Why it is here

A viable elastic spin-dependent alternative with complementary solar-neutrino tests.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors fit the hard recoil with elastic spin-dependent scattering in singlet-doublet Majorana dark matter, using a Higgs blind spot to suppress low-energy spin-independent recoils while retaining a thermal-relic region.
