Why it is here

A search above 271 keV can decisively test large-splitting inelastic explanations that evade the lower-energy sideband.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors derive model-independent low- and high-sideband event ratios for coherent endothermic scattering, finding a mass-dependent optimal splitting and growing tension at multi-TeV masses once both sidebands and the xenon Helm suppression are included.
