Characterizing Precipitation Behaviors of H− in the Martian Atmosphere

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 129, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Solar wind protons can charge exchange with the extensive hydrogen corona of Mars, resulting in a significant flux of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs). As these solar wind hydrogen ENAs precipitate into the upper atmosphere, they can experience electron attachment or detachment, resulting in populations of H− and H+, respectively, with upstream ...

Dark Matter Direct Detection with Non-Maxwellian Velocity Structure [PDF]

, 2009
The velocity distribution function of dark matter particles is expected to show significant departures from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. This can have profound effects on the predicted dark matter - nucleon scattering rates in direct detection ...

Quasiparticle Diffusion in CRESST Light Detectors [PDF]

Journal of Low Temperature Physics, 2016
CRESST-II is a direct dark matter experiment that uses scintillating calorimeters to detect WIMP-induced nuclear scatter processes. Heat and light signals are read out with tungsten transition edge sensors (TESs) that are optimized toward their sensitivity to non-thermal phonons.

Peaked Signals from Dark Matter Velocity Structures in Direct Detection Experiments

, 2010
In direct dark matter detection experiments, conventional elastic scattering of WIMPs results in exponentially falling recoil spectra. In contrast, theories of WIMPs with excited states can lead to nuclear recoil spectra that peak at finite recoil ...

Halo independent comparison of direct dark matter detection data [PDF]

, 2012
We extend the halo-independent method of Fox, Liu, and Weiner to include energy resolution and efficiency with arbitrary energy dependence, making it more suitable for experiments to use in presenting their results. Then we compare measurements and upper

Negative Lags on the Viscous Timescale in Quasar Photometry and Prospects for Detecting More with LSST

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The variability of quasar light curves can be used to study the structure of quasar accretion disks. For example, continuum reverberation mapping uses delays between variability in short and long wavelength bands ( short lags) to measure the radial ...

Chasing a consistent picture for dark matter direct searches

, 2012
In this paper we assess the present status of dark matter direct searches by means of Bayesian statistics. We consider three particle physics models for spin-independent dark matter interaction with nuclei: elastic, inelastic and isospin violating ...

Signatures of Earth-scattering in the direct detection of Dark Matter [PDF]

, 2017
Direct detection experiments search for the interactions of Dark Matter (DM) particles with nuclei in terrestrial detectors. But if these interactions are sufficiently strong, DM particles may scatter in the Earth, affecting their distribution in the lab.
