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 parametrized in the […]
A number of direct detection experiments are searching for electron excitations created by the scattering of sub-GeV dark matter. We present an alternate formulation of dark matter-electron scattering in terms […]
Measuring the escape velocity of the Milky Way is critical in obtaining the mass of the Milky Way, understanding the dark matter velocity distribution, and building the dark matter density […]
The local escape velocity provides valuable inputs to the mass profile of the galaxy, and requires understanding the tail of the stellar speed distribution. Following Leonard & Tremaine, various works […]
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated examples of light, weakly coupled particles in theories beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we study long-lived ALPs coupled exclusively to leptons in the […]
