Abstract:Sub-MeV cold dark-matter particles are unable to produce electronic recoil in conventional
dark-matter direct detection experiments such as XENONnT and LUX-ZEPLIN above the detector
threshold. The mechanism of boosted dark matter comes into picture to constrain the parameter
space of such low mass dark matter from direct detection experiments. We consider the effect of
the leading components of cosmic rays to boost the cold dark matter, which results in significant
improvements on the exclusion lim… Show more
