Direct detection of strongly interacting sub-GeV dark matter via electron recoils

T Emken, R Essig, C Kouvaris… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider direct-detection searches for sub-GeV dark matter via electron scatterings in
the presence of large interactions between dark and ordinary matter. Scatterings both on …

Looking forward to millicharged dark sectors at the LHC

S Foroughi-Abari, F Kling, YD Tsai - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We identify what may be the world's most sensitive location to search for millicharged
particles in the 10 MeV to 100 GeV mass range: the forward region at the LHC. We propose …

Constraints on millicharged particles from cosmic-ray production

R Plestid, V Takhistov, YD Tsai, T Bringmann… - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We study cosmic-ray-atmosphere collisions as a permanent production source of exotic
millicharged particles (MCPs) for all terrestrial experiments.[MCPs are also known as …

Cosmology of sub-MeV dark matter freeze-in

C Dvorkin, T Lin, K Schutz - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Dark matter (DM) could be a relic of freeze-in through a light mediator, where the DM is
produced by extremely feeble, IR-dominated processes in the thermal standard model …

Solar reflection of dark matter

H An, H Nie, M Pospelov, J Pradler, A Ritz - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The scattering of light dark matter off thermal electrons inside the Sun produces a “fast”
subcomponent of the dark matter flux that may be detectable in underground experiments …

Constraints on millicharged dark matter and axionlike particles from timing of radio waves

A Caputo, L Sberna, M Frias, D Blas, P Pani, L Shao… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We derive constraints on millicharged dark matter and axionlike particles using pulsar timing
and fast radio burst observations. For dark matter particles of charge ε e, the constraint from …

matter direct-detection experiments that utilize single-electron threshold semiconductor …

Hadrophilic light dark matter from the atmosphere

CA Arguëlles, V Muñoz, IM Shoemaker, V Takhistov - Physics Letters B, 2022 - Elsevier
