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 …

Dark matter elastic scattering off nuclei can result in the excitation and ionization of the
recoiling atom through the so-called Migdal effect. The energy deposition from the ionization …

Many low-threshold experiments observe sharply rising event rates of yet unknown origins
below a few hundred eV, and larger than expected from known backgrounds. Due to the …

We show that the rate for dark-matter–electron scattering in an arbitrary material is
determined by an experimentally measurable quantity, the complex dielectric function, for …

The EDELWEISS collaboration reports on the search for dark matter particle interactions via
Migdal effect with masses between 32 MeV· c-2 to 2 GeV· c-2 using a 200 g cryogenic Ge …

We present DarkELF, a python package to calculate interaction rates of light dark matter in
dielectric materials, including screening effects. The full response of the material is …

A bstract Dark matter scattering off a nucleus has a small probability of inducing an
observable ionization through the inelastic excitation of an electron, called the Migdal effect …

The Oscura experiment will lead the search for low-mass dark matter particles using a very
large array of novel silicon Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) with a threshold of two …

We report on the search for weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter
candidates in the galactic halo that interact with sodium and iodine nuclei in the COSINE …

Large composite dark matter states source a scalar binding field that, when coupled to
Standard Model nucleons, provides a potential under which nuclei recoil and accelerate to …
