Upper bound on the dark matter total annihilation cross section.
We consider dark matter annihilation into standard model particles and show that the least detectable final states, namely, neutrinos, define an upper bound on the total cross section. Calculating the cosmic diffuse neutrino signal, and comparing it to the measured terrestrial atmospheric neutrino background, we derive a strong and general bound. This can be evaded if the annihilation products ...
متن کاملExclusion limits on the WIMP-nucleon cross section from the cryogenic dark matter search.
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs Ge and Si detectors to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their elastic-scattering interactions with nuclei while discriminating against interactions of background particles. CDMS data, accounting for the neutron background, give limits on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic-scattering cross section that exclude unex...

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs Ge and Si detectors to search for WIMPs via their elastic-scattering interactions with nuclei while discriminating against interactions of background particles. CDMS I data, from the Stanford Underground Facility shallow site, give limits on the spin-independent WIMPnucleon elastic-scattering cross-section that exclude unexplored parameter space a...

Exclusion Limits on the WIMP-Nucleon Elastic-Scattering Cross Section from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search by Sunil Ramanlal Golwala Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California at Berkeley Professor Bernard Sadoulet, Chair Extensive evidence indicates that a large fraction of the matter in the universe is nonluminous, nonbaryonic, and “cold” — nonrelativistic at the time matter be...
متن کاملNeutrino Signals from Wimp Annihilation
The eeect induced by neutrino oscillation on the dark matter indirect detection signal which consists in a muon neutrino ux produced by neutralino annihilation in the Earth core is analyzed. We consider the neutrino oscillation parameters relevant to the atmosferic neutrino deecit, both in the ! and ! s cases. The eeect induced by neutrino oscillation on the dark matter indirect detection signa...
