Cosmic ray atmospheric showers provide an effective environment for the production of MeV-scale dark sector particles. We show that, when available, the resonant annihilation of positrons from the shower on atmospheric electrons is the dominant production mechanism by more than an order of magnitude. We provide a quantitative example based on dark photon production and update existing constraints on a corresponding light dark matter model from kilotons neutrino experiments and xenon-based direct detection experiments.

Inelastic Scattering Effects on Attenuation of Boosted Dark Matter
Resonant excitation of nucleons into Δ(1232) during Earth passage is a non-negligible attenuation channel for boosted dark matter at E_χ ≈ 1–2 GeV, lowering the PandaX-4T upper bound on σ̄_n in the heavy-mediator regime.

Detecting light dark matter with prompt-delayed events in neutrino experiments
The prompt-delayed knockout-neutron channel in KamLAND yields a sub-GeV dark matter-nucleon cross-section limit roughly one order of magnitude stronger than elastic nuclear recoil limits.
