Description

We study the ionization and light yields produced by nuclear recoils at low
energies in pure crystals and noble liquids in the context of Lindhard's
integral equation, incorporating the effects of binding energy, improved
modeling of the electronic stopping, and electronic straggling. We
consider three different models for the electronic stopping power that
incorporate Coulomb repulsion effects at low energies, and Bohr electronic
stripping for high energies. Finally, we discuss possible new effects near threshold.
