Directional detection of dark matter with anisotropic response functions
Christian Boyd, Yonit Hochberg, Yonatan Kahn +4
Direct detection for sub-GeV dark matter is developing rapidly, with many novel experimental ideas and theoretical methods emerging. In this work, we extend the dielectric formalis…
Glueballs in a Thermal Squeezeout Model
Pouya Asadi, Eric David Kramer, Eric Kuflik +2
It has been shown that a first order confinement phase transition can drastically change the relic dark matter abundance in confining dark sectors with only heavy dark quarks. We s…
Holographic Complexity and de Sitter Space
Shira Chapman, Damián A. Galante, Eric David Kramer
We compute the length of spacelike geodesics anchored at opposite sides of certain double-sided flow geometries in two dimensions. These geometries are asymptotically anti-de Sitte…
Directional Detection of Light Dark Matter in Superconductors
Yonit Hochberg, Eric David Kramer, Noah Kurinsky +1
Superconducting detectors have been proposed as outstanding targets for the direct detection of light dark matter scattering at masses as low as a keV. We study the prospects for d…
Accidentally Asymmetric Dark Matter
Pouya Asadi, Eric David Kramer, Eric Kuflik +3
We study the effect of a first-order phase transition in a confining dark sector with heavy dark quarks. The baryons of this sector are the dark matter candidate. During th…
Thermal Squeezeout of Dark Matter
Pouya Asadi, Eric David Kramer, Eric Kuflik +3
We carry out a detailed study of the confinement phase transition in a dark sector with a gauge group and a single generation of dark heavy quark. We focus on heavy enough…
Heavy Thermal Relics from Zombie Collisions
Eric David Kramer, Eric Kuflik, Noam Levi +2
We propose a new thermal freezeout mechanism which results in dark matter masses exceeding the unitarity bound by many orders of magnitude, without violating perturbative unitarity…
Revisiting the Dark Matter - Comet Shower Connection
Eric David Kramer, Michael Rowan
We revisit the question of whether the observed periodicity of comet impacts on Earth is consistent with Solar oscillation about the Galactic midplane and spiral arm crossings, her…
Updated Kinematic Constraints on a Dark Disk
Eric David Kramer, Lisa Randall
We update the method of the Holmberg & Flynn (2000) study, including an updated model of the Milky Way's interstellar gas, radial velocities, an updated reddening map, and a carefu…
Interstellar Gas and a Dark Disk
Eric David Kramer, Lisa Randall
We introduce a potentially powerful method for constraining or discovering a thin dark matter disk in the Milky Way. The method relies on the relationship between the midplane dens…
