We investigate direct detection signatures of dark matter particles interacting with quarks via a light spin-0 mediator with general CP phases. Since tree-level scattering may be strongly suppressed in the non-relativistic limit, loop contributions play an important role and can lead to observable signals in near-future experiments. We study the phenomenology of different mediator masses and CP phases with an emphasis on scenarios with maximal CP violation and Higgs portal models. Intriguingly, the sum of the rates obtained at tree- and loop-level can give a characteristic recoil spectrum not obtainable from a single type of interaction. We furthermore develop a novel method for decomposing the two-loop contribution to effective interactions between dark matter and gluons into two separate one-loop diagrams, which in our case substantially simplifies the calculation of the important top-quark contribution.

Electroweak Corrections to Dark Matter Direct Detection in a Vector Dark Matter Model
One-loop electroweak corrections to spin-independent dark matter-nucleon scattering in a U(1)χ vector dark matter model are computed; they reach K-factors around 2.5 and can move otherwise allowed parameter points abo...

Probing Light Dark Particles in Neutrino Scattering Experiments
A dark fermion produced in neutrino scattering could be probed at DUNE's near detector up to cutoff scales near 1 TeV, beyond CHARM II and LEP, while current COHERENT/CONUS+ limits stay below LHC bounds.

WIMPs Below the Radar: Blind Spots and Benchmarks Beyond the Neutrino Floor
In three WIMP models, blind spots and loop corrections keep spin-independent scattering below current bounds and, in parts of parameter space, below the neutrino floor, while satisfying thermal relic density.
