To directly detect dark matter significantly lighter than a GeV, experiments must utilize the sub-eV energy excitations in condensed matter systems. Phonons, collective excitations of lattice vibrations, naturally have energies in the 1-100 meV range and are promising targets for spin-independent dark matter interactions. However, their response is generally suppressed for spin-dependent dark...

Kevin Pedro (Fermi National Accelerator Lab. (US))

There has been a surge of interest in hidden valley models with new, strong forces, sometimes called "dark QCD". These models propose asymmetric, composite dark matter in the form of "dark hadrons" that would evade direct and indirect bounds as well as typical collider DM searches for large missing transverse momentum accompanied by radiation. However, evidence of these models can still be...
