Migdal effect and photon Bremsstrahlung: improving the sensitivity to light dark matter of liquid argon experiments

Abstract The search for dark matter weakly interacting massive particles with noble liquids has probed masses down and below a GeV/c 2. The ultimate limit is represented by the experimental threshold on the energy transfer to the nuclear recoil. Currently, the experimental sensitivity has reached a...
