Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2026 Proceedings
Alexey Elykov, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +81
The fourth "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM'26) meeting was held April 14-17, 2026 in Karlsruhe, Germany, hosted by the Institute for Astroparticle Physics (…
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…
Deconstructive Composite Dark Matter Detection
Yilda Boukhtouchen, Joseph Bramante, Christopher Cappiello +1
We investigate the detection of composite dark matter that disassembles into a cascade while crossing the Earth. This occurs for loosely bound composite dark matter, where the bind…
Secluded Dark Composites and Remnant Binding Fields
Katarina Bleau, Yilda Boukhtouchen, Joseph Bramante +1
Dark matter may freeze-out and undergo composite assembly while decoupled from the Standard Model. In this secluded composite scenario, while individual dark matter particles may b…
Loosely Bound Composite Dark Matter
Javier F. Acevedo, Yilda Boukhtouchen, Joseph Bramante +3
We investigate loosely bound composite states made of dark matter, where the binding energy for constituent particles is less than the constituent mass. We focus on models of nucle…
Dark Matter-Induced Baryonic Feedback in Galaxies
Javier F. Acevedo, Haipeng An, Yilda Boukhtouchen +3
We demonstrate that non-gravitational interactions between dark matter and baryonic matter can affect structural properties of galaxies. Detailed galaxy simulations and analytic es…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter. A Whitepaper
Sebastian Baum, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +66
Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors - nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the dama…
