Description

Solar neutrinos induce elastic neutrino-electron scattering in dark matter direct detection experiments, resulting in detectable event rates at current facilities. In this talk, I will present an analysis of recent data from the XENONnT, LUX-ZEPLIN, and PandaX-4T experiments from which we derive stringent constraints on several U(1)′ extensions of the Standard Model, accommodating new neutrino-electron interactions. In particular, I will present bounds on the relevant coupling and mass of light vector mediators for a variety of anomaly-free U(1)′ models. I will also present forecasts for improving current bounds with a future experiment like DARWIN.
