Why it is here

An extra-dimensional mediator tower boosts an endothermic xenon signal and predicts a distinct solar-capture regime.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors embed singlet pseudo-Dirac dark matter and its few-hundred-keV splitting in a five-dimensional dark-photon model, where the Kaluza--Klein tower enhances the event-rate benchmark while separating terrestrial and solar kinematics.
