The LZ event with a two-state dark matter halo
- Published
- September 28, 2026
- Identifier
- arXiv:2609.35650
Why it is here
The event-level inference changes qualitatively when both dark states populate the halo, so one-state limits cannot be applied unchanged.
Machine-assisted summary
After reproducing the published LZ inference, the paper adds a surviving excited-state halo fraction and finds that even small fractions can make exothermic scattering dominate, sharply lowering the cross section inferred from the candidate.
