We use Super-K data to place new strong limits on interactions of sub-GeV Dark Matter (DM) with nuclei, that rely on the DM flux inevitably induced by cosmic-ray upscatterings. We derive analogous sensitivities at Hyper-K and DUNE and compare them with others, e.g. at JUNO. Using simplified models, we find that our proposal tests genuinely new parameter space, allowed both by theoretical consistency and by other direct detection experiments, cosmology, meson decays and our recast of monojet. Our results thus motivate and shape a new physics case for any large volume detector sensitive to nuclear recoils.

  1. Inelastic Scattering Effects on Attenuation of Boosted Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Direct Detection of Leptophobic Dark Matter with Electronic Collective Excitations

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Leptophobic dark matter can excite plasmons in silicon through hadronic loops, and SENSEI data now constrain its nucleon cross section down to ~1e-31 cm^2 in the sub-MeV mass range.

  3. Did IceCube discover Dark Matter around Blazars?

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Sub-GeV dark matter scattering off protons in blazar jets can produce the IceCube neutrino from TXS 0506+056 while evading current dark matter constraints.

  4. Boosted Dark Matter Driven by Cosmic Rays and Diffuse Supernova Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Combining cosmic-ray and supernova-neutrino boosts yields the strongest constraints to date on sub-GeV dark matter scattering with electrons, nucleons, and neutrinos.

  5. Blazar Boosted ALP and vector portal Dark matter confronting light mediator searches

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Blazar-boosted dark matter scattering in Super-Kamiokande can exclude previously unconstrained parameter space for ALP- and vector-mediated sub-MeV dark matter, beating BaBar, NA64, beam dump, and stellar cooling limi...
