Digging for Dark Matter: Spectral Analysis and Discovery Potential of Paleo-Detectors
Thomas D. P. Edwards, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Christoph Weniger +5
Paleo-detectors are a recently proposed method for the direct detection of Dark Matter (DM). In such detectors, one would search for the persistent damage features left by DM--nucl…
Faint Light from Dark Matter: Classifying and Constraining Dark Matter-Photon Effective Operators
Bradley J. Kavanagh, Paolo Panci, Robert Ziegler
Even if Dark Matter (DM) is neutral under electromagnetism, it can still interact with the Standard Model (SM) via photon exchange from higher-dimensional operators. Here we classi…
Statistical challenges in the search for dark matter
Sara Algeri, Melissa van Beekveld, Nassim Bozorgnia +19
The search for the particle nature of dark matter has given rise to a number of experimental, theoretical and statistical challenges. Here, we report on a number of these statistic…
Bracketing the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on local dark matter searches
Alejandro Ibarra, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Andreas Rappelt
The theoretical interpretation of dark matter (DM) experiments is hindered by uncertainties on the dark matter density and velocity distribution inside the Solar System. In order t…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
Black Holes' Dark Dress: On the merger rate of a subdominant population of primordial black holes
Bradley J. Kavanagh, Daniele Gaggero, Gianfranco Bertone
The formation of astrophysical and primordial black holes influences the distribution of dark matter surrounding them. Black holes are thus expected to carry a dark matter `dress'…
