Searching for Light Dark Matter with Aligned Carbon Nanotubes: The ANDROMeDa Project
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ANDROMeDa (Aligned Nanotube Detector for Research On MeV Dark matter) project aims to develop a novel Matter detector based on carbon nanotubes: the “Dark-PMT”. is designed be sensitive dark matter particles with mass between 1 and GeV. detection scheme matter-electron scattering inside target made of vertically-aligned nanotubes. Vertically-aligned nanotubes have reduced density in direction tube axis, therefore scattered electrons are expected leave without being re-absorbed only if their momentum has small enough angle that direction, which what happens when tubes parallel wind. This grants directional sensitivity detector, unique feature this range.

Searching for Dark Matter
The observational evidence for dark matter on progressively larger cosmic scales is reviewed in a rather pedagogical fashion. Although the emphasis is on dark matter in galaxies and in clusters of galaxies, its cosmological evidence as well as its physical nature are also discussed.
متن کاملSearching For Dark Matter with Neutrino Telescopes
One of the most interesting mysteries of astrophysics is the puzzle of dark matter. Although numerous techniques have been explored and developed to detect this elusive substance, its nature remains unknown. One such method uses large high-energy neutrino telescopes to look for the annihilation products of dark matter annihilations. In this summary article, we briefly review this technique. We ...
متن کاملSearching for dark matter with helium atom
With the help of the boost operator we can model the interaction between a weakly interacting particle(WIMP) of dark matter(DAMA) and an atomic nuclei. Via this “kick” we calculate the total electronic excitation cross section of the helium atom. The bound spectrum of He is calculated through a diagonalization process with a configuration interaction (CI) wavefunction built up from Slater orbit...
متن کاملDissipative dark matter and the Andromeda plane of satellites
We show that dissipative dark matter can potentially explain the large observed mass to light ratio of the dwarf satellite galaxies that have been observed in the recently identified planar structure around Andromeda, which are thought to result from tidal forces during a galaxy merger. Whereas dwarf galaxies created from ordinary disks would be dark matter poor, dark matter inside the galactic...
متن کاملSearching for the Galactic Dark Matter
A straightforward interpretation of the MACHO microlensing results in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds suggests that an important fraction of the baryonic dark matter component of our Galaxy is in the form of old white dwarfs. If correct, this has serious implications for the early generations of stars that formed in the Universe and also on the manner in which galaxies formed and enriche...
