Results of a Search for Sub-GeV Dark Matter Using 2013 LUX Data

Akerib, D. S., Alsum, S., Araújo, H. M. et al.

Understand

The scattering of dark matter (DM) particles with sub-GeV masses off nuclei is difficult to detect using liquid xenon-based DM search instruments because the energy transfer during nuclear recoils is smaller than the typical detector threshold.

However, the tree-level DM-nucleus scattering diagram can be accompanied by simultaneous emission of a Bremsstrahlung photon or a so-called "Migdal" electron.
These provide an electron recoil component to the experimental signature at higher energies than the corresponding nuclear recoil.
The presence of this signature allows liquid xenon detectors to use both the scintillation and the ionization signals in the analysis where the nuclear recoil signal would not be otherwise visible.
