Probing MeV dark matter at low-energy e+e- colliders.
It has been suggested that the pair annihilation of dark matter particles chi with mass between 0.5 and 20 MeV into e+e- pairs could be responsible for the excess flux (detected by the INTEGRAL satellite) of 511 keV photons coming from the central region of our Galaxy. The simplest way to achieve the required cross section while respecting existing constraints is to introduce a new vector boson...
متن کاملDark Matter and Dark Energy
I briefly review our current understanding of dark matter and dark energy. The first part of this paper focusses on issues pertaining to dark matter including observational evidence for its existence, current constraints and the ‘abundance of substructure’ and ‘cuspy core’ issues which arise in CDM. I also briefly describe MOND. The second part of this review focusses on dark energy. In this pa...
متن کاملUltra-Low-Energy Germanium Detector for Neutrino-Nucleus Coherent Scattering and Dark Matter Searches
The status and plans of a research program on the development of ultra-low-energy germanium detectors with sub-keV sensitivities are reported. We survey the scientific goals which include the observation of neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering, the studies of neutrino magnetic moments, as well as the searches of WIMP dark matter. In particular, a threshold of 100-200 eV and a sub-keV background...
متن کاملCDMS experiments for mirror matter - type dark matter
We re-analyse the implications of the DAMA/NaI experiment for mirror matter-type dark matter, taking into account information from the energy dependence of the DAMA annual modulation signal. This is combined with the null results from the CDMS experiment, leading to fairly well defined allowed regions of parameter space. The allowed regions of parameter space will be probed in the near future b...
متن کاملMEASUREMENTS OF THE AVERAGE ENERGY PER ELECTRON-HOLE PAIR GENERATION IN SILICON BETWprEEN 5-32O0K(
The average energy exDended to create an electron-hole pair in silicon ESi(T) has been measured in the 5-3200K temperature range with thin totally depleted surface barrier and diffused junction radiation detectors. The data have been normalized to a value of ESi (3000K) = 3.62 eV. A dependence of ESi on T much weaker than previously published by other authors has been observed. In the examined ...
