ALP-mediated Dark Matter-Nucleon Scattering
Wim Beenakker, Daniël Mikkers, Anh Vu Phan +1
We perform a comprehensive analysis of dark matter-nucleon scattering via the exchange of axion-like particles (ALPs). At first sight, this might appear of little practical use, as…

Scattering meets absorption in dark matter detection
Pieter Braat, Anh Vu Phan, Marieke Postma +1
Direct detection experiments have started to explore dark matter scattering off electrons and nucleons through light mediators. Mediators with sub-keV masses are efficiently produc…

FIMP Dark Matter at the LHC
Susanne Westhoff
This brief summary targets feebly interacting massive particles, FIMPs, which are interesting candidates for dark matter. The cosmic history of FIMP dark matter often leads to pred…
