Revisiting Turner Window Axions: The Untapped Potential of NaI Dark Matter Detectors
W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1
The "Turner window" corresponds to axions with masses 1 eV that have sufficiently strong couplings to matter to evade limits from the cooling of SN1987A. This window, thr…

Is the Turner Window Open? Seeking Closure with Resonant Absorption of Galactic Axions in NaI Dark Matter Detectors
W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1
Motivated by the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal, the dark matter community has invested heavily in ultra-clean underground NaI detectors to search for light WIMPs. We point ou…

A Continuous Galactic Line Source of Axions: The Remarkable Case of 23Na
W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Annie McCutcheon +1
We argue that Na is a potentially significant source of galactic axions. For temperatures K -- characteristic of carbon burning in the massive progeni…
