Why it is here

Links the LZ recoil to a second anomaly using inelastic dark-photon dark matter.

Machine-assisted summary

A 420 GeV dark photon up-scatters to a heavier vector partner through a scalar mediator. The same sector is arranged to retain a proposed explanation of a Galactic halo gamma-ray excess.
