We outline the science opportunities in the areas of searches for dark matter and new physics offered by a proposed future MeV gamma-ray telescope, the Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton Telescope (GECCO). We point out that such an instrument would play a critical role in opening up a discovery window for particle dark matter with mass in the MeV or sub-MeV range, in disentangling the origin of the mysterious 511 keV line emission in the Galactic Center region, and in potentially discovering Hawking evaporation from light primordial black holes.

  1. Hunting Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter in the MeV Gap

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Future MeV telescopes are projected to improve existing limits on sterile neutrino dark matter decay rates by several orders of magnitude.

  2. Constraining light dark matter in vector-scalar portals with COSI and AMEGO-X

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Projects COSI and AMEGO-X sensitivities to sub-GeV DM in vector-scalar portals, finding COSI leading in some regions beyond CMB limits and AMEGO-X covering most continuum cases.

  3. Flavor phenomenology of light dark particles

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Review surveying limits and prospects for flavor-violating decays of light axion-like particles, highlighting complementarity of lab, astro, and cosmo probes up to 10^12 GeV scales.
