Freezing In, Heating Up, and Freezing Out: Predictive Nonthermal Dark Matter and Low-Mass Direct Detection

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, , , , | Summary: Freeze-in dark matter (DM) mediated by a light ($ll$ keV) weakly-coupled dark-photon is an important benchmark for the emerging low-mass direct detection program. Since this is one of the only predictive, detectable freeze-in models, we investigate how robustly such testability […]

Soft self-assembly of Weyl materials for light and sound

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Wiesner | First 5 Authors: Michel Fruchart, Seung-Yeol Jeon, Kahyun Hur, Vadim Cheianov, Ulrich Wiesner | Summary: Soft materials can self-assemble into highly structured phases which replicate at the mesoscopic scale the symmetry of atomic crystals. As such, they offer an unparalleled platform to design mesostructured materials for light and sound. Here, […]
