Abstract Pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons (pNGBs) are attractive dark matter (DM) candidates. since they couple to the Standard Model (SM) predominantly through derivative interactions. Thereby they naturally evade the strong existing limits inferred from DM direct detection experiments. Working in an effective field theory that includes both derivative and non-derivative DM-SM operators. https://www.roneverhart.com/Russell-s-Reserve-Single-Rickhouse-Bourbon-Camp-Nelson-C/
