Limits on momentum-dependent asymmetric dark matter with CRESST-II.

Limits on momentum-dependent asymmetric dark matter with CRESST-II.

The usual assumption in direct dark matter searches is to only consider the spin-dependent or spin-independent scattering of dark matter particles. However, especially in models with light dark matter particles O(GeV=c^2), operators which carry additional powers of the momentum transfer q^2 can beco...

Čoahkkáigeassu:The usual assumption in direct dark matter searches is to only consider the spin-dependent or spin-independent scattering of dark matter particles. However, especially in models with light dark matter particles O(GeV=c^2), operators which carry additional powers of the momentum transfer q^2 can become dominant. One such model based on asymmetric dark matter has been invoked to overcome discrepancies in helioseismology and an indication was found for a particle with preferred mass of 3 GeV=c^2 and cross section of 10^-37cm2 . Recent data from the CRESST-II experiment, which uses cryogenic detectors based on CaWO4 to search for nuclear recoils induced by dark matter particles, are used to constrain these momentum-dependent models. The low energy threshold of 307 eV for nuclear recoils of the detector used, allows us to rule out the proposed best fit value above.
