A High Efficiency Photon Veto for the Light Dark Matter eXperiment
Torsten Åkesson, Nikita Blinov, Lene Bryngemark +28
Fixed-target experiments using primary electron beams can be powerful discovery tools for light dark matter in the sub-GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is de…
Imprints of the Early Universe on Axion Dark Matter Substructure
Nikita Blinov, Matthew J. Dolan, Patrick Draper
Despite considerable experimental progress large parts of the axion-like particle (ALP) parameter space remain difficult to probe in terrestrial experiments. In some cases, however…
Dark Matter Targets for Axion-like Particle Searches
Nikita Blinov, Matthew J. Dolan, Patrick Draper +1
Many existing and proposed experiments targeting QCD axion dark matter (DM) can also search for a broad class of axion-like particles (ALPs). We analyze the experimental sensitivit…
Constraining the Self-Interacting Neutrino Interpretation of the Hubble Tension
Nikita Blinov, Kevin J. Kelly, Gordan Krnjaic +1
Large, non-standard neutrino self-interactions have been shown to resolve the tension in Hubble constant measurements and a milder tension in the amplitude of matter fluc…
Dark Sector Equilibration During Nucleosynthesis
Asher Berlin, Nikita Blinov, Shirley Weishi Li
Light, weakly-coupled dark sectors may be naturally decoupled in the early universe and enter equilibrium with the Standard Model bath during the epoch of primordial nucleosynthesi…
