Searching for axion dark matter gegenschein of the Vela supernova remnant with FAST

Wenxiu Yang, Yitian Sun, Yougang Wang +7

Axions are one of the leading dark matter candidates. If we are embedded in a Milky Way dark matter halo comprised of axions, their stimulated decay would enable us to observe a co…

Direct Detection of the Millicharged Background

Ella Iles, Saniya Heeba, Katelin Schutz

We show that dark matter direct detection experiments are sensitive to the existence of particles with a small effective charge (for instance, via couplings to a kinetically mixed,…

Looking in the axion mirror: An all-sky analysis of stimulated decay

Yitian Sun, Katelin Schutz, Harper Sewalls +2

Axion dark matter (DM) produces echo images of bright radio sources via stimulated decay. These images appear as a faint radio line centered at half the axion mass, with the line w…

New bounds on light millicharged particles from the tip of the red-giant branch

Audrey Fung, Saniya Heeba, Qinrui Liu +3

Stellar energy loss is a sensitive probe of light, weakly coupled dark sectors, including ones containing millicharged particles (MCPs). The emission of MCPs can affect stellar evo…

Photon-Dark Photon Conversion with Multiple Level Crossings

Nirmalya Brahma, Asher Berlin, Katelin Schutz

Dark photons can oscillate into Standard Model (SM) photons via kinetic mixing. The conversion probability depends sensitively on properties of the ambient background, such as the…

Resonant Pseudo-Dirac Dark Matter as a Sub-GeV Thermal Target

Nirmalya Brahma, Saniya Heeba, Katelin Schutz

Dark matter (DM) could be a pseudo-Dirac thermal relic with a small mass splitting that is coupled off-diagonally to a kinetically mixed dark photon. This model, particularly in th…
