The well-tempered neutralino

The Well-tempered Computer

The psychological mechanism by which even musically untutored people can comprehend novel melodies resembles that by which they comprehend sentences of their native language. The paper identifies a syntax, a semantics, and a domain or “model”. These elements are examined in application to the task of harmonic comprehension and analysis of unaccompanied melody, and a computational theory is argu...

- 06 Target dark matter detection rates in models with a well - tempered neutralino

In the post-LEP2 era, and in light of recent measurements of the cosmic abundance of cold dark matter (CDM) in the universe from WMAP, many supersymmetric models tend to predict 1. an overabundance of CDM and 2. pessimistically low rates for direct detection of neutralino dark matter. However, in models with a " well-tempered neutralino " , where the neutralino composition is adjusted to give t...

The well-tempered auxiliary-field Monte Carlo.

The auxiliary-field Monte Carlo (AFMC) is a method for computing ground-state and excited-state energies and other properties of electrons in molecules. For a given basis set, AFMC is an approximation to full-configuration interaction and the accuracy is determined predominantly by an inverse temperature "beta" parameter. A considerable amount of the dynamical correlation energy is recovered ev...
