Taking Halo-independent dark matter methods out of the bin
We develop a new halo-independent strategy for analyzing emerging DM hints, utilizing the method of extended maximum likelihood. This approach does not require the binning of events, making it uniquely suited to the analysis of emerging DM direct detection hints. It determines a preferred envelope, at a given confidence level, for the DM velocity integral which best fits the data using all avai...
متن کاملHalo-independent methods for inelastic dark matter scattering
We present halo-independent methods to analyze the results of dark matter direct detection experiments assuming inelastic scattering. We focus on the annual modulation signal reported by DAMA/LIBRA and present three different halo-independent tests. First, we compare it to the upper limit on the unmodulated rate from XENON100 using (a) the trivial requirement that the amplitude of the annual mo...
متن کاملWeighing the Dark Matter Halo
The dark matter problem will be solved only when all of the dark matter is accounted for. Although wimps may be discovered in direct detection experiments soon, we will not know what fraction of the dark matter halo they compose until we measure their local density. In this talk, I will offer a novel method to determine the mass of a wimp from direct detection experiments alone using kinematica...
متن کاملThe Indirect Detection of Halo Dark Matter
High energy particles are produced by the annihilation of dark matter particles in our galaxy. These are presently searched for using balloon-borne an-tiproton and positron detectors and large area, deep underground neutrino telescopes. Dark matter particles, trapped inside the sun, are an abundant source of such neutrinos. From both the cosmological and particle physics points of view the ligh...
متن کاملDirect detection of galactic halo dark matter.
The Milky Way galaxy contains a large, spherical component which is believed to harbor a substantial amount of unseen matter. Recent observations indirectly suggest that as much as half of this "dark matter" may be in the form of old, very cool white dwarfs, the remnants of an ancient population of stars as old as the galaxy itself. We conducted a survey to find faint, cool white dwarfs with la...
