Abstract
Recently, the XENON1T experiment has observed an excess in the electronic recoil data in the recoil energy range of - keV. One of the most favored new physics interpretations is electron scattering with a boosted particle with a velocity of and a mass of . If such a particle has a strong interaction with electrons, it may affect the standard scenario of cosmology or be observed at low-threshold direct detection experiments. We study various constraints, mainly focusing on those from the big-bang nucleosynthesis, supernova cooling, and direct detection experiments. We discuss the implication of these constraints on electron-scattering interpretation of the XENON1T excess.
