  1. CMB Limits on the Absorption of Light Vector and Axial-Vector Dark Matter

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Planck CMB data set upper limits on vector and axial-vector dark matter-electron couplings for masses 100 eV to 100 keV via energy injection from inelastic scattering and hydrogen absorption.

  2. Electronic Direct Detection of Light Dark Matter with Intermediate-Mass Mediators

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    For sub-GeV dark matter, the light and heavy mediator mass limits in direct detection are separated by up to three orders of magnitude in mediator mass, enabling precise sensitivity calculations for Si, Ge, and DAMIC-...
