  1. 32. Gravitational Waves from Nnaturalness

  2. 9. Boosted Dark Matter Resonant Scattering Theory
    Zachary Orr (Colorado State University)

    We study the physics of the intermediate scattering regime for boosted dark matter (BDM) interacting with standard model (SM) target nucleons. The phenomenon of BDM, which is consistent with many possible DM models, occurs when DM particles receive a Lorentz boost from some process. BDM may then have relativistic speeds at terrestrial based neutrino detectors and may produce (in)direct DM...

  3. 15. Quantitative Assessment of Microphonic Effects on Signal Integrity in High-Q Experiments for Dark Sector Searches
    Stephen Henrich (University of Minnesota)
    14/10/2023, 15:43

    In the pursuit of dark sector phenomena, particularly in the ultralight regime, high-Q experiments offer promising enhancements to signal sensitivity under ideal conditions. However, these experiments also introduce complex challenges related to frequency matching and stabilization. One such challenge is the frequency deviation induced by microphonics, colloquially referred to as "jittering,"...

  4. 28. The Power of the Dark Sink
    Robert McGehee (University of Minnesota)
    14/10/2023, 16:01

    I will present a novel, simple possibility with broad implications for the predicted signals of non-thermal dark matter (DM) production scenarios: the Dark Sink. The addition of this dark-sector entropy sink may significantly increase the expected signals as I will demonstrate for well-known direct detection benchmarks with $\mathcal{O}(\text{MeV})-\mathcal{O}(\text{TeV})$ DM.
