Confronting the Higgsino Interpretation of the LZ Event with Astrophysical Uncertainties and the Solar Capture Constraints

Aditya Ghosh, Ilumi Chavez, Chris Kelso

We investigate whether astrophysical uncertainties in the local dark matter distribution can alleviate tensions between the higgsino interpretation of the LZ event and constraints…

Reconstructing Dark Matter Mass and Discriminating Standard and Non-Standard WIMP-Nucleus Interactions with Paleo-Detectors

Dionysios P. Theodosopoulos, Katherine Freese, Chris Kelso +1

Paleo-detectors record and retain crystal damage in ancient minerals from nuclear recoils induced by dark matter scattering over geological timescales. Previous studies have shown…

Projected Sensitivity of Paleo-Detectors to Dark Matter Effective Interactions with Nuclei

Dionysios P. Theodosopoulos, Katherine Freese, Chris Kelso +1

Paleo-detectors are a proposed experimental technique for direct detection (DD) of dark matter (DM) via the read-out of DM-induced nuclear recoil tracks in natural minerals. The la…

Can a Breakdown of Hawking Evaporation Open a New Mass Window for Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter?

Gabriele Montefalcone, Dan Hooper, Katherine Freese +3

Semi-classical Hawking evaporation is expected to break down at some point in a black hole's evolution as the effects of quantum gravity become important. In particular, it has bee…
