TLDR
In this article, the authors review the discovery reach of galactic dark matter directional detection and propose a method to detect galactic Dark Matter with a high significance or constrain WIMP and halo properties.Abstract:
Directional detection of galactic Dark Matter offers a unique opportunity to identify Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) events as such. Depending on the unknown WIMP-nucleon cross section, directional detection may be used to : exclude Dark Matter, discover galactic Dark Matter with a high significance or constrain WIMP and halo properties. We review the discovery reach of Dark Matter directional detection.read more

Relic neutralino surface at a 100 TeV collider
Joseph Bramante,Patrick J. Fox,Adam Martin,Bryan Ostdiek,Tilman Plehn,Torben Schell,Michihisa Takeuchi +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors map the parameter space for minimal supersymmetric Standard Model neutralino dark matter which freezes out to the observed relic abundance, in the limit that all superpartners except the neutralinos and charginos are decoupled, and show the dominant dark matter annihilation modes, the mass splittings among the electroweakinos, direct detection rates, and collider cross sections.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first dark matter limit from DMTPC from a surface run at MIT, in an analysis window of 80-200 keV recoil energy, based on a 35.7 g-day exposure, they set a 90% C.L. upper limit on the spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross section of 2.0 × 10 − 33 cm 2 for 115 GeV/c2.

Dark matter directionality revisited with a high pressure xenon gas detector
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the sensitivity of a future directional detector focused on the proposed high-pressure Xenon gas time projection chamber and showed that the directional information significantly improves precision measurements of dark matter mass and the elastic scattering cross section for a heavy dark matter.
Searching for Electroweakino Dark Matter at a Hadron Collider
TL;DR: Ostdiek et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a new strategy based on final states with missing transverse energy, a photon, and a dilepton pair, which preforms best when the mass splitting between the heavier neutralinos and the lightest neutralinos is less than the Z mass.

TL;DR: The NEWS project as discussed by the authors is a very innovative approach for a high sensitivity experiment aiming at the directional detection of WIMPs: the detector is based on a novel emulsion technology called NIT (Nano Imaging Trackers) acting both as target and tracking device.

Motion of the Earth and the detection of weakly interacting massive particles
TL;DR: The angular dependence and the amplitude of the seasonal modulation for an isothermal halo model is calculated and it is shown that Earth's motion relative to the galactic halo produces a seasonal modulation in the expected event rate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the maximum gap method, which finds the best gap between events for setting an upper limit, and generalize to "optimum interval" methods, which use intervals with especially few events.
