Galactic Endothermic Production and Exothermic Detection of Excited Dark Matter: Implications for LUX-ZEPLIN
- Published
- September 15, 2026
- Identifier
- arXiv:2609.17935
Why it is here
Builds the excited component inside the present-day halo, then releases its splitting through exothermic xenon recoils.
Machine-assisted summary
The author proposes a two-step Galactic mechanism in which fast ground-state particles endothermically self-scatter into an excited population, whose exothermic scattering on xenon can produce an order-one event count near the candidate energy for TeV-scale dark matter and sub-MeV splittings.
