Super-Kamiokande Strongly Constrains Leptophilic Dark Matter Capture in the Sun
Thong T. Q. Nguyen, Tim Linden, Pierluca Carenza +1
The Sun can efficiently capture leptophilic dark matter that scatters with free electrons. If this dark matter subsequently annihilates into leptonic states, it can produce a detec…
INTEGRAL, eROSITA and Voyager Constraints on Light Bosonic Dark Matter: ALPs, Dark Photons, Scalars, and Vectors
Thong T. Q. Nguyen, Pedro De la Torre Luque, Isabelle John +3
The decay of light bosonic dark matter particles can produce a bright electron/positron () flux that can be strongly constrained by local Voyager observations of the direct…
Sub-keV dark matter can strongly ionize molecular clouds
Pedro De la Torre Luque, Pierluca Carenza, Thong T. Q. Nguyen
We show that the ionization of dense molecular clouds can be used to set strong constraints on dark matter models producing UV/X-ray photons in their annihilation or decay. We plac…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
Search for Axion-Like Particles from Nearby Pre-Supernova Stars
Saurabh Mittal, Thomas Siegert, Francesca Calore +7
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical pseudoscalar bosons that arise in many extensions of the Standard Model and are well-motivated dark matter candidates. Nearby massive s…
Out of the darkness: probing the inflationary era with dark photon dark matter
Pierluca Carenza, Tassia Ferreira, Thong T. Q. Nguyen
A recent hint reported by the TASEH haloscope suggests the possible detection of dark photon dark matter with mass . Due to their production during inflation, dark…
