Feebly-interacting particles: FIPs 2020 workshop report

P. Agrawal, +51 more
TL;DR: FIPs 2020 as mentioned in this paper was the first workshop dedicated to the physics of feebly-interacting particles and was held virtually from 31 August to 4 September 2020 at CERN, where experts from collider, beam dump, fixed target experiments, as well as from astrophysics, axions/ALPs searches, current/future neutrino experiments, and dark matter direct detection communities participated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Migdal Effect in Semiconductors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first complete derivation of the Migdal effect from dark matter-nucleus scattering in semiconductors, which also accounts for multiphonon production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dark matter-electron scattering in dielectrics

TL;DR: In this article, an alternate formulation of the dark matter-electron scattering in terms of the dielectric response of a material was presented, which automatically accounts for in-medium screening effects, which were not included in previous rate calculations for semiconductor targets.

DarkELF: A python package for dark matter scattering in dielectric targets

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a python package to calculate interaction rates of light dark matter in dielectric materials, including screening effects, by parametrized in terms of the energy loss function (ELF) of material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perturbative benchmark models for a dark shower search program

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide five benchmark hidden valley models with perturbative parton showers, which span a wide range of dark shower phenomenology, and consider production through an $s$-channel, heavy mediator, which can be identified with the SM Higgs.
