The Migdal effect in semiconductors for dark matter with masses below ∼ 100 MeV

Abstract Dark matter scattering off a nucleus has a small probability of inducing an observable ionization through the inelastic excitation of an electron, called the Migdal effect. We use an effective field theory to extend the computation of the Migdal effect in semiconductors to regions of small...
