Cosmic Ray Boosted Dark Matter in COSINUS: Modeling and Constraints
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +41
Direct detection of nuclear recoils due to sub-GeV dark matter is challenging because of the small kinetic energy of the light dark matter particles. Although limits down to a few…
Defect Formation in NaI Crystals: A Novel Pathway to Dark Matter Detection
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +44
Sodium iodide (NaI) is a widely used scintillator in direct dark matter searches. In particular, NaI-based cryogenic scintillating calorimeters have emerged as promising candidates…
Quenching factors for Na recoils as a function of Tl dopant concentrations in NaI(Tl) crystals
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +51
Thallium-doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) scintillation detectors play an important role in the field of direct dark matter (DM) searches. The DAMA/LIBRA experiment stands out for its…
COSINUS model-independent sensitivity to the DAMA/LIBRA dark matter signal
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, A. Böhmer +40
COSINUS is a dark matter direct detection experiment using NaI crystals as cryogenic scintillating calorimeters. If no signal is observed, this will constrain the dark matter scatt…
Neutrino flux sensitivity to the next galactic core-collapse supernova in COSINUS
G. Angloher, M. R. Bharadwaj, M. Cababie +39
While neutrinos are often treated as a background for many dark matter experiments, these particles offer a new avenue for physics: the detection of core-collapse supernovae. Super…
