Generalized Analysis of Weakly-Interacting Massive Particle Searches [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2003
We perform a generalized analysis of data from WIMP search experiments for point-like WIMPs of arbitrary spin and general Lorenz-invariant WIMP-nucleus interaction. We show that in the non-relativistic limit only spin-independent (SI) and spin-dependent (SD) WIMP-nucleon interactions survive, which can be parameterized by only five independent ...

Direct dark matter searches review

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Direct Dark Matter Searches are experiments looking for the energetic recoils due to the scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) from our galactic halo on nuclei in a terrestrial target.

The WIMP paradigm: Theme and variations

SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2023
WIMPs, weakly-interacting massive particles, have been leading candidates for particle dark matter for decades, and they remain a viable and highly motivated possibility.

Search for low-mass weakly interacting massive particles using voltage-assisted calorimetric ionization detection in the SuperCDMS experiment. [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2013
SuperCDMS is an experiment designed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a favored candidate for dark matter ubiquitous in the Universe.

Searches for atmospheric long-lived particles

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020
Long-lived particles are predicted in extensions of the Standard Model that involve relatively light but very weakly interacting sectors. In this paper we consider the possibility that some of these particles are produced in atmospheric cosmic ray ...

Weakly interacting massive particle-nucleus elastic scattering response [PDF]

Physical Review C, 2014
A model independent formulation of WIMP-nucleon scattering was recently developed in Galileaninvariant effective field theory and embedded in the nucleus, determining the most general WIMP-nucleus elastic response. This formulation shows that the standard description of WIMP elastic scattering in terms spin-dependent and spin-independent responses ...

Ghost particles in the universe: Neutrinos in astrophysics and cosmology

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2017
  Neutrinos are nearly massless and very difficult to detect because they interact so very weakly. Sixty years after seeing the first of these «ghost particles» we know a lot about their properties.

Implications of a solar-system population of massive 4th generation neutrinos for underground searches of monochromatic neutrino-annihilation signals [PDF]

, 2002
It has been recently pointed out that any primary galactic population of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) generates, through collisions with solar matter, a secondary population of ``slow'' WIMPs trapped in the inner solar system. We show that
