Direct searches for general dark matter-electron interactions with graphene detectors: Part II. Sensitivity studies

We use a formalism that describes electron ejections from graphenelike targets by dark matter (DM) scattering for general forms of scalar and spin-1/2 DM-electron interactions in combination with state-of-the-art density functional calculations to produce predictions and reach estimates for various possible carbon-based detector designs. Our results indicate the importance of …
