PhononDM VDF Study Data

This repository contains the HDF5 data used to reproduce the results presented in arXiv:2606.04091. The corresponding plotting and analysis code is available in https://github.com/navaneetha-valsan/PhononDM_VDFStudy_code.

For notebooks that read HDF5 data, set DATA_ROOT to the root of the downloaded data repository:

DATA_ROOT = "/path/to/PhononDM_VDFStudy_DATA"

Then, notebooks automatically append the required Manuscript_data/... paths.

Data Layout

The paper data are stored under Manuscript_data/.

- <Target>_projected_reach/ contains projected reach data for CaWO4, SiO2, Al2O3 and GaAs.

- <Target>_daily_modulation/, contains daily modulation data for CaWO4, SiO2 and Al2O3.

HDF5 filenames follow the convention

<Target>_<mediator>_standard_<VDF>_<V0>_<VE>_<VESC>.hdf5

where mediator is heavy_hadrophilic, light_hadrophilic, or light_dark_photon,

and VDF is SHM, TSA, or EMP.

Note: For some rms-matched empirical models, V0 is inf when no finite matched value exists.

Which Data To Use

The HDF5 data required by each paper-reproduction notebook are located in the following folders:

Notebook	Data folder
script_reach_plot_std_prescription.ipynb	`Manuscript_data/<Target>_projected_reach/files_QQQ/`
script_reach_plot_rms_prescription.ipynb	`Manuscript_data/<Target>_projected_reach/files_vrms_QQQ/` (conservative) or `files_vrms_aggr/` (aggressive)
script_rel_diff_table.ipynb	`Manuscript_data/<Target>_projected_reach/files_QQQ/`, `files_vrms_QQQ/`, or `files_vrms_aggr/`
script_fmod_plot.ipynb	`Manuscript_data/<Target>_daily_modulation/files/`, `files_QQQ_10-3/`, and `files_vrms_QQQ/`
script_daily_modulation_plot.ipynb	`Manuscript_data/<Target>_daily_modulation/files/` and `files_vrms_QQQ/`
