Identifying the nature of dark matter (DM) has long been a pressing question for particle
physics. In the face of ever-more-powerful exclusions and null results from large-exposure …

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large
number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC …

Direct detection experiments for light (sub-GeV) dark matter are making enormous leaps in
reaching previously unexplored theory space. The need for accurate characterizations of …

We extend the calculation of dark matter direct detection rates via electronic transitions in
