Time-integrated directional detection of dark matter (2017)
Journal Article
O'Hare, C. A., Kavanagh, B. J., & Green, A. M. (in press). Time-integrated directional detection of dark matter. Physical Review D, 96, https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.96.083011

The analysis of signals in directional dark matter (DM) detectors typically assumes that the directions of nuclear recoils can be measured in the Galactic rest frame. However, this is not possible with all directional detection technologies. In nucle... Read More about Time-integrated directional detection of dark matter.

Astrophysical uncertainties on stellar microlensing constraints on multi-solar mass primordial black hole dark matter (2017)
Journal Article
Green, A. M. (2017). Astrophysical uncertainties on stellar microlensing constraints on multi-solar mass primordial black hole dark matter. Physical Review D, 96, Article 043020. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.96.043020

There has recently been interest in multi-Solar mass Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) as a dark matter (DM) candidate. There are various microlensing, dynamical and accretion constraints on the abundance of PBHs in this mass range. Taken at face value t...

Astrophysical uncertainties on the local dark matter distribution and direct detection experiments (2017)
Journal Article
Green, A. M. (2017). Astrophysical uncertainties on the local dark matter distribution and direct detection experiments. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 44(8), https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/aa7819

The differential event rate in weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) direct detection experiments depends on the local dark matter density and velocity distribution. Accurate modelling of the local dark matter distribution is therefore required... Read More about Astrophysical uncertainties on the local dark matter distribution and direct detection experiments.

Axion astronomy with microwave cavity experiments (2017)
Journal Article
O'Hare, C. A., & Green, A. M. (2017). Axion astronomy with microwave cavity experiments. Physical Review D, 95(6), Article 063017. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.95.063017

Terrestrial searches for the conversion of dark matter axions or axion-like particles into photons inside magnetic fields are sensitive to the phase space structure of the local Milky Way halo. We simulate signals in a hypothetical future experiment... Read More about Axion astronomy with microwave cavity experiments.
