A next-generation liquid xenon observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics

J Aalbers, SS AbdusSalam, K Abe… - Journal of Physics G …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Stable massive particles at colliders

M Fairbairn, AC Kraan, DA Milstead, T Sjöstrand… - Physics Reports, 2007 - Elsevier
We review the theoretical motivations and experimental status of searches for stable
massive particles (SMPs) which could be sufficiently long-lived as to be directly detected at …

Possible interaction between baryons and dark-matter particles revealed by the first stars

R Barkana - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The cosmic radio-frequency spectrum is expected to show a strong absorption signal
corresponding to the 21-centimetre-wavelength transition of atomic hydrogen around …

Severely constraining dark-matter interpretations of the 21-cm anomaly

A Berlin, D Hooper, G Krnjaic, SD McDermott - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
The EDGES Collaboration has recently reported the detection of a stronger-than-expected
absorption feature in the global 21-cm spectrum, centered at a frequency corresponding to a …

TASI lectures on dark matter models and direct detection

T Lin - arxiv preprint arxiv:1904.07915, 2019 - arxiv.org
These lectures provide an introduction to models and direct detection of dark matter. We
summarize the general features and motivations for candidates in the full dark matter mass …

Probing sub-GeV dark matter-baryon scattering with cosmological observables

WL Xu, C Dvorkin, A Chael - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We derive new limits on the elastic scattering cross section between baryons and dark
matter using cosmic microwave background data from the Planck satellite and …

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 …

Constraining dark matter-baryon scattering with linear cosmology

C Dvorkin, K Blum, M Kamionkowski - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We derive constraints on elastic scattering between baryons and dark matter using the
cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from the Planck satellite and the Lyman-α forest …

Making dark matter out of light: freeze-in from plasma effects

C Dvorkin, T Lin, K Schutz - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
Dark matter (DM) could couple to particles in the Standard Model (SM) through a light vector
mediator. In the limit of small coupling, this portal could be responsible for producing the …

Dynamical friction of black holes in ultralight dark matter

R Vicente, V Cardoso - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In this work we derive simple closed-form expressions for the dynamical friction acting on
black holes moving through ultralight (scalar field) dark matter, covering both nonrelativistic …
