We consider laboratory experiments that can detect stable, neutral strongly interacting massive particles (SIMPs). We explore the SIMP annihilation cross section from its minimum value (restricted by cosmological bounds) to the barn range, and vary the mass values from a GeV to a TeV. We also consider the prospects and problems of detecting such particles at the Tevatron.
متن کاملCracking Open the Window for Strongly Interacting Massive Particles as the Halo Dark Matter
In the early 1990's, an analysis was completed by several theorists of the available mass/cross-section parameter space for unusual particle candidates to solve the dark matter problem, e.g. strongly interacting massive particles (SIMPs). This analysis found several unconstrained windows , such that for SIMP masses and cross-sections within these windows, SIMPs could still be the dominant dark ...
متن کاملDirect and Indirect Searches for Dark Matter in the Form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (wimps)
Numerous lines of evidence indicate that the matter content of the Universe is dominated by some unseen component. Determining the nature of this Dark Matter is one of the most important problems in cosmology. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are widely considered to be one of the best candidates which may comprise the Dark Matter. A brief overview of the different methods being use...
متن کاملWimp Searches with Superheated Droplet Detectors: Status and Prospects
SIMPLE (Superheated Instrument for Massive ParticLE searches) employs superheated droplet detectors (SDDs) to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter. As a result of the intrinsic SDD insensitivity to minimum ionizing particles and high fluorine content of target liquids, competitive WIMP limits were already obtained at the early prototype stage. We comment here on the...
متن کاملStatus and Perspectives of Indirect Search for Dark Matter
I summarize here and discuss the results of presently operating neutrino telescopes in searching for a singnal of dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).
