Description
In this talk, I will survey sub-GeV scale dark matter options with one showcase from cosmology and another showcase from direct detection On the cosmology side, I’ll demonstrate how SIMP dark sectors with bound states achieve the relic density through even-numbered annihilations only, and, at the same time, catalyze the usually considered 3->2 annihilations, enlarging the prospective parameter space. On the direct detection side, I’ll report progress toward a time-resolved Migdal framework that relaxes the impulse approximation used in most atomic-target analyses.
