Boosted dark matter quarrying at surface neutrino detectors

Coherent neutrino scattering in dark matter detectors

Testing Dark Matter with Neutrino Detectors

Neutrinos are the least detectable Standard Model particle. By making use of this fact, we consider dark matter annihilations and decays in the galactic halo and show how present and future neutrino detectors could be used to set general limits on the dark matter annihilation cross section and on the dark matter lifetime.

Gaseous Dark Matter Detectors

Dark Matter detectors with directional sensitivity have the potential of yielding an unambiguous positive observation of WIMPs as well as discriminating between galactic Dark Matter halo models. In this article, we introduce the motivation for directional detectors, discuss the experimental techniques that make directional detection possible, and review the status of the experimental effort in ...

Dirac Neutrino Dark Matter

We investigate the possibility that dark matter is made of heavy Dirac neutrinos with mass m ∈ [O(1) GeV– a few TeV] and with suppressed but non-zero coupling to the Standard Model Z as well as a coupling to an additional Z ′ gauge boson. The first part of this paper provides a model-independent analysis for the relic density and direct detection in terms of four main parameters: the mass, the ...

Neutrino Dark Matter

There is a puzzling contradiction: direct observations favor a low-mass density universe, but the only model which fits universe structure over more than three orders of magnitude in distance scale has a mix of hot (neutrino) and cold dark matter constituting a critical density universe. If all present indications for neutrino mass are valid, that hot dark matter is shared by two neutrino speci...
