Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors—nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent
damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage …

Direct detection experiments obtain 90% upper limits on the elastic scattering cross sections
of dark matter with nucleons assuming point-like interactions and standard astrophysical …

We consider the treatment of fermionic dark matter interacting with photons via dimension-5
and-6 effective operators, arguing that one should always use hypercharge gauge field form …

Paleo-detectors are a recently proposed method for the direct detection of dark matter (DM).
In such detectors, one would search for the persistent damage features left by DM–nucleus …

The advent of the Gaia era has led to potentially revolutionary understanding of dark matter
(DM) dynamics in our galaxy, which has important consequences for direct detection (DD) …

We carry out a Bayesian analysis of dark matter (DM) direct detection data to determine
particle model parameters using the Truncated Marginal Neural Ratio Estimation (TMNRE) …

We provide a first systematic and quantitative discussion of the phenomenology of the
nonrelativistic effective Hamiltonian describing the nuclear scattering process for a weakly …

We investigate how the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) impacts the predicted signals in near-
future direct detection experiments for non-standard dark matter (DM) interactions, using the …

A manual for computations in direct Dark Matter detection phenomenology. Featuring self-
contained sections on non-relativistic expansion, elastic and inelastic scattering kinematics …

There is no known reason that dark matter interactions with the Standard Model should
couple to neutrons and protons in the same way. This isospin violation can have large …
