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…

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…
