abstract

Large composite dark matter states source a scalar binding field that, when coupled to Standard Model nucleons, provides a potential under which nuclei recoil and accelerate to energies capable of ionization, radiation, and thermonuclear reactions. We show that these dynamics are detectable for nucleon couplings as small as $g_n \sim 10^{-17}$ at dark matter experiments, where the greatest sensitivity is attained by considering the Migdal effect. We also explore Type-Ia supernovae and planetary heating as possible means to discover this type of dark matter.

  1. Probing Supernova Neutrino Boosted Dark Matter with Collective Excitation

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Galactic supernova neutrino boosted dark matter can produce plasmon excitations in silicon detectors, improving sub-MeV dark matter sensitivity by 3 to 4 orders of magnitude over Super-K.

  2. Migdal Ionization as a Probe of Light Dark Matter from Nuclear Transition

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Migdal ionization of reactor-produced sub-MeV dark matter in TEXONO germanium yields new 95% C.L. limits on the reference DM–proton cross section for 0.01 MeV ≤ mχ ≲ 2.6 MeV.
