Inelastic nuclear scattering from neutrinos and dark matter

چکیده
Neutrinos with energy of order 10~MeV, such as from pion decay-at-rest sources, are an invaluable tool for studying low-energy neutrino interactions nuclei -- previously enabling the first measurement coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. Beyond scattering, neutrinos and dark matter in this range also excite to its low-lying nuclear states, providing additional physics channel. Here, we consider neutral-current inelastic matter(DM)-nucleus scattering off $^{40}$Ar, $^{133}$Cs, $^{127}$I that relevant a number low-threshold experiments at facilities. We carry out large scale shell model calculations cross sections considering full set electroweak multipole operators. Our results demonstrate Gamow-Teller transitions provide dominant contribution section long-wavelength limit provides reasonable approximation total sources. show future will be sensitive channel thus these DM channels explore

Neutrinos and Dark Matter
In these lectures I highlight some key features of massive neutrinos in the context of cosmology. I first review the thermal history and the free-streaming kinematics of the uniform cosmic background neutrinos. I then describe how fluctuations in the phase space distributions of neutrinos and other particles arise and evolve after neutrino decoupling according to the linear perturbation theory ...
متن کاملHalo-independent methods for inelastic dark matter scattering
We present halo-independent methods to analyze the results of dark matter direct detection experiments assuming inelastic scattering. We focus on the annual modulation signal reported by DAMA/LIBRA and present three different halo-independent tests. First, we compare it to the upper limit on the unmodulated rate from XENON100 using (a) the trivial requirement that the amplitude of the annual mo...
متن کاملInelastic Dark Matter ∗
Many observations suggest that much of the matter of the universe is nonbaryonic. Recently, the DAMA NaI dark matter direct detection experiment reported an annual modulation in their event rate consistent with a WIMP relic. However, the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) Ge experiment excludes most of the region preferred by DAMA. We demonstrate that if the dark matter can only scatter by mak...
متن کاملNeutrinos from Inert Doublet Dark Matter
We investigate the signatures of neutrinos produced in the annihilation of WIMP dark matter in the Earth, the Sun and at the Galactic centre within the framework of the Inert Doublet Model and extensions. To accommodate the WMAP constraints, the dark matter candidate, which is one of the neutral components of an extra Higgs doublet, must have a mass in either one of three distinct mass ranges: ...
متن کاملNuclear PDFs from neutrino deep inelastic scattering
We study nuclear effects in charged current deep inelastic neutrino–iron scattering in the framework of a χ-analysis of parton distribution functions. We extract a set of iron PDFs and show that under reasonable assumptions it is possible to constrain the valence, light sea and strange quark distributions. We compare our results with nuclear parton distribution functions from the literature and...
