ON ELECTROMAGNETIC CONTRIBUTIONS IN WIMP QUESTS

Reusable Information Quests

In support of collaboration among individuals whose work involves exploration of data networks (such as the World Wide Web, or sets of intelligence information, or more detailed databases of scientific information), some researchers are examining a problem that I will call “quest reuse”. The central idea is that a person doing such research is on a quest that has specific goals. Those goals are...

Limits on WIMP Dark Matter

The current state searches for dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using both direct and indirect techniques is reviewed. Advances in recent years by various direct search experiments, utilising technology able to record the nuclear recoil events expected from elastic scattering by WIMPs, have allowed progress towards lower limits to be made. In particular, t...

Analysis of WIMP and Post WIMP Interactive Systems based on Formal Specification

While designing interactive software, the use of a formal specification technique is of great help by providing non-ambiguous, complete and concise descriptions. The advantages of using such a formalism is widened if it is provided by formal analysis techniques that allow to prove properties about the design, thus giving an early verification to the designer before the application is actually i...

Cosmological Quests in the Cmb Sky

Observational Cosmology has indeed made very rapid progress in recent years. The ability to quantify the universe has largely improved due to observational constraints coming from structure formation Measurements of CMB anisotropy and, more recently, polarization have played a very important role. Besides precise determination of various parameters of the ‘standard’ cosmological model, observat...
