abstract
The elastic scattering of an atomic nucleus plays a central role in dark matter direct detection experiments. In those experiments, it is usually assumed that the atomic electrons around the nucleus of the target material immediately follow the motion of the recoil nucleus. In reality, however, it takes some time for the electrons to catch up, which results in ionization and excitation of the atoms. In previous studies, those effects are taken into account by using the so-called Migdal's approach, in which the final state ionization/excitation are treated separately from the nuclear recoil. In this paper, we reformulate the Migdal's approach so that the "atomic recoil" cross section is obtained coherently, where we make transparent the energy-momentum conservation and the probability conservation. We show that the final state ionization/excitation can enhance the detectability of rather light dark matter in the GeV mass range via the {\it nuclear} scattering. We also discuss the coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering, where the same effects are expected.

No signal found in first search for eta to pi0 plus invisible dark scalar decay, setting branching fraction limits of (1.8-5.5)x10^-5 at 90% CL and improving DM-nucleon cross section bounds by ~5 orders of magnitude.
Stochastic inflationary fluctuations cannot supply the large dark-Higgs displacement required for broad parametric resonance production of vector dark matter, but a classically sourced Hubble-induced minimum can, with distinct relic scaling and consistency conditions.
Astrophysical uncertainties in dark matter halo models produce O(1% to 100%) fractional deviations in predicted single-phonon rates, but can be captured by parameter variations within the Standard Halo Model after rms-matching.
Planck CMB data set upper limits on vector and axial-vector dark matter-electron couplings for masses 100 eV to 100 keV via energy injection from inelastic scattering and hydrogen absorption.
A leptogenesis framework generates both baryon asymmetry and asymmetric dark matter via heavy Majorana neutrino decays, enabling a TeV-scale seesaw with hierarchical couplings and testable spin-independent DM cross sections above 10 GeV.
Xenon data constrain inelastic fermion DM with scalar mediator for sub-MeV mass splittings through endothermic and exothermic DM-electron scattering.
Projects COSI and AMEGO-X sensitivities to sub-GeV DM in vector-scalar portals, finding COSI leading in some regions beyond CMB limits and AMEGO-X covering most continuum cases.
In ADD models with n large extra dimensions, gravity-mediated DM-nucleon interactions scale as m_p m_χ M_*^{-4} and resonant annihilation as ⟨σv⟩ ~ m_χ^n M_*^{-n-2}, yielding bounds on {m_χ, M_*} from Xe direct detection and galactic gamma rays.
