MeV dark matter decay forecasts for the COSI mission
Robin Anthony-Petersen, Orion Ning, Yu Watanabe +21
The decay of dark matter (DM) is a generic prediction of many particle physics models, producing distinctive monochromatic signatures in environments such as the Galactic halo. Sea…
Confronting the Higgsino Interpretation of the LZ Event with the High-Energy Sideband
Nicholas L. Rodd, Benjamin R. Safdi, Tracy R. Slatyer +1
The LZ experiment has reported a single 248 keV nuclear recoil event in their ton-yr exposure on a xenon target. The absence of lower nuclear recoil events is naturally expl…
Semi-analytic Inference of Satellite Densities in the Cold Dark Matter Model Part II. Implications for Dark Matter Indirect Detection Constraints
Kailash Raman, Dylan Folsom, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
Dwarf galaxies provide excellent targets to search for signals of dark matter annihilation or decay. Using a calibrated semi-analytic model and the latest stellar kinematic data (p…
Semi-analytic Inference of Satellite Densities in the Cold Dark Matter Model Part I. Comparison to Ultra-faint Dwarf Kinematics
Kailash Raman, Dylan Folsom, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are critical testing grounds for probing the limits of galaxy formation in the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. Employing a semi-analytic cosmological sa…
No Evidence for Superradiant Axions in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA GWTC-5 Binary Black Hole Spins
Orion Ning, Benjamin R. Safdi, Catherine Welch
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion and axion-like particles may form bound clouds around spinning black holes (BHs) when their Compton wavelength is comparable to the BH gravit…
Heterotic String Theory Suggests a QCD Axion Near 0.5 neV
Joshua N. Benabou, Giulio Alvise Dainelli, Mario Reig +1
We show that in heterotic string theory -- and dual corners of the landscape including Type I string theory -- the QCD axion mass is bounded from below by neV, a…
