ALP-mediated Dark Matter-Nucleon Scattering
Wim Beenakker, Daniël Mikkers, Anh Vu Phan +1
We perform a comprehensive analysis of dark matter-nucleon scattering via the exchange of axion-like particles (ALPs). At first sight, this might appear of little practical use, as…

Top observables as precise probes of the ALP
Anh Vu Phan
Measurements of the top quark by the ATLAS and CMS experiments go beyond testing the Standard Model (SM) with high precision. Axion-like particles (ALPs), a potential SM extension…

Scattering meets absorption in dark matter detection
Pieter Braat, Anh Vu Phan, Marieke Postma +1
Direct detection experiments have started to explore dark matter scattering off electrons and nucleons through light mediators. Mediators with sub-keV masses are efficiently produc…
