We present a search for electron-recoil signatures from the charged-current absorption of fermionic dark matter using the EXO-200 detector. We report an average electron recoil background rate of $6.8 \times 10^{-4}\, \mathrm{cts}\,\mathrm{kg}^{-1}\mathrm{yr}^{-1}\mathrm{keV}^{-1}$ above $4\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and find no statistically significant excess over our background projection. Using a total ${}^{136}\mathrm{Xe}$ exposure of $234.1\,\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm{yr}$ we exclude new parameter space for the charged-current absorption cross-section for dark matter masses between $m_\chi = 2.6\,\mathrm{MeV} - 11.6\,\mathrm{MeV}$ with a minimum of $6\times 10^{-51}\,\mathrm{cm}^2$ at $8.3\,\mathrm{MeV}$ at the $90\%$ confidence level.

  1. Constraints on Fermionic Dark Matter Absorption from Radiochemical Solar-Neutrino Measurements

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Reanalysis of solar neutrino capture rates yields 90% upper limits of 0.39-0.59 SNU on fermionic dark matter induced contributions, mapping to y bounds of 4.9-7.1 x 10^{-49} cm^2 at 1 MeV dark matter mass.
