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.

Monochromatic dark neutrinos and boosted dark matter in noble liquid direct detection
David McKeen,Nirmal Raj +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a future multi-ten-tonne liquid xenon detector such as DARWIN, and a multi-hundred-toronne liquid argon detector, ARGO, would be sensitive to the flux of these particles in complementary ranges of $10-1000$ MeV dark matter masses.
Cosmic-ray upscattered inelastic dark matter
Nicole F. Bell,James B. Dent,Bhaskar Dutta,Sumit Ghosh,Jason Kumar,Jayden L. Newstead,Ian M. Shoemaker +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the cosmic-ray dark matter formalism to models of inelastic dark matter and show that previously inaccessible regions of the mass-splitting p arameter space can be probed.
Millicharged cosmic rays and low recoil detectors
Roni Harnik,Ryan Plestid,Ryan Plestid,Maxim Pospelov,Harikrishnan Ramani,Harikrishnan Ramani,Harikrishnan Ramani +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the production of a ''fast flux'' of hypothetical millicharged particles (mCPs) in the interstellar medium, and calculate the expected signal for direct dark matter detection aimed at electron recoil.
Solar wind bremsstrahlung off dark matter in our Solar System
Liying Qiu
- 09 Mar 2022
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors consider the possibility that the solar wind emits photons via bremsstrahlung when colliding with dark matter particles within the solar system and calculate the photon rate an observer would detect on Earth or at the edge of the Solar System as a function of photon energy.
Probing earth-bound dark matter with nuclear reactors
Yohei Ema,Emmanuel Stamou,Anupam Ray +2 more
TL;DR: Researchers investigate dark matter properties through upscattering by fast neutrons in nuclear reactors, finding existing experiments cover new parameter space for strongly-interacting dark matter, with potential for further sensitivity from research reactors with lesser shielding.

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.
