AI总结:

本文研究暗物质与核子相互作用的同位旋破坏效应,分析液氩探测器中的约束与未来预测,并展示氙和氩靶核之间的高度互补性。

摘要:

目前没有已知理由表明暗物质与标准模型的相互作用应以相同方式耦合中子和质子。这种同位旋破坏可能产生重大后果,使现有和未来直接探测实验约束的灵敏度改变数个数量级。以往文献中的工作集中于零动量极限,在将分析扩展到非相对论有效场论基(NREFT)时存在局限性。本文详细研究了同位旋破坏,特别关注液氩稀有气体探测器的实验设置。我们分析了两个有效的标准模型规范不变模型作为有趣的案例研究,以及更不依赖模型的NREFT算子。这项工作展示了氙和氩靶核之间的高度互补性。最值得注意的是,我们表明标准自旋相关相互作用的标准模型规范不变表述通常会产生来自氩(一种零自旋靶核)的显著响应。这项工作旨在为模型构建者和实验者提供更新和有用的参考。

英文摘要:

There is no known reason that dark matter interactions with the Standard Model should couple to neutrons and protons in the same way. This isospin violation can have large consequences, modifying the sensitivity of existing and future direct detection experimental constraints by orders of magnitude. Previous works in the literature have focused on the zero-momentum limit which has its limitations when extending the analysis to the Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theory basis (NREFT). In this paper, we study isospin violation in a detailed manner, paying specific attention to the experimental setups of liquid noble detectors. We analyse two effective Standard Model gauge invariant models as interesting case studies as well as the more model-independent NREFT operators. This work demonstrates the high degree of complementarity between the target nuclei xenon and argon. Most notably, we show that the Standard Model gauge-invariant formulation of the standard spin-dependent interaction often generates a sizeable response from argon, a target nuclei with zero spin. This work is meant as an update and a useful reference to model builders and experimentalists.
