Why it is here

Target scaling and seasonal timing can separate a nuclear-response feature from an inelastic mass splitting.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors compare a xenon nuclear-response cancellation in elastic scattering with endothermic dark-sector excitation, finding sharply different argon-to-xenon recoil scaling and annual-modulation behavior.
