Light Dark Matter in Superfluid Helium: Detection with Multi-excitation Production
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Kathryn M. Zurek
We examine in depth a recent proposal to utilize superfluid helium for direct detection of sub-MeV mass dark matter. For sub-keV recoil energies, nuclear scattering events in liqui…
A New Flavor of Searches for Axion-Like Particles
Eder Izaguirre, Tongyan Lin, Brian Shuve
We propose new searches for axion-like particles (ALPs) produced in flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes. This proposal exploits the often-overlooked coupling of ALPs t…
Dark Sectors 2016 Workshop: Community Report
Jim Alexander, Marco Battaglieri, Bertrand Echenard +201
This report, based on the Dark Sectors workshop at SLAC in April 2016, summarizes the scientific importance of searches for dark sector dark matter and forces at masses beneath the…
Absorption of light dark matter in semiconductors
Yonit Hochberg, Tongyan Lin, Kathryn M. Zurek
Semiconductors are by now well-established targets for direct detection of MeV to GeV dark matter via scattering off electrons. We show that semiconductor targets can also detect s…
Searching for axion-like particles with ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Hou Keong Lou +1
We show that ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC can be used to search for axion-like particles with mass below 100 GeV. The enhanced photon-photon luminosity fr…
GUTzilla Dark Matter
Keisuke Harigaya, Tongyan Lin, Hou Keong Lou
Motivated by gauge coupling unification and dark matter, we present an extension to the Standard Model where both are achieved by adding an extra new matter multiplet. Such conside…
