A strategy for optimal material identification in solar dark photon absorption
Theresa M. Backes, Riccardo Catena, Michael Krämer
Dark photons with masses in the 1-100 eV range can be produced in the Sun and subsequently absorbed in terrestrial detectors, offering a promising avenue for probing hidden-sector…
Resonant or asymmetric: The status of sub-GeV dark matter
Sowmiya Balan, Csaba Balázs, Torsten Bringmann +9
Sub-GeV dark matter (DM) particles produced via thermal freeze-out evade many of the strong constraints on heavier DM candidates but at the same time face a multitude of new constr…
Spin-1 Thermal Targets for Dark Matter Searches at Beam Dump and Fixed Target Experiments
Riccardo Catena, Taylor R. Gray
The current framework for dark matter searches at beam dump and fixed target experiments relies on four benchmark models, the complex scalar, inelastic scalar, pseudo-Dirac and fin…
Direct searches for general dark matter-electron interactions with graphene detectors: Part II. Sensitivity studies
Riccardo Catena, Timon Emken, Marek Matas +2
We use a formalism that describes electron ejections from graphene-like targets by dark matter (DM) scattering for general forms of scalar and spin 1/2 DM-electron interactions in…
Direct searches for general dark matter-electron interactions with graphene detectors: Part I. Electronic structure calculations
Riccardo Catena, Timon Emken, Marek Matas +2
We develop a formalism to describe electron ejections from graphene-like targets by dark matter (DM) scattering for general forms of scalar and spin 1/2 DM-electron interactions an…
Chiral phonons as dark matter detectors
Carl P. Romao, Riccardo Catena, Nicola A. Spaldin +1
We propose a method for detecting single chiral phonons that will enable their use as dark-matter detectors. We suggest metal--organic frameworks (MOFs) as detector materials, as t…
