Freezing in, heating up, and freezing out: predictive nonthermal dark matter and low-mass direct detection

Abstract Freeze-in dark matter (DM) mediated by a light (≪ keV) weakly-coupled dark-photon is an important benchmark for the emerging low-mass direct detection program. Since this is one of the only predictive, detectable freeze-in models, we investigate how robustly such testability extends to othe...
