Why it is here

Shows that effective single-isotope xenon approximations can distort predictions near the 248 keV kinematic edge.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors resolve the event-motivated endothermic rate isotope by isotope and show that small xenon-mass differences are amplified near the Galactic speed cutoff, materially changing the predicted isotope fractions and window rate.
