Identifying WIMP dark matter from particle and astroparticle data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
One of the most promising strategies to identify the nature of dark matter consists in the search for new particles at accelerators and with so-called direct detection experiments.

A Low‐Viscosity Lower Lunar Mantle Implied by Measured Monthly and Yearly Tides

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2024.
Abstract The Moon's frequency‐dependent tidal response, expressed as temporal variations in its gravity field through the Love number k2 ${k}_{2}$ and as dissipation through the quality factor Q $Q$, provides information about its interior structure. Lunar laser ranging has provided measurements for Q $Q$, but so far no frequency‐dependent values for ...

Characterizing Precipitation Behaviors of H− in the Martian Atmosphere

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 129, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Solar wind protons can charge exchange with the extensive hydrogen corona of Mars, resulting in a significant flux of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs). As these solar wind hydrogen ENAs precipitate into the upper atmosphere, they can experience electron attachment or detachment, resulting in populations of H− and H+, respectively, with upstream ...

The Status of Inelastic Dark Matter

open access: yes, 2004
In light of recent positive results from the DAMA experiment, as well as new null results from CDMS Soudan, Edelweiss, ZEPLIN-I and CRESST, we reexamine the framework of inelastic dark matter with a standard halo.

Dark Matter Direct Detection with Non-Maxwellian Velocity Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The velocity distribution function of dark matter particles is expected to show significant departures from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. This can have profound effects on the predicted dark matter - nucleon scattering rates in direct detection ...

Peaked Signals from Dark Matter Velocity Structures in Direct Detection Experiments

open access: yes, 2010
In direct dark matter detection experiments, conventional elastic scattering of WIMPs results in exponentially falling recoil spectra. In contrast, theories of WIMPs with excited states can lead to nuclear recoil spectra that peak at finite recoil ...

Multi-Scalar-Singlet Extension of the Standard Model - the Case for Dark Matter and an Invisible Higgs Boson

open access: yes, 2012
We consider a simple extension of the Standard Model by the addition of N real scalar gauge singlets $\vp$ that are candidates for Dark Matter. By collecting theoretical and experimental constraints we determine the space of allowed parameters of the ...

Negative Lags on the Viscous Timescale in Quasar Photometry and Prospects for Detecting More with LSST

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The variability of quasar light curves can be used to study the structure of quasar accretion disks. For example, continuum reverberation mapping uses delays between variability in short and long wavelength bands ( short lags) to measure the radial ...

Chasing a consistent picture for dark matter direct searches

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we assess the present status of dark matter direct searches by means of Bayesian statistics. We consider three particle physics models for spin-independent dark matter interaction with nuclei: elastic, inelastic and isospin violating ...
