Broad-Range Directional Detection of Light Dark Matter in Cryogenic Ice
Nora Taufertshöfer, Maurice Garcia-Sciveres, Sinéad M. Griffin
We propose hexagonal ice (HO) as a new target for light dark matter (DM) direct detection. Ice, a polar material, is suitable for single phonon detection through DM scattering…
Extended Calculation of Dark Matter-Electron Scattering in Crystal Targets
Sinéad M. Griffin, Katherine Inzani, Tanner Trickle +2
We extend the calculation of dark matter direct detection rates via electronic transitions in general dielectric crystal targets, combining state-of-the-art density functional theo…
Axion-matter coupling in multiferroics
Henrik S. Røising, Benjo Fraser, Sinéad M. Griffin +4
Multiferroics (MFs) are materials with two or more ferroic orders, like spontaneous ferroelectric and ferromagnetic polarizations. Such materials can exhibit a magnetoelectric effe…
SiC Detectors for Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Sinéad M. Griffin, Yonit Hochberg, Katherine Inzani +3
We propose the use of silicon carbide (SiC) for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. SiC has properties similar to both silicon and diamond, but has two key advantages: (i) it…
Multi-Channel Direct Detection of Light Dark Matter: Target Comparison
Sinead M. Griffin, Katherine Inzani, Tanner Trickle +2
Direct detection experiments for light dark matter are making enormous leaps in reaching previously unexplored model space. Several recent proposals rely on collective excitations,…
Multi-Channel Direct Detection of Light Dark Matter: Theoretical Framework
Tanner Trickle, Zhengkang Zhang, Kathryn M. Zurek +2
We present a unified theoretical framework for computing spin-independent direct detection rates via various channels relevant for sub-GeV dark matter -- nuclear recoils, electron…
