Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Calibrations and backgrounds for dark matter direct detection

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky

| First 5 Authors: Daniel Baxter, Raymond Bunker, Sally Shaw, Shawn Westerdale, Isaac Arnquist

| Summary:

Future dark matter direct detection experiments will reach unprecedented
levels of sensitivity. Achieving this sensitivity will require more precise
models of signal and background rates in future detectors. Improving the
precision of signal and background modeling goes hand-in-hand with novel
calibration techniques that can probe rare processes and lower threshold
detector response. The goal of this white paper is to outline community needs
to meet the background and calibration requirements of next-generation dark
matter direct detection experiments.
