Constraining light dark matter upscattered by ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
Light halo dark matter (DM) particles upscattered by high-energy cosmic rays (CRs) can be energetic, and become detectable by conventional direct detection experiments. The current constraints derived from space-based direct CR measurements can reach O(10−31) cm2 for a constant DM-nucleon scattering...
