LUX-ZEPLIN's Stairway to Heaen: limits on elastic scatters of dark matter from solar capture

Debajit Bose, Akash Kumar Saha, Thong T. Q. Nguyen +3

The recent report of xenon recoiling with about 250 keV energy at the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter direct detection experiment was interpreted by the collaboration as either a momen…

Not so good s for Higgsino dark matter as LZ excess: stringent limits from Super-Kamiokande and IceCube

Debajit Bose, Akash Kumar Saha, Deep Jyoti Das +9

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration has recently reported a single nuclear recoil event at a high recoil energy of about 250 keV. This has been interpreted as inelastic scattering of…

Dark matter scattering with pre-supernova neutrinos

Sangeetha N. Tallur, Nirmal Raj

Pre-supernova neutrinos, emitted during the last day prior to core collapse of a massive star, could provide a unique probe at MeV energies of scattering interactions between dark…

Hawking heating of neutron stars by dark matter

Akash Kumar Saha, Abhishek Dubey, Nirmal Raj

Interactions with particle dark matter could brighten old, isolated neutron stars to thermal luminosities detectable at current and next-generation telescopes. We present a novel m…

Direct detection of electromagnetically interacting ultraheavy dark matter

Jason Kumar, Biprajit Mondal, Girish Muralidhara +1

At a level too faint for astronomy, particle dark matter may interact with Standard Model states via the photon. We derive limits from direct detection experiments on photon-mediat…

Dark, deep, deconfining: Phase transitions in neutron stars as powerful probes of hidden sectors

Aryaman Bhutani, Nirmal Raj, Zenia Zuraiq

The interiors of neutron stars enjoy ideal conditions for the conversion of hadrons to a strange quark phase, theorized to be the stablest form of matter. Though numerous astrophys…
