Energy loss in low energy nuclear recoils in dark matter detector materials
Recent progress in phonon-mediated detectors with eV-scale nuclear recoil energy sensitivity requires an understanding of the effect of the crystalline defects on the energy spectrum expected from dark matter or neutrino coherent scattering. We perform molecular dynamics simulations to determine the amount of energy stored in the lattice defects as …
