Coherence from interference: a solvable model of sub-GeV dark matter-nucleus scattering
Lynn Lin, Tongyan Lin, Momei Fang
How do dark matter-nucleus interactions transition from the regimes of coherent scattering, where single phonons are produced, to that of individual nuclear recoils? Answering this…

Impact of Dynamical Charm Quark and Mixed Action Effect on Light Hadron Masses and Decay Constants
Tong-Wei Lin, Zun-Xian Zhang, Mengchu Cai +8
We investigate the impact of including a dynamical charm quark on the properties of light hadrons. Our study compares the calculations performed on 2+1+1 flavor (HISQ fermion) ense…

Spin-Dependent Scattering of Sub-GeV Dark Matter: Models and Constraints
Stefania Gori, Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin +2
We calculate the scattering rate of sub-GeV dark matter in solid-state targets for spin-dependent dark matter -- nucleon interactions. For dark matter particles with mass below 100…
