The Role of Ionization Electrons in Direct Neutralino Detection
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we estimate the event rates of neutralino-nucleus scattering leading to electron emission by the atomic ionization. We find that the branching ratio for detecting electrons vis a vis the traditional neutralino nucleus elastic scattering sensitively depends on the threshold energy. In the case of a light target and a neutralino mass of 100 GeV we estimate it to be around 10 percent assuming a reasonable threshold energy of 250 eV.

The Role of Ionization Electrons in Direct Neutralino Detection
In this paper we estimate the event rates of neutralino-nucleus scattering leading to the atom ionization. We find that the branching ratio for detecting electrons vis a vis the traditional neutralino nucleus elastic scattering is between 2 and 8 percent.
متن کاملSome Issues Related to the Direct Detection of Dark Matter
We briefly review some theoretical issues involved in the direct detection of supersymmetric (SUSY) dark matter. After a brief discussion of the allowed SYSY parameter space, we focus on the determination of the traditional neutralino detection rates, in experiments which measure the energy of the recoiling nucleus, such as the coherent and spin induced rates and the dependence of the rate on t...

Exotic dark matter and dark energy together seem to dominate in the Universe. Supersymmetry naturally provides a candidate for the dark matter constituents via the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The most important process for directly detecting dark matter is the LSP-nucleus elastic scattering by measuring the energy of the recoiling nucleus. In the present work we explore a novel proc...
