متن کاملA New WIMP Population in the Solar System and New Signals for Dark-Matter Detectors
We describe in detail how perturbations due to the planets can cause a subpopulation of WIMPs captured by scattering in surface layers of the Sun to evolve to have orbits that no longer intersect the Sun. We argue that such WIMPs, if their orbit has a semi-major axis less than 1/2 of Jupiter’s, can persist in the solar system for cosmological timescales. This leads to a new, previously unantici...
متن کاملExclusion Limits on the WIMP-Nucleon Elastic-Scattering Cross Section from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
Exclusion Limits on the WIMP-Nucleon Elastic-Scattering Cross Section from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search by Sunil Ramanlal Golwala Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California at Berkeley Professor Bernard Sadoulet, Chair Extensive evidence indicates that a large fraction of the matter in the universe is nonluminous, nonbaryonic, and “cold” — nonrelativistic at the time matter be...
متن کاملDesign Constraints for a WIMP Dark Matter and pp Solar Neutrino Liquid Neon Scintillation Detector
Detailed Monte-Carlo simulations were used to evaluate the performance of a liquid neon scintillation detector for dark matter and low-energy solar neutrino interactions. A maximum-likelihood event vertex fitter including PMT time information was developed, which significantly improves position resolution over spatial-only algorithms, and substantially decreases the required detector size and a...
متن کاملOptimizing WIMP directional detectors
We study the dependence of the exposure required to directly detect a WIMP directional recoil signal on the capabilities of a directional detector. Specifically we consider variations in the nuclear recoil energy threshold, the background rate, whether the detector measures the recoil momentum vector in 2 or 3 dimensions and whether or not the sense of the momentum vector can be determined. We ...
