Primordial black holes as a dark matter candidate - a brief overview

open access: yesNuclear Physics B
Historically the most popular dark matter candidates have been new elementary particles, such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles and axions. However Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), black holes formed from overdensities in the early Universe, are ...

Rapid Sintering of Porous Organic Polymer Powders Into Mechanically Strong Monoliths for Efficient CO2 Capture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spark plasma sintering enables rapid processing of porous organic polymer (POP) from fine powders to a freestanding and mechanically robust monolith. The sintering process retains the CO2 adsorption capacity and CO2/N2 selectivity, making the monolith more suitable as a solid sorbent for practical carbon capture applications.

PICASSO, COUPP and PICO - search for dark matter with bubble chambers

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The PICASSO and COUPP collaborations use superheated liquid detectors to search for cold dark matter through the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). These experiments, located in the underground laboratory of SNOLAB, Canada,

The XENON project for dark matter direct detection at LNGS

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
The XENON project at INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy, aims at dark matter direct detection with liquid xenon dual-phase time projection chambers. Latest results of XENON100 detector exclude various models of leptophilic dark matter.

Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to light dark matter

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Dark matter is a well-established theoretical addition to the Standard Model supported by many observations in modern astrophysics and cosmology. In this context, the existence of weakly interacting massive particles represents an appealing solution to ...

Results from the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment at Soudan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We report the result of a blinded search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using the majority of the SuperCDMS Soudan dataset. With an exposure of 1690 kg days, a single candidate event is observed, consistent with expected backgrounds ...

Are direct search experiments sensitive to all spin-independent weakly interacting massive particles? [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2005
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, i.e., that the spin-independent interaction is also fully ...

Can the Inflaton Also Be a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle? [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2019
We propose a class of models in which a stable inflaton is produced as a thermal relic in the early Universe and constitutes the dark matter. We show that inflaton annihilations can efficiently reheat the Universe, and identify several examples of inflationary potentials that can accommodate all cosmic microwave background observables and in which the ...

Emergent Spin‐Glass Behavior in an Iron(II)‐Based Metal–Organic Framework Glass

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A one‐pot, solvent‐free synthesis yields an Fe2+‐based metal‐organic framework (MOF) glass featuring a continuous random network structure. The material exhibits spin‐glass freezing at 14 K, driven by topological‐disorder and short‐range magnetic frustration, showcasing the potential of MOF glasses as a plattform for cooperative magnetic phenomena in ...

First Dark Matter Limits from a Large-Mass, Low-Background Superheated Droplet Detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We report on the fabrication aspects and calibration of the first large active mass ($\sim15$ g) modules of SIMPLE, a search for particle dark matter using Superheated Droplet Detectors (SDDs).
