abstract

Recently a dark matter-electron (DM-electron) paradigm has drawn much attention. Models beyond the standard halo model describing DM accelerated by high energy celestial bodies are under intense examination as well. In this Letter, a velocity components analysis (VCA) method dedicated to swift analysis of accelerated DM-electron interactions via semiconductor detectors is proposed and the first HPGe detector-based accelerated DM-electron analysis is realized. Utilizing the method, the first germanium based constraint on sub-GeV solar reflected DM-electron interaction is presented with the 205.4 kg$\cdot$day dataset from the CDEX-10 experiment. In the heavy mediator scenario, our result excels in the mass range of 5$-$15 keV/$c^2$, achieving a 3 orders of magnitude improvement comparing with previous semiconductor experiments. In the light mediator scenario, the strongest laboratory constraint for DM lighter than 0.1 MeV/$c^2$ is presented. The result proves the feasibility and demonstrates the vast potential of the VCA technique in future accelerated DM-electron analyses with semiconductor detectors.

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    With ~1.3 kg-day of DAMIC-M skipper-CCD data, solar-reflected dark matter yields 90% CL limits on the DM-electron cross section reaching 3.16e-37 cm2 at 0.1 MeV for an ultralight mediator.

  3. Simulation of dark scalar particle sensitivity in $\eta$ rare decay channels at HIAF

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A one-month HIAF simulation projects branching-ratio upper limits of about 10^-9 (e+e-) and 10^-6 (pi pi) for eta decays to a dark scalar, with parameter sensitivities beyond current bounds.
