Neutrino Probes of the Nature of Light Dark Matter
Dark matter particles gravitationally trapped inside the Sun may annihilate into Standard Model particles, producing a flux of neutrinos. The prospects of detecting these neutrinos in future multi-kt neutrino detectors designed for other physics searches are explored here. We study the capabilities of a 34/100 kt liquid argon detector and a 100 kt magnetized iron calorimeter detector. These det...
متن کاملDark Matter and Cosmic Rays from Light Gauginos
An attractive class of SUSY-breaking mechanisms predicts a photino mass of order 1 GeV. Relic photinos can naturally account for the observed dark matter. Detection of these light photinos is discussed and contrasted with conventional WIMPs. In this scenario the gluino mass is about 100 MeV. The lightest gluinocontaining baryon could account for the recently observed ultra-high energy cosmic ra...
متن کاملLight Higgsino Dark Matter
We re–investigate the question whether a light higgsino–like neutralino is a viable Dark Matter candidate. To this end we compute the dominant one–loop corrections to the masses of the higgsino–like states in the minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), due to loops involving heavy quarks and their superpartners. We also calculate analogous corrections to the couplings of higgsino–like neu...
متن کاملLIGHT DARK MATTER a
We show how light spin-1 2 or spin-0 particles may be acceptable Dark Matter candidates, provided they annihilate sufficiently strongly through new interactions, such as those induced by a new light neutral spin-1 boson U. The corresponding interaction is stronger than weak interactions at lower energies, but weaker at higher energies. Annihilation cross sections of (axially coupled) spin-1 2 D...
متن کاملLight on Dark Matter
Galaxies are lighthouses that sit atop peaks in the density field. There is good observational evidence that these lighthouses do not provide a uniform description of the distribution of dark matter.
