93. DAMIC-M status and latest results

Carlos Centeno (IFCA (UC-CSIC))

DM Direct Detection

Contributed Talk

The DAMIC-M (DArk Matter In CCDs at Modane) experiment will use Skipper CCDs to search for low-mass (sub-GeV) dark matter underground at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM). With approximately 0.7 kg of silicon target mass and sub-electron energy resolution, the detector will exceed both the exposure and energy threshold (eV scale) of previous experiments. These capabilities will grant...

91. Searching for sub-GeV particle dark matter with Spherical Proportional Counters

DM Direct Detection

Contributed Talk

The NEWS-G collaboration is searching for light dark matter using spherical proportional counters [1]. Access to 50 MeV to 10 GeV mass range is enabled by the combination of single electron threshold, light gaseous targets (H, He, Ne), and highly radio-pure detector construction. Most recently, new constraints on spin-dependent
interactions of dark matter with protons were obtained [2] with...

59. BULLKID-DM: searching for light WIMP with monolithic arrays of silicon detectors

Angelo Cruciani (INFN Sezione Di Roma)

DM Direct Detection

Contributed Talk

BULLKID-DM is a new experiment aimed at searching for hypothetical
WIMP-like Dark-Matter particles with mass around 1 GeV or below and
cross-section with nucleons smaller than $10^{-41}$ cm$^{2}$. The
target detector consists of a stack of diced silicon phonon collectors,
acting as an array of particle absorbers sensed by multiplexed Kinetic
Inductance Detectors (KIDs). The target will...

90. Dark Matter Particle Flux in a Dynamically Self-consistent Milky Way Model

Lucijana Stanic (University of Zurich)

6/3/25, 1:05 PM

Galaxies, Dynamics and Cosmology

Contributed Talk

We present a dynamically self-consistent model of the Milky Way constrained by Gaia observations, which includes a radially anisotropic dark matter (DM) halo component. The component is the result of a galaxy merger and affects the DM velocity distribution functions, which in turn affects the measured DM flux in both heliocentric and geocentric reference frames. Comparing our model with...

76. Axion Search with RADES

Dr Jose María García Barceló (Max Planck Institut für Physik)

6/3/25, 1:25 PM

DM Direct Detection

Poster + Lightning Talk

The RADES (Relic Axion Detection Exploratory Setup) team originated in 2016 for the search of dark matter axions with haloscopes. Recently, the RADES collaboration has produced their most sensitive physics results for axion masses around 36.56 µeV. This team has made further research advances in topics such as the design of cylindrical (for operation at the MPP Bluefors system) and...
