We derive conservative model independent limits on the dark-matter–nucleon scattering cross section for sub-GeV dark matter. The leading-order hadronic couplings are most severely constrained by the supernova cooling argument via processes such as nucleon bremsstrahlung and pion–DM conversion. We rule out both spin-independent and spin-dependent cross sections larger than roughly $10^{−50}$...
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECR) scattering off the cosmic relic neutrino background have recently gained renewed interest in the literature. Current data suggest that (UHECR) are predominantly made of heavy nuclei. Similar to the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS) observed at low-energy neutrino experiments, the cross section of heavy nucleus scattering off relic...
