Search for low mass WIMP dark matter with DarkSide-50
نویسندگان
چکیده
DarkSide-50 is a direct dark matter detection experiment at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso that uses argon as the target material. Exploiting ionization signal from dual-phase time projection chamber filled with low-radioactivity argon, it has set most stringent exclusion limit on WIMPs mass of few \mathrm{GeV}/c^2 GeV/c2 . A new analysis recently been carried out larger exposure, profiting an improved understanding detector response and background model. An improvement about factor 10 in sensitivity expected for WIMP 2 GeV/c ^2 display="inline">2

DARWIN: dark matter WIMP search with noble liquids
DARWIN (dark matter wimp search with noble liquids) is a design study for a nextgeneration, multi-ton dark matter detector in Europe. Liquid argon and/or liquid xenon are the target media for the direct detection of dark matter candidates in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Light and charge signals created by particle interactions in the active detector volume are obser...
متن کاملSecluded WIMP Dark Matter
We consider a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMP annihilation to metastable mediators with subsequent delayed decay to Standard Model states. We illustrate this with explicit examples of WIMPs connected to the Standard Model by metastable bosons or fermions. In all models, provided the WIMP ma...
متن کاملWimp and Axion Dark Matter
There is almost universal agreement among cosmologists that most of the matter in the Universe is dark, and there are very good reasons to believe that most of this dark matter must be nonbaryonic. The two leading candidates for this dark matter are axions and weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs), such as the neutralino in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. I discuss the a...
متن کاملLimits on WIMP Dark Matter
The current state searches for dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using both direct and indirect techniques is reviewed. Advances in recent years by various direct search experiments, utilising technology able to record the nuclear recoil events expected from elastic scattering by WIMPs, have allowed progress towards lower limits to be made. In particular, t...
متن کاملWIMP Dark Matter and Neutrino Mass from Peccei-Quinn Symmetry
The Peccei-Quinn anomalous global U(1)PQ symmetry is important for solving the strong CP problem with a cosmologically relevant axion. We add to this the simple (but hitherto unexplored) observation that it also has a residual Z2 symmetry which may be responsible for a second component of dark matter, i.e. an absolutely stable weakly interacting singlet scalar. This new insight provides a theor...
