Novel direct detection constraints on light dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive novel constraints from the inevitable existence of a subdominant, but highly energetic, component of particle dark matter generated through collisions with cosmic rays, which limits the DM-nucleon scattering cross-section to be below the threshold for both spinindependent and spindependent scattering of light DM.

Abstract: All attempts to directly detect particle dark matter (DM) scattering on nuclei suffer from the partial or total loss of sensitivity for DM masses in the GeV range or below. We derive novel constraints from the inevitable existence of a subdominant, but highly energetic, component of DM generated through collisions with cosmic rays. Subsequent scattering inside conventional DM detectors, as well as neutrino detectors sensitive to nuclear recoils, limits the DM-nucleon scattering cross section to be below ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}31}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ for both spin-independent and spin-dependent scattering of light DM.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors discuss avenues to resolve these excesses, with actions the field can take over the next several years, and discuss how to resolve the excesses in the future.
Inelastic Dirac dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper , a new model with two Dirac fermions in the MeV-GeV mass range is introduced, where the freeze-out is driven by conversion processes like coscattering, rather than coannihilation.
Unveiling the nature of dark matter with direct detection experiments
V. Zema
- 01 Jan 2020
TL;DR: In this article, Bahcall et al. explored the hypothesis that DM is made of new particles beyond the standard model, and provided a significant extension of the pulse shape model currently used by CRESST and COSINUS in order to explain experimental observations related to the COSinus detector response.

Optimizing energetic light dark matter searches in dark matter and neutrino experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, a dark gauge boson is adopted as the particle to mediate the interactions between the Standard Model particles and boosted dark matter, and the signal sensitivity of the two channels highly depends on the (mass-)parameter region to probe, so search strategies and channels should be designed sensibly especially at the earlier stage of experiments.

Speeding Up Dark Matter With Solar Neutrinos
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a mechanism of using solar neutrinos to speed up dark matter, inspired by the fact that neutrino are the most energetic particles from the Sun with a well-understood spectrum.

The Structure of cold dark matter halos
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution N-body simulations show that the density profiles of dark matter halos formed in the standard CDM cosmogony can be fit accurately by scaling a simple universal profile.

Particle dark matter: Evidence, candidates and constraints
TL;DR: The current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations, including direct and indirect detection techniques, is discussed in this paper. But the authors focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in universal extra dimensions.

The Structure of Cold Dark Matter Halos
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use N-body simulations to investigate the structure of dark halos in the standard Cold Dark Matter cosmogony, and they find that the density of a halo correlates strongly with the halo mass.
