Search for Light Dark Sectors Using Electron-Photon Collisions
L. Angel, G. Casse, G. Gambini +7
The dark photon is a new gauge boson that naturally arises in many beyond-the-Standard-Model scenarios and couples to the electromagnetic current through kinetic mixing. Owing to t…
Probing the Dark Matter EFT with QUEST-DMC: Projected Sensitivities and Attenuation Ceilings
DMC Collaboration, N. Darvishi, S. Autti +27
This proceedings contribution summarises projected constraints from the QUEST-DMC concept, a surface-based direct-detection experiment using superfluid He operated below the mi…
Minimal Dark Matter: Generalized Framework and Direct-Detection Sensitivity
Spencer Griffith, Juri Smirnov, Laura Lopez-Honorez +1
Minimal electroweak dark matter models are compelling due to their simplicity, though calculations of their freezeout abundance are complicated by nonperturbative effects due to So…
Dynamical Dark Energy Emerges from Massive Gravity
Juri Smirnov
In this work, we demonstrate that a dynamical dark energy component predicted by massive gravity gives rise to a distinctive evolution of the equation of state. This scenario is fa…
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…
Dark Dwarfs: Dark Matter-Powered Sub-Stellar Objects Awaiting Discovery at the Galactic Center
Djuna Croon, Jeremy Sakstein, Juri Smirnov +1
We investigate the effects of dark matter annihilation on objects with masses close to the sub-stellar limit, finding that the minimum mass for stable hydrogen burning is larger th…
Searching for a dark matter induced galactic axion gradient
Edward Hardy, Mario Reig, Juri Smirnov
An ultra-light axion with CP violating interactions with a dark sector and CP preserving interactions with the visible sector can act as a novel portal between dark matter and the…
Gamma-Ray Lines in 15 Years of Fermi-LAT Data: New Constraints on Higgs Portal Dark Matter
Pedro De La Torre Luque, Juri Smirnov, Tim Linden
Monoenergetic -ray spectral lines are among the cleanest signatures of dark matter annihilation. We analyze 15 years of Fermi-LAT data, find no spectral lines, and place strong…
Dark Matter (H)eats Young Planets
Djuna Croon, Juri Smirnov
We study the effect of dark matter annihilation on the formation of Jovian planets. We show that dark matter heat injections can slow or halt Kelvin-Helmholtz contraction, preventi…
