Dark Matter Direct Detection with Quantum Dots
Carlos Blanco, Rouven Essig, Marivi Fernandez-Serra +2
We propose using Quantum Dots as novel targets to probe sub-GeV dark matter-electron interactions. Quantum dots are nanocrystals of semiconducting material, which are commercially…
Dynamics of Stellar Disk Tilting from Satellite Mergers
Benjamin C. Dodge, Oren Slone, Mariangela Lisanti +1
The Milky Way's stellar disk can tilt in response to torques that result from infalling satellite galaxies and their associated tidal debris. In this work, we explore the dynamics…
A semi-analytic study of self-interacting dark-matter haloes with baryons
Fangzhou Jiang, Andrew Benson, Philip F. Hopkins +8
We combine the isothermal Jeans model and the model of adiabatic halo contraction into a simple semi-analytic procedure for computing the density profile of self-interacting dark-m…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier: The landscape of low-threshold dark matter direct detection in the next decade
Rouven Essig, Graham K. Giovanetti, Noah Kurinsky +90
The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress,…
A Critical Assessment of Solutions to the Galaxy Diversity Problem
Aidan Zentner, Siddharth Dandavate, Oren Slone +1
Galactic rotation curves exhibit a diverse range of inner slopes. Observational data indicates that explaining this diversity may require a mechanism that correlates a galaxy's sur…
