Detection of Light Dark Matter With Optical Phonons in Polar Materials
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Matt Pyle +1
We show that polar materials are excellent targets for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter due to the presence of gapped optical phonons as well as acoustic phonons with high s…
Constraining a Thin Dark Matter Disk with Gaia
Katelin Schutz, Tongyan Lin, Benjamin R. Safdi +1
If a component of the dark matter has dissipative interactions, it could collapse to form a thin dark disk in our Galaxy that is coplanar with the baryonic disk. It has been sugges…
Light Dark Matter: Models and Constraints
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Kathryn M. Zurek
We study the direct detection prospects for a representative set of simplified models of sub-GeV dark matter (DM), accounting for existing terrestrial, astrophysical and cosmologic…
LHC limits on axion-like particles from heavy-ion collisions
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Hou Keong Lou +1
In these proceedings we use recent LHC heavy-ion data to set a limit on axion-like particles coupling to electromagnetism with mass in the range 10-100 GeV. We recast ATLAS data as…
