The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in
contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the …

Exploring new physics with O (keV) electron recoils in direct detection experiments

IM Bloch, A Caputo, R Essig, D Redigolo… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by the recent XENON1T results, we explore various new physics models
that can be discovered through searches for electron recoils in\(\mathcal {O}\)(keV) …

New limits on dark photons from solar emission and keV scale dark matter

H An, M Pospelov, J Pradler, A Ritz - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We provide updates to the limits on solar emission of dark photons or more generally, any
light vector particle coupled to the electron vector current. The recent 2019 and 2020 …

Direct detection of dark energy: The XENON1T excess and future prospects

S Vagnozzi, L Visinelli, P Brax, AC Davis, J Sakstein - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We explore the prospects for direct detection of dark energy by current and upcoming
terrestrial dark matter direct detection experiments. If dark energy is driven by a new light …

Reexamining the solar axion explanation for the XENON1T excess

C Gao, J Liu, LT Wang, XP Wang, W Xue, YM Zhong - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The XENON1T collaboration has observed an excess in electronic recoil events below 5
keV over the known background, which could originate from beyond-the-standard-model …

New freezeout mechanism for strongly interacting dark matter

J Smirnov, JF Beacom - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We present a new mechanism for thermally produced dark matter, based on a semi-
annihilation-like process, χ+ χ+ SM→ χ+ SM, with intriguing consequences for the properties …

Electric but not eclectic: thermal relic dark matter for the XENON1T excess

J Bramante, N Song - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
The identity of dark matter is being sought with increasingly sensitive and voluminous
underground detectors. Recently the XENON1T Collaboration reported excess electronic …

Explaining the XENON1T excess with luminous dark matter

NF Bell, JB Dent, B Dutta, S Ghosh, J Kumar… - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We show that the excess in electron recoil events seen by the XENON1T experiment can be
explained by a relatively low-mass luminous dark matter candidate. The dark matter scatters …

Exothermic dark matter for XENON1T excess

HM Lee - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by the recent excess in the electron recoil from XENON1T experiment,
we consider the possibility of exothermic dark matter, which is composed of two states with …

[HTML][HTML] XENON1T excess in local Z2 DM models with light dark sector

S Baek, J Kim, P Ko - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract Recently XENON1T Collaboration announced that they observed some excess in
the electron recoil energy around a 2–3 keV. We show that this excess can be interpreted as …
