Migdal effect and photon bremsstrahlung in effective field theories of dark matter direct detection and coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering

Journal Article Bell, Nicole F. ; Dent, James B. ; Newstead, Jayden L. ; ... - Physical Review D

Dark matter direct detection experiments have limited sensitivity to light dark matter (below a few GeV), due to the challenges of lowering energy thresholds for the detection of nuclear recoil to belowmore »« less

Solar neutrinos as a signal and background in direct-detection experiments searching for sub-GeV dark matter with electron recoils

Journal Article Essig, Rouven ; Sholapurkar, Mukul ; Yu, Tien-Tien - Physical Review. D.

Direct-detection experiments sensitive to low-energy electron recoils from sub-GeV dark matter interactions will also be sensitive to solar neutrinos via coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering (CNS), since the recoiling nucleus can produce a small ionization signal. Solar neutrinos constitute both an interesting signal in their own right and a potential background to a dark matter search that cannot be controlled or reduced by improved shielding, material purification and handling, or improved detector design. We explore these two possibilities in detail for semiconductor (silicon and germanium) and xenon targets, considering several possibilities for the unmeasured ionization efficiency at low energies. For dark-matter-electron-scattering searches,more »« less

Dark matter effective field theory scattering in direct detection experiments

Journal Article Schneck, K. ; Cabrera, B. ; Cerdeno, D. G. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles and Fields, 91(9):Article No. 092004

We examine the consequences of the effective eld theory (EFT) of dark matter-nucleon scattering or current and proposed direct detection experiments. Exclusion limits on EFT coupling constants computed using the optimum interval method are presented for SuperCDMS Soudan, CDMS II, and LUX, and the necessity of combining results from multiple experiments in order to determine dark matter parameters is discussed. We demonstrate that spectral di*erences between the standard dark matter model and a general EFT interaction can produce a bias when calculating exclusion limits and when developing signal models for likelihood and machine learning techniques. We also discuss the implicationsmore »« less
