We present the full basis of effective operators relevant for dark matter direct detection, up to and including operators of mass dimension seven. We treat the cases where dark matter is either a Dirac fermion, a Majorana fermion, a complex scalar, or a real scalar, allowing for dark matter to furnish a general representation of the electroweak gauge group. We describe the algorithmic procedure used to obtain the minimal set of effective operators and provide the tree-level matching conditions onto the effective theory valid below the electroweak scale.

  1. DAMA/LIBRA and dark matter: decisive tension or contrived cancellation

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    DAMA's annual modulation signal is incompatible at >5σ with ANAIS-112 and COSINE-100 under physical dark-matter recoil models; reconciliation requires contrived opposite-sign sodium/iodine tuning.

  2. Information-theoretic astrophysical uncertainties in the effective theory of dark matter direct detection

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    Using an information-theoretic bound on the halo velocity distribution, dark matter direct-detection limits vary from <10x to ~10,000x near threshold depending on the EFT operator, with higher velocity-weighting opera...

  3. Semi-visible higgs decay as a probe for new invisible particles

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0

    At the HL-LHC, semi-visible Higgs decays can probe dark-SMEFT couplings to invisible scalars or fermions below 50 GeV, with the best reach for Yukawa-type operators, while invisible Z decays and unitarity constrain de...

  4. Multipole structure of the nucleon tensor form factors

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In the chiral quark-soliton model with 1/N_c corrections, the isoscalar tensor charge is 0.81, the isovector anomalous tensor magnetic moment is 1.97, and the isoscalar tensor quadrupole moment is 5.98, completing the...

  5. Constraining Effective Field Theories for dark matter candidates annihilating into gamma-ray lines with CTAO

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0

    Using CTAO projected line sensitivity, the paper forecasts lower bounds on effective dark matter interaction scales above 10 TeV for TeV mass dark matter, with direct detection dominating the fermionic dipole operator.

    hep-ph 2020-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    The paper surveys theoretical motivations, experimental searches, and bounds on the dark photon as a kinetically mixed gauge boson from a dark sector, covering both massive and massless cases along with related milli-...
