Interpreting data from WIMP direct detection experiments
Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) direct detection experiments are closing in on the region of parameter space where relic neutralinos may constitute the galactic halo dark matter. We discuss two issues in the interpretation of data, in particular the calculation of exclusion limits, from these experiments. Firstly we show that the technique that has been used for calculating exclusion...
متن کاملDetermining the WIMP mass using direct detection experiments
We study the accuracy with which the WIMP mass could be determined by a superCDMS-like direct detection experiment, given optimistic assumptions about the detector set-up and WIMP properties. We consider WIMPs with an interaction crosssection of σp = 10 −7 pb (just below current exclusion limits) and assume, initially, that the local WIMP velocity distribution and density are known and that the...
متن کاملWIMP direct detection overview ∗
This review on weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter direct detection focuses on experimental approaches and the corresponding physics basics. The presentation is intended to provide a quick and concise introduction for non-specialists to this fast evolving topic of astroparticle physics.

متن کاملThe Diurnal Variation of the Wimp Detection Event Rates in Directional Experiments
The recent WMAP data have confirmed that exotic dark matter together with the vacuum energy (cosmological constant) dominate in the flat Universe. Modern particle theories naturally provide viable cold dark matter candidates with masses in the GeV-TeV region. Supersymmetry provides the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), theories in extra dimensions supply the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle...
