CDMS experiments for mirror matter - type dark matter

چکیده

We re-analyse the implications of the DAMA/NaI experiment for mirror matter-type dark matter, taking into account information from the energy dependence of the DAMA annual modulation signal. This is combined with the null results from the CDMS experiment, leading to fairly well defined allowed regions of parameter space. The allowed regions of parameter space will be probed in the near future by the DAMA/LIBRA, CDMS, and other experiments, which should either exclude or confirm this explanation of the DAMA/NaI annual modulation signal. In particular, we predict that the CDMS experiments should find a positive signal around the threshold recoil energy region, E R < 15 keV in the near future.

Mirror dark matter and the new DAMA / LIBRA results : A simple explanation for a beautiful experiment

Recently, the DAMA/LIBRA experiment has convincingly confirmed the DAMA/NaI annual modulation signal, experimentally demonstrating the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in the halo of our galaxy. Meanwhile, in another part of town, other experiments such as CDMS and XENON10 have not detected any evidence for dark matter. One promising dark matter candidate which can reconcile the positive D...

Reconciling the positive DAMA annual modulation signal with the negative results of the CDMS II experiment

We examine the recent CDMS II results in the context of the mirror matter interpretation of the DAMA/NaI experiment. We find that the favoured mirror matter interpretation of the DAMA/NaI experiment – a He ′ /H ′ dominated halo with a small O ′ component is fully consistent with the null results reported by CDMS II. While the CDMS II experiment is quite sensitive to a heavy F e ′ component, and...

A MEMS Mirror Laser-Guidance System for CDMS Experiments

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is an experiment to directly detect dark matter, a mysterious substance that makes up the majority of the matter content in the Universe and has so far only been observed due to its gravitational effects. CDMS uses high-purity Ge (HPGe) crystals as detectors for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP). In order to reduce sys...
