Plenary

In this talk, I will present a few novel aspects of dark matter phenomenology, using for illustrative purpose Dark QED, a hidden sector (HS) toy model with fermionic DM interacting with a massive dark photon. I will first discuss a production mechanism valid if the HS interact with the Standard Model with a feeble kinetic mixing parameter. The production mechanism is called sequential...

242. Direct Detection of sub-MeV Dark Matter

Plenary

Conventional semiconductor detectors used for light dark matter detection via ionization signals lose sensitivity for dark matter masses below an MeV, for which the energy deposited in a scattering event falls below the bandgap. We propose to overcome this limitation by introducing dopants in the semiconductor target. Dopants have ionization energies that lie orders of magnitude below typical...
