SUMMARY:Simon Knapen (IAS) "The Soft Frontier in Dark Matter Direct Detection"
DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT:\nSearches for high energy signatures from beyond the standard model physics have advanced greatly\, but a lot of ground remains to be covered for soft\, low energy signals. In the context of dark matter direct detection\, future single-phonon detectors will be sensitive to dark matter with a mass as low as roughly 10 keV. In this regime\, the conventional nuclear recoil picture no longer applies and new theoretical tools are needed to correctly calculate the scattering rate. I will discuss the prospects for detector concepts based on superfluid helium and polar material targets\, where in the latter case we find a large daily modulation of the scattering rate.
