A direct detection view of the neutrino NSI landscape (2023)
Journal Article
Amaral, D., Cerdeño, D., Cheek, A., & Foldenauer, P. (2023). A direct detection view of the neutrino NSI landscape. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023(7), Article 71. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep07%282023%29071

In this article, we study the potential of direct detection experiments to explore the parameter space of general non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) via solar neutrino scattering. Due to their sensitivity to neutrino-electron and neutrino-nucle... Read More about A direct detection view of the neutrino NSI landscape.

Evaporation of primordial black holes in the early Universe: Mass and spin distributions (2023)
Journal Article
Cheek, A., Heurtier, L., Perez-Gonzalez, Y. F., & Turner, J. (2023). Evaporation of primordial black holes in the early Universe: Mass and spin distributions. Physical Review D, 108(1), Article 015005. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.108.015005

Many cosmological phenomena lead to the production of primordial black holes in the early Universe. These phenomena often create a population of black holes with extended mass and spin distributions. As these black holes evaporate via Hawking radiati... Read More about Evaporation of primordial black holes in the early Universe: Mass and spin distributions.

The dark matter component of the Gaia radially anisotropic substructure (2020)
Journal Article
Bozorgnia, N., Fattahi, A., Frenk, C., Cheek, A., Cerdeño, D., Gómez, F., Grand, R., & Marinacci, F. (2020). The dark matter component of the Gaia radially anisotropic substructure. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2020(7), Article 036. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2020/07/036

We study the properties of the dark matter component of the radially anisotropic stellar population recently identified in the Gaia data, using magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-like halos from the Auriga project. We identify 10 simulat... Read More about The dark matter component of the Gaia radially anisotropic substructure.

Opening the energy window on direct dark matter detection (2018)
Journal Article
Bozorgnia, N., Cerdeño, D. G., Cheek, A., & Penning, B. (2018). Opening the energy window on direct dark matter detection. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2018(12), Article 013. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2018/12/013

In this article we investigate the benefits of increasing the maximum nuclear recoil energy analysed in dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments. We focus on elastic DM-nucleus interactions, and work within the framework of effective field theor... Read More about Opening the energy window on direct dark matter detection.

Surrogate models for direct dark matter detection (2018)
Journal Article
Cerdeño, D., Cheek, A., Reid, E., & Schulz, H. (2018). Surrogate models for direct dark matter detection. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2018(08), Article 011. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2018/08/011

In this work we introduce RAPIDD, a surrogate model that speeds up the computation of the expected spectrum of dark matter particles in direct detection experiments. RAPIDD replaces the exact calculation of the dark matter differential rate (which in... Read More about Surrogate models for direct dark matter detection.
