In dark-matter detectors, three processes that arise from interactions with high-energy particles mimic sought-after signals, explaining observed excesses and requiring mitigation to discover low-mass dark matter.

This paper details an equation that identifies the sequence and calculation for the mass of the six leptons in the Standard Model. Surprisingly, when identifying the sequence, the magic numbers that were found in the Periodic Table of Elements for the atomic structure are also apparent in the sequence for leptons. As a result, a new table structure for lepton categorization in the Standard Mode...

It has been argued that the anomalous emission from the region around the Galactic Center observed by WMAP, known as the WMAP Haze, may be the synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons and positrons produced in dark matter annihilations. In particular, the angular distribution, spectrum, and intensity of the observed emission are consistent with the signal expected to result from a WIMP ...

The goal of the current study was to examine whether explaining to another person improves learning and transfer. In the study, 4- and 5-year-olds (N=54) solved multiple classification problems, received accuracy feedback, and were prompted to explain the correct solutions to their moms, to explain the correct solutions to themselves, or to repeat the solutions. Generating explanations (to selv...

Galactic warps represent an old unresolved problem, since the discovery, at the end of the fifties, of the HI warp of the Milky Way. In this paper, we propose a new scenario explaining a large fraction of the observed optical warps. Based on N-body simulations, we show that realistic galactic disks, where the dark matter is essentially distributed in a disk, are subject to bending instabilities...

Abstract The equilibrium cold dark matter halos show the almost universal inner r − 1 {r}^{-1} cusps, whose physical origin is still not completely clear. This work tries to further clarify this problem by Landau–Ginzburg (LG) theory, which often used stud...
