Why it is here

A distinct absorption mechanism that naturally lands at 248 keV but faces an important external constraint.

Machine-assisted summary

Absorption of a roughly 247 MeV fermionic dark-matter particle on xenon converts its rest mass into a nearly monoenergetic recoil. The required benchmark is reported to be in strong tension with a KamLAND recast.
