abstract

We search for dark matter (DM) with a mass [3,12] $\mathrm{GeV} / c^2$ using an exposure of 3.51 $\mathrm{t} \times \mathrm{y}$ with the XENONnT experiment.We consider spin-independent DM-nucleon interactions mediated by a heavy or light mediator, spin-dependent DM-neutron interactions, momentum-dependent DM scattering, and mirror DM. Using a lowered energy threshold compared to the previous WIMP search, a blind analysis of [0.5, 5.0] $\mathrm{keV}$ nuclear recoil events reveals no significant signal excess over the background. XENONnT excludes spin-independent DM-nucleon cross sections $>2.5 \times 10^{-45} \mathrm{~cm}^2$ at $90 \%$ confidence level for 6 $\mathrm{GeV} / c^2$ DM. In the considered mass range, the DM sensitivity approaches the 'neutrino fog', the limitation where neutrinos produce a signal that is indistinguishable from that of light DM-xenon nucleus scattering.

    nucl-ex 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new delayed-coincidence tag from 136Cs isomers could let the nEXO detector reject backgrounds down to 10^-9 and measure CNO solar neutrinos, the 7Be neutrino energy, and sub-MeV fermionic dark matter.

  5. Uncertainties in tellurium-based dark matter searches stemming from nuclear structure uncertainties

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nuclear shell-model uncertainties cause over 100% uncertainties on some tellurium-based dark matter coupling limits, comparable to xenon, while leaving the annual modulation phase unchanged.

  6. Photonic Freeze-In

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark matter can be produced by photon annihilation through a loop-generated F² operator, a new photonic freeze-in scenario that is testable at low reheat temperatures.

  7. Neutrino electromagnetic properties and sterile dipole portal in light of the first solar CE$\nu$NS data

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives the first 90% CL limits on neutrino magnetic moments, millicharges, and the sterile dipole portal from solar 8B CEνNS data in XENONnT and PandaX-4T.
