Nuclear Recoil Calibration at Sub-keV Energies in LUX and Its Impact on Dark Matter Search Sensitivity

Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | First 5 Authors: LUX Collaboration, D. S. Akerib, S. Alsum, H. M. Araújo, X. Bai | Summary: Dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) detectors offer heightened sensitivities for dark matter detection across a spectrum of particle masses. To broaden their capability to low-mass dark matter interactions, we investigated the […]

Testing the mean field theory of scalar field dark matter

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Andrew Eberhardt, Alvaro Zamora, Michael Kopp, Tom Abel, | Summary: Scalar field dark matter offers an interesting alternative to the traditional WIMP dark matter picture. Astrophysical and cosmological simulations are useful to constraining the mass of the dark matter particle in this model. This is particularly true […]

BICEP / Keck XVI: Characterizing Dust Polarization through Correlations with Neutral Hydrogen

Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H I) observations. Dust polarization is important for both our understanding of astrophysical processes in […]
