NEMESIS setup for Indirect Detection of WIMPs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We summarize the evidence for DM-like anomalies in neutron multiplicity spectra collected underground with Pb targets by three independent experiments: NEMESIS (at 210 m.w.e.) NMDS 583 m.w.e.), and ZEPLIN-II 2850 m.w.e.). A new analysis shows small but persistent at high multiplicities. Adjusted differences detection efficiencies, positions of are consistent between systems. Also, intensities match when corrected acquisition time estimated efficiency. While measurements inconclusive analyzed separately, together, they exclude a statistical fluke to better than one million. To prove existence above 5-sigma discovery threshold, we propose upgrade current setup. The concept critical components experiment described. upgraded setup would already acquire needed data sample during first year operation. Additional information, vital physics interpretation analysis, will be obtained Cu target.

Direct and Indirect Detection of Wimps
We present here the principles of detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles , which could represent a large contribution to Dark Matter. A status of the experimental situation is given both for indirect and direct detection. In particular , the DAMA claim for a WIMP signal is confronted to the recent results of the CDMS and EDELWEISS experiments. We conclude by comparing direct and indi...
متن کاملDirect Detection of WIMPs
In the next chapters we are going to give an overview of the main WIMP search strategies, which fall in three big categories: • Direct searches probe the scattering cross section of WIMPs with nuclei, by looking for nuclear recoils in some target material in a low background environment. When a WIMP of the galactic halo passes through the target, it may scatter off a nucleus, whose recoil will ...

متن کاملDynamics of WIMPs in the Solar System and Implications for Direct and Indirect Detection
Semi-analytic treatments of the evolution of orbits of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the solar system suggest that the WIMPs bound to the solar system may enhance the direct detection rate relative to that of the unbound population by up to a factor of order unity, and boost the flux of neutrinos from WIMP annihilation in the Earth by up to two orders of magnitude. To test the...
متن کاملHiggs Bosons and the Indirect Search for WIMPs
We investigated the contribution of the MSSM Higgs bosons produced in the neutralino annihilation in the Earth and Sun to the total WIMPs detection signal. We found that this contribution is very important and results in a lower bound for the muon flux from the Sun of 10 ÷ 10 m yr for neutralinos heavier than about 200 GeV. We noticed that due to the SUSY charged Higgs bosons one can expect an ...
