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…

Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves

Yunjia Bao, Dhong Yeon Cheong, Nicholas L. Rodd +3

Precision experiments increasingly target weakly coupled waves, including axion dark matter and gravitational radiation. Such waves are commonly described as classical fields, yet…

Intrinsically Quantum Effects of Axion Dark Matter are Undetectable

Yunjia Bao, Dhong Yeon Cheong, Nicholas L. Rodd +3

Is the usual treatment of axion dark matter as a classical field reliable? We show that the answer is subtle: the axion field could well be in a quantum state that has no complete…

Testing Real WIMPs with CTAO

Matthew Baumgart, Salvatore Bottaro, Diego Redigolo +2

We forecast the reach of the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) to the full set of real representations within the paradigm of minimal dark matter. We employ eff…

Discovering the Higgsino at CTAO-North within the Decade

Shotaro Abe, Tomohiro Inada, Emmanuel Moulin +3

We demonstrate that higgsino dark matter (DM) could be discovered within the next few years using the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory's soon-to-be-operational northern site (…

Dark Matter Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is Sensitive to Dark Photons and the Axion-Photon Coupling

Carl Beadle, Sebastian A. R. Ellis, Jacob M. Leedom +1

We demonstrate that nuclear magnetic resonance based searches for dark matter (DM) have intrinsic and powerful sensitivity to dark photons and the axion-photon coupling. The reason…
