AbstraktAbstract
Fermionic dark matter absorption on nuclear targets via neutral current interactions is explored using a nonrelativistic effective field theory framework. An analysis of data from the PICO-60 C3F8 bubble chamber sets leading constraints on spin-independent absorption for dark matter masses below 23 MeV/c2 and establishes the first limits on spin-dependent absorptive interactions. These results demonstrate the sensitivity of bubble chambers to low-mass dark matter and underscore the importance of absorption searches in expanding the parameter space of direct detection experiments.
