If dark matter has mass lower than around 1 GeV, it will not impart enough energy to cause detectable nuclear recoils in many direct-detection experiments. However, if dark matter is upscattered to high energy by collisions with cosmic rays, it may be detectable in both direct-detection experiments and neutrino experiments. We report the results of a dedicated search for boosted dark matter upscattered by cosmic rays using the PROSPECT reactor antineutrino experiment. We show that such a flux of upscattered dark matter would display characteristic diurnal sidereal modulation, and use this to set new experimental constraints on sub-GeV dark matter exhibiting large interaction cross-sections.

  1. Search for sub-GeV dark particles in $\eta\to\pi^0+\rm{invisible}$ decay

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Probing Long-Lived Particle Production in Muon Decays at the SNS with a Highly Capable Hydrocarbon Detector

    hep-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Proposes a hydrocarbon detector at SNS for order-of-magnitude better sensitivity to 10-100 MeV axion-like particles and heavy neutral leptons via e+e- decays from muon decays at rest.
