DM induced neutron disappearance as the origin of the LZ nuclear recoil event
- Published
- September 14, 2026
- Identifier
- arXiv:2609.15933
Why it is here
Extends nuclear-disappearance explanations to dark-matter-induced neutron loss with line and de-excitation tests.
Machine-assisted summary
The authors interpret the event as dark matter annihilating a bound neutron into an invisible scalar, producing daughter-nucleus recoil lines, and constrain an illustrative completion with collider data and accompanying nuclear de-excitation searches.
