标题： Dark Matter-Electron Detectors for Dark Matter-Nucleon Interactions

摘要： 在一篇十年前的开创性论文中，已经表明旨在探测与核子相互作用的暗物质探测器也可以用来探测暗物质与电子的相互作用。 在本工作中，我们表明，为在低质量下探测暗物质-电子相互作用而设计的新探测器概念同样可以用来探测暗物质-核子相互作用的新参数空间。 我们通过使用超导探测器的现有数据，对兆电子伏特尺度暗物质与核子的相互作用设定了新的限制，从而展示了这种方法的威力。 此外，我们表明，针对电子相互作用预期的探测技术进步将自动扩展对核子相互作用未探索领域的敏感度。 这将使未来低阈值实验的有效科学产出翻倍。 显示英文摘要

摘要： In a seminal paper now a decade old, it was shown that dark matter detectors geared at probing interactions with nucleons could also be used to probe dark matter interactions with electrons. In this work, we show that new detector concepts designed to probe dark matter-electron interactions at low masses can similarly be used to probe new parameter space for dark matter-nucleon interactions. We demonstrate the power of this approach by using existing data from superconducting detectors to place new limits on the interactions of nuclei with MeV-scale dark matter. Further, we show that advances in detector technology that have been anticipated for electronic interactions will automatically extend sensitivity deep into uncharted territory for nuclear interactions. This doubles the effective science output of future low-threshold experiments.
