Kavli Affiliate: Daniel S. Akerib | 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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Monica Valluri, Solene Chabanier, Vid Irsic, Eric Armengaud, Michael Walther | Summary: Despite efforts over several decades, direct-detection experiments have not yet led to the discovery of the dark matter (DM) particle. This has led to increasing interest in alternatives to the Lambda CDM (LCDM) paradigm and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer, Carolyn Kierans, Tiffany R. Lewis | Summary: Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about particle acceleration in environments so extreme they cannot be […]
