Nuclear σ terms and scalar-isoscalar WIMP-nucleus interactions from lattice QCD

It has been argued that the leading scalar-isoscalar weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) -nucleus interactions receive parametrically enhanced contributions in the context of nuclear effective field theories [1]. These contributions arise from meson-exchange currents (MECs) and potentially mo...
