1 “ Liquid Xenon R & D for Future Large - Scale Dark - Matter Detectors ”
A strong theoretical candidate for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) is the neutralino. The neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP), from supersymmetry (SUSY) theory, that would be formed in the early universe and subsequently cluster in galaxies with normal matter. This could account for the ~90% non-luminous mass inferred in our Galaxy from the motion of stars and ...
متن کاملGaseous Dark Matter Detectors
Dark Matter detectors with directional sensitivity have the potential of yielding an unambiguous positive observation of WIMPs as well as discriminating between galactic Dark Matter halo models. In this article, we introduce the motivation for directional detectors, discuss the experimental techniques that make directional detection possible, and review the status of the experimental effort in ...
متن کاملDark matter detectors as dark photon helioscopes.
Light new particles with masses below 10 keV, often considered as a plausible extension of the standard model, will be emitted from the solar interior and can be detected on Earth with a variety of experimental tools. Here, we analyze the new "dark" vector state V, a massive vector boson mixed with the photon via an angle κ, that in the limit of the small mass mV has its emission spectrum stron...
متن کاملSuperconducting Detectors for Superlight Dark Matter.
We propose and study a new class of superconducting detectors that are sensitive to O(meV) electron recoils from dark matter-electron scattering. Such devices could detect dark matter as light as the warm dark-matter limit, m(X)≳1 keV. We compute the rate of dark-matter scattering off of free electrons in a (superconducting) metal, including the relevant Pauli blocking factors. We demonstrate ...
متن کاملNeutron background in large-scale xenon detectors for dark matter searches
Simulations of the neutron background for future large-scale particle dark matter detectors are presented. Neutrons were generated in rock and detector elements via spontaneous fission and (α,n) reactions, and by cosmic-ray muons. The simulation techniques and results are discussed in the context of the expected sensitivity of a generic liquid xenon dark matter detector. Methods of neutron back...
