New Windows on Heavy Dark Matter: Mineral Melt Modelling and X-Ray Readout for Muscovite Mica

Yilda Boukhtouchen, Joseph Bramante, Andrew Buchanan +5

Muscovite mica is a translucent, layered silicate mineral whose basal cleavage, low radiogenic background, gigayear exposures, and demonstrated track retention over geological time…

Revisiting Turner Window Axions: The Untapped Potential of NaI Dark Matter Detectors

W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1

The "Turner window" corresponds to axions with masses 1 eV that have sufficiently strong couplings to matter to evade limits from the cooling of SN1987A. This window, thr…

New physics in multi-lepton tau decays

Yohei Ema, Patrick J. Fox, Matheus Hostert +4

Dark particles with lepton-flavor-violating couplings to the tau lepton can induce rare neutrinoless decays with large final state multiplicities. We study models where transit…

Is the Turner Window Open? Seeking Closure with Resonant Absorption of Galactic Axions in NaI Dark Matter Detectors

W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1

Motivated by the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal, the dark matter community has invested heavily in ultra-clean underground NaI detectors to search for light WIMPs. We point ou…

Detecting Dark Matter with Neutron Stars

Anupam Ray

Neutron stars offer powerful astrophysical laboratories to probe the properties of dark matter. Gradual accumulation of heavy, non-annihilating dark matter in neutron stars can lea…

Beyond Hawking evaporation of black holes formed by dark matter in compact stars

Ujjwal Basumatary, Nirmal Raj, Anupam Ray

The memory burden effect is an explicit resolution to the information paradox by which an evaporating black hole acquires quantum hair, which then suppresses its rate of mass loss…

Dark Matter Catalyzed Baryon Destruction

Yohei Ema, Robert McGehee, Maxim Pospelov +1

WIMP-type dark matter may have additional interactions that break baryon number, leading to induced nucleon decays which are subject to direct experimental constraints from proton…

Enhanced Muonization by Active-Sterile Neutrino Mixing in Protoneutron Stars

Anupam Ray, Yong-Zhong Qian

We study - and - mixing in the protoneutron star (PNS) created in a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). We point out the importance of the feedback on the g…

Continuous Gravitational Waves: A New Window to Look for Heavy Non-annihilating Dark Matter

Sulagna Bhattacharya, Andrew L. Miller, Anupam Ray

Sun-like stars can transmute into comparable mass black holes by steadily accumulating heavy non-annihilating dark matter particles over the course of their lives. If such stars fo…

Probing Earth-Bound Dark Matter with Nuclear Reactors

Yohei Ema, Maxim Pospelov, Anupam Ray

Strongly-interacting dark matter can be accumulated in large quantities inside the Earth, and for dark matter particles in a few GeV mass range, it can exist in large quantities ne…

Probing self-interacting sterile neutrino dark matter with the diffuse supernova neutrino background

A. Baha Balantekin, George M. Fuller, Anupam Ray +1

The neutrinos in the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) travel over cosmological distances and this provides them with an excellent opportunity to interact with dark reli…
