Why it is here

A matter-dependent splitting can separate terrestrial and solar kinematics, although the viable construction requires severe scalar-potential fine-tuning.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors couple an ultralight scalar quadratically to electrons so that density effects raise an inelastic electroweak-doublet splitting inside the Sun while preserving the roughly 350 keV laboratory value used to fit the LZ recoil.
