How Dark Is Dark? Bright Lights, Big City, Racial Profiling
Grogger and Ridgeway (2006) develop a feasible test for racial profiling "behind a veil of darkness" that exploits the exogenous variability in the visibility of driver race caused by the daylight savings time shift. The idea is that police are less able to use race as a criteria in traffic stops when it is dark, so differences in stop rates for African-Americans between dark and light (while c...
متن کاملHow Finely Tuned is Supersymmetric Dark Matter ?
We introduce a quantification of the question in the title: the logarithmic sensitivity of the relic neutralino density Ωχh 2 to variations in input parameters such as the supersymmetric mass scales m0, m1/2 and A0, tan β and the top and bottom quark masses. In generic domains of the CMSSM parameter space with a relic density in the preferred range 0.1 ≤ Ωχh 2 ≤ 0.3, the sensitivities to all th...
متن کاملHow Dark is ‘Dark’? Electromagnetic Interactions in the Dark Sector
We review the physical and cosmological consequences of two possible electromagnetic couplings to the dark sector: (i) a neutral lightest dark-matter particle (LDP) with nonzero electric and/or magnetic dipole moments and (ii) a charged next-to-lightest dark-matter particle (NLDP) which decays to a neutral LDP. For scenario (i) we find that a relatively light particle with mass between a few Me...
متن کاملSinglet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملHow Lumpy is the Milky Way’s Dark Matter Halo?
CDM simulations predict that there are hundreds of lumps of with masses greater than 10M⊙ in the Milky Way halo. However, we know of only a dozen dwarf satellites close to this mass. Are these lumps simply lacking in stars or is there a fundamental flaw in our most popular cosmology? By studying the tidal debris of known satellites we can potentially address this question. In this paper, we qua...
