A Comprehensive Interpretation of the LZ High-Energy Recoil Event: A Minimal Dark Sector and Its Experimental Tests
Mattia Di Mauro
The keV nuclear-recoil candidate reported by LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) motivates an inelastic dark matter (DM) interpretation, in which scattering converts the DM particle into a sligh…

It is tantalizing to consider the recent observation of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment of a high energy nuclear recoil candidate at keV as the long-awai…
Testing Higgs-Coupled Minimal Dark Matter with Solar Neutrinos after the LZ High-Recoil Event
Mattia Di Mauro
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Collaboration has reported a nuclear-recoil candidate at keV, motivating interpretations in terms of endothermic dark matter (DM). We investigate this sig…
Solar Capture Tests of Inelastic Dark Matter after the LZ High-Recoil Event
Mattia Di Mauro, Halim Shaikh
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Collaboration has reported a keV nuclear-recoil candidate for which endothermic dark matter (DM) gives some of the largest local significances. We study S…
Dark Matter at the Kinematic Edge: Interpreting the 248 keV LZ Nuclear-Recoil Candidate
Mattia Di Mauro
The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) Collaboration recently reported one event consistent with a keV nuclear recoil in a tonne-year exposure, with a maximum local significance of $3.4σ…
A geometric origin for the radiative neutrino portal to secluded dark matter
Mattia Di Mauro
We study a secluded dark-matter scenario in which the smallness of laboratory signals is linked to the origin of neutrino masses. In the four-dimensional theory, the dark sector co…

We provide the cosmic-ray (CR) fluxes of antiprotons and antideuterons produced by the Galactic annihilation or decay of weak-scale dark matter (DM) particles of masses in the rang…
Legacy analysis of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies: an update
A. Circiello, M. Di Mauro, M. Ajello +3
Studies of Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) data coincident with dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies (dSphs) of the Milky Way (MW) have put the most stringent constraints on models…
A Precise Measurement of the Fermi-LAT Galactic Center Excess Morphology and Spectrum
Mattia Di Mauro
We present a new Fermi-LAT analysis of the Galactic-center excess (GCE) designed to substantially reduce the dominant systematic uncertainties associated with interstellar-emission…
Strong Constraints on Millisecond Pulsar Injection Spectra from Fermi-LAT Observations of the Galactic Center
Jordan Koechler, Pedro De la Torre Luque, Mattia Di Mauro
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are a leading explanation of the Galactic Center excess (GCE) observed in Fermi-LAT data. We constrain this scenario by jointly modeling prompt and inver…
Revisiting predictions for cosmic-ray antinucleon fluxes from Galactic Dark Matter
Lorenzo Stefanuto, Mattia Di Mauro, Fiorenza Donato +3
The data on cosmic antiprotons have reached an outstanding precision on energies spanning from GeV to hundreds of TeV, thanks to the space-based AMS-02 experiment. The balloon-born…
