General one-loop expressions for the diagonal and transition electromagnetic moments of spin-1/2 fermions

Alejandro Ibarra, Merlin Reichard

Electrically neutral spin-1/2 fermions can interact via Yukawa or gauge couplings with electrically charged particles, leading to quantum-induced couplings between the neutral ferm…

Celestial probes of dark matter electromagnetic interactions

Alejandro Ibarra, Merlin Reichard, Gaurav Tomar

We investigate the neutrino flux from the Sun and Earth, as well as the heating of Jupiter and white dwarfs, induced by the annihilation of spin- dark matter particles capture…

Cosmological signals of dark matter semi-annihilation

Boris Betancourt Kamenetskaia, Mathias Garny, Alejandro Ibarra +2

The growth of primordial density fluctuations in the early Universe leads to an inhomogeneous dark matter distribution at high redshift, where semi-annihilation processes of the fo…

Investigating sub-MeV dark matter annihilation to neutrinos using direct detection experiments

Boris Betancourt Kamenetskaia, Jong-Chul Park, Merlin Reichard +1

Dark matter (DM) could self-annihilate into neutrinos in dense regions of the Universe. We consider the resulting flux of neutrinos from the Milky Way DM halo and derive exclusion…

Probing Dark Matter Electromagnetic Properties in Direct Detection Experiments

Alejandro Ibarra, Merlin Reichard, Gaurav Tomar

Astronomical and cosmological observations indicate that dark matter should interact very weakly with the electromagnetic radiation. Nevertheless, the existence of such interaction…

Anapole Moment of Majorana Fermions and Implications for Direct Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter

Alejandro Ibarra, Merlin Reichard, Ryo Nagai

For Majorana fermions the anapole moment is the only allowed electromagnetic multipole moment. In this work we calculate the anapole moment induced at one-loop by the Yukawa and ga…
