Paleo-detectors can achieve high sensitivity to sub-GeV dark matter boosted by cosmic rays and supernovae, covering previously inaccessible parameter space with orders of magnitude better reach than current experiments.

abstract
This review focuses on high-energy cosmic rays in the PeV energy range and above. Of particular interest is the knee of the spectrum around 3 PeV and the transition from cosmic rays of Galactic origin to particles from extra-galactic sources. Our goal is to establish a baseline spectrum from 10^14 to 10^20 eV by combining the results of many measurements at different energies. In combination with measurements of the nuclear composition of the primaries, the shape of the energy spectrum places constraints on the number and spectra of sources that may contribute to the observed spectrum.

Simulations indicate that CTA's angular resolution and LHAASO-KM2A's large area will improve morphological separation of diffusion-based pulsar halos from simpler spatial models.

Probing Cosmic-Ray-Boosted and Supernova-Sourced Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Paleo-Detectors
Paleo-detectors can achieve high sensitivity to sub-GeV dark matter boosted by cosmic rays and supernovae, covering previously inaccessible parameter space with orders of magnitude better reach than current experiments.
