Atmospheric neutrinos in next-generation xenon and argon dark matter experiments

چکیده
We study the sensitivity of future xenon- and argon-based dark matter neutrino detection experiments to low-energy atmospheric neutrinos. Not accounting for experimental backgrounds, primary obstacle identifying nuclear recoils induced by neutrinos is tail electron recoil distribution due $pp$ solar use NEST code model signals in a xenon detector find that an exposure 700 tonne-years will produce $5\sigma$ explore effect different properties sufficiently long lifetime essential success such measurement.

Neutrinos and Dark Matter
In these lectures I highlight some key features of massive neutrinos in the context of cosmology. I first review the thermal history and the free-streaming kinematics of the uniform cosmic background neutrinos. I then describe how fluctuations in the phase space distributions of neutrinos and other particles arise and evolve after neutrino decoupling according to the linear perturbation theory ...
متن کاملThree-generation neutrino mixing and LSND dark matter neutrinos
The reported signal at the LSND experiment, when interpreted as neutrino mixing with δm = 6 eV, provides evidence for neutrinos with a cosmologically significant mass. However, attempts to reconcile this interpretation of the experiment with other hints about neutrino properties require a (sterile) fourth neutrino and/or an “inverted” neutrino mass hierarchy. An interpretation of the LSND exper...
متن کاملMONOLITH: a next generation experiment for atmospheric neutrinos
Although the evidence for neutrino oscillation is growing year after year, the final proof that the observed anomalies are due to oscillation is still outstanding. Alternative models (neutrino decay, potential decoherence effect, influence of large extra-dimensions) to explain the SuperKamiokande (SK) atmospheric neutrinos results have been proposed. On the experimental side, as pointed out als...
متن کاملGetting the astrophysics and particle physics of dark matter out of next-generation direct detection experiments
The next decade will bring massive new data sets from experiments of the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particle dark matter. Mapping the data sets to the particle-physics properties of dark matter is complicated not only by the considerable uncertainties in the dark-matter model, but by its poorly constrained local distribution function (the ‘‘astrophysics’’ of dark matter). I ...
متن کاملDark Matter and Solar Neutrinos in Susy
In the Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with minimal particle content the three neutrinos can have non trivial masses and mixings, generated at 1 loop due to renormalizable lepton number violating interactions. We show that the resulting mass matrix can provide simultaneously a significant amount of the Dark Matter of the Universe and solve the solar neutrino problem, if the free ...
