نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential of GENIUS as a dark matter detector is discussed. A study was performed to demonstrate the good behaviour of the proposed detector design of naked HPGe-crystals in liquid nitrogen. The expected background components were simulated and are discussed in some detail.With the obtained background GENIUS could cover a large part of the favoured MSSM parameter-space.

GENIUS is a proposal for a large volume detector to search for rare events. An array of 40–400 ’naked’ HPGe detectors will be operated in a tank filled with ultrapure liquid nitrogen. After a description of performed technical studies of detector operation in liquid nitrogen and of Monte Carlo simulations of expected background components, the potential of GENIUS for detecting WIMP dark matter,...

Supersymmetry, along with its monozygotic sibling superstring theory, has become the dominant framework for formulating physics beyond the standard model. This despite the fact that, as of this morning, there is no unambiguous experimental evidence for either idea. Theorists find supersymmetry appealing for reasons which are both phenomenological and technical. In these lectures I will focus ex...

The purpose of the present paper is to study the neutrino properties as they may appear in the low energy neutrinos emitted in triton decay: 3 1 H → 3 2 He + e − + ˜ νe with maximum neutrino energy of 18.6 KeV. The technical challenges to this end can be summarized as building a very large TPC capable of detecting low energy recoils, down to a few 100 eV, within the required low background cons...

We examine the fixed points to first-order RG flow of a nonlinear sigma model with background metric, dilaton and tachyon fields. We show that on compact target spaces, the existence of fixed points with nonzero tachyon is linked to the sign of the second derivative of the tachyon potential V ′′(T ) (this is the analogue of a result of Bourguignon for the zerotachyon case). For a tachyon potent...
