Why it is here

A concrete dark-photon realization of down-scattering with multi-target predictions.

Machine-assisted summary

A heavier dark state down-scatters and releases a 0.5–1 MeV splitting, allowing 30–200 GeV dark matter to make a high-energy recoil. The model predicts still-higher-energy events in argon and germanium.
