Dark-matter-nucleus scattering in chiral effective field theory
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Javier Menéndez +1
Chiral effective field theory allows one to calculate the response of few-nucleon systems to external currents, both for currents that can be probed in the Standard Model and ones…
Nuclear structure factors for general spin-independent WIMP-nucleus scattering
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Javier Menéndez +1
We present nuclear structure factors that describe the generalized spin-independent coupling of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) to nuclei. Our results are based on sta…
First results on the scalar WIMP-pion coupling, using the XENON1T experiment
E. Aprile, J. Aalbers, F. Agostini +128
We present first results on the scalar WIMP-pion coupling from 1 tyr of exposure with the XENON1T experiment. This interaction is generated when the WIMP couples to a virtu…
Discriminating WIMP-nucleus response functions in present and future XENON-like direct detection experiments
A. Fieguth, M. Hoferichter, P. Klos +3
The standard interpretation of direct-detection limits on dark matter involves particular assumptions of the underlying WIMP-nucleus interaction, such as, in the simplest case, the…
Improved limits for Higgs-portal dark matter from LHC searches
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Javier Menéndez +1
Searches for invisible Higgs decays at the Large Hadron Collider constrain dark matter Higgs-portal models, where dark matter interacts with the Standard Model fields via the Higgs…
Chiral power counting of one- and two-body currents in direct detection of dark matter
Martin Hoferichter, Philipp Klos, Achim Schwenk
We present a common chiral power-counting scheme for vector, axial-vector, scalar, and pseudoscalar WIMP-nucleon interactions, and derive all one- and two-body currents up to third…
