The Status of Inelastic Dark Matter
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.

Fracture processes studied in CRESST
In the early stages of running of the CRESST dark matter search with sapphire crystals as detectors, an unexpectedly high rate of signal pulses appeared. Their origin was finally traced to fracture events in the sapphire due to the very tight clamping of the detectors.

Rapid growth of a carbonate island over the last millennium
Abstract Low‐lying islands in tropical regions are vulnerable to near‐term sea‐level rise and hurricane‐induced flooding, with substantial human impact. These risks motivate researchers to elucidate the processes and timescales involved in the formation, growth and stabilization of coastlines through the study of Holocene shoreline dynamics.

Are direct search experiments sensitive to all spin-independent WIMP candidates?
The common analysis of direct searches for spin-independent Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) assumes that a spin-independent WIMP couples with the same strength with both nucleons, \textit{i.e.} that the spin-independent interaction is also ...

Abstract We present the current status of CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search using Superconducting Thermometers) project and new results concerning detector development. The basic technique involved is to search for WIMPs by the measurement of non-thermal phonons, as created by WIMP-induced nuclear recoils.

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

In recent times, the sensitivity of low-mass direct dark matter searches has been limited by unknown low energy backgrounds close to the energy threshold of the experiments known as the low energy excess (LEE).

Update on Light WIMP Limits: LUX, lite and Light
We reexamine the current direct dark matter data including the recent CDMSlite and LUX data, assuming that the dark matter consists of light WIMPs, with mass close to 10 GeV/$c^2$ with spin-independent and isospin-conserving or isospin-violating ...

The CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment at the Gran Sasso Laboratory will search for dark matter WIMPs using cryogenic detectors. In the first stage we will use four 262 g sapphire crystals with thresholds of about 0.5 keV.
