Weighing the Solar Axion
Theopisti Dafni, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Biljana Lakić +7
Axion helioscopes search for solar axions and axion-like particles via inverse Primakoff conversion in strong laboratory magnets pointed at the Sun. While helioscopes can always me…
SHM: A Refinement of the Standard Halo Model for Dark Matter Searches in Light of the Gaia Sausage
N. Wyn Evans, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Christopher McCabe
Predicting signals in experiments to directly detect dark matter (DM) requires a form for the local DM velocity distribution. Hitherto, the standard halo model (SHM), in which velo…
A Dark Matter Hurricane: Measuring the S1 Stream with Dark Matter Detectors
Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Christopher McCabe, N. Wyn Evans +2
The recently discovered S1 stream passes through the Solar neighbourhood on a low inclination, counter-rotating orbit. The progenitor of S1 is a dwarf galaxy with a total mass comp…
Directional axion detection
Stefan Knirck, Alexander J. Millar, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare +2
We develop a formalism to describe extensions of existing axion haloscope designs to those that possess directional sensitivity to incoming dark matter axion velocities. The effect…
Stellar kinematics from the symmetron fifth force in the Milky Way disk
Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Clare Burrage
It has been shown that the presence of non-minimally coupled scalar fields giving rise to a fifth force can noticeably alter dynamics on galactic scales. Such a fifth force must be…
