Searching for Axion Dark Matter Near Relaxing Magnetars
Sandip Roy, Anirudh Prabhu, Christopher Thompson +3
Axion dark matter passing through the magnetospheres of magnetars can undergo hyper-efficient resonant mixing with low-energy photons, leading to the production of narrow spectral…

Dark Matter Velocity Distributions for Direct Detection: Astrophysical Uncertainties are Smaller Than They Appear
Dylan Folsom, Carlos Blanco, Mariangela Lisanti +3
The sensitivity of direct detection experiments depends on the phase-space distribution of dark matter near the Sun, which can be modeled theoretically using cosmological hydrodyna…

Deep learning optimal molecular scintillators for dark matter direct detection
Cameron Cook, Carlos Blanco, Juri Smirnov
Direct searches for sub-GeV dark matter are limited by the intrinsic quantum properties of the target material. In this proof-of-concept study, we argue that this problem is partic…
