct Detection of Light Self-Interacting Dark Matter via Electronic Collective Excitations
Wen-Na Yang, Wu-Long Xu, Wenyu Wang +1
Models of light dark matter often invoke a light mediator to facilitate interactions with the Standard Model. If sufficiently light, this mediator can induce long-range self-intera…
Size Dependence of the Sommerfeld Enhancement for Puffy Dark Matter
Wu-Long Xu, Jin Min Yang, Wen-Na Yang
We examine the size effects in the Sommerfeld enhancement factor for puffy dark matter annihilation. First, we use the partial-wave method to study the case of puffy dark matter fo…
Constraints on Axion-Like Particles with the Silicon Detector at a Nuclear Reactor
Yuanlin Gong, Jun Guo, Ning Liu +2
Axion and axion-like particles (ALPs), predicted in various extensions of the Standard Model, can be abundantly produced in nuclear reactors via the Primakoff process. In this work…
Dark Photon Oscillations in Waveguide
Yu-Xin Tian, Wenyu Wang, Wen-Na Yang +1
Dark photons, which can kinetically mix with ordinary photons, represent the simplest extension to the standard model. Detecting their oscillations with visible photons could provi…
