Effective theories for dark matter nucleon scattering

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reformulated the calculation of the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross sections based on the method of effective field theories, and showed that the scatterings are induced by the exchange of colored mediators, and construct the effective theories by integrating out the colored particles.

Model-Independent Determination of the WIMP Mass from Direct Dark Matter Detection Data

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-independent method for determining the mass of the WIMP by using data (i.e., measured recoil energies) of direct detection experiments is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct detection of nonchiral dark matter

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that fermion dark matter can be detected using a tree-level coupling to quarks via Higgs exchange, and a remaining irreducible radiative coupling may allow a detection.

Global fits of the dark matter-nucleon effective interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the 11-dimensional effective theory to current observations in a comprehensive statistical analysis of several direct detection experiments, including the recent LUX, SuperCDMS and CDMSlite results.

Review of Observational Evidence for Dark Matter in the Universe and in upcoming searches for Dark Stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the observational evidence for the existence of dark matter is reviewed: rotation curves of galaxies, weak lensing measurements, hot gas in clusters, primordial nucleosynthesis and microwave background experiments, which suggests that the first stars to exist in the universe were powered by dark matter heating rather than by fusion.

The Early Universe

TL;DR: In this article, the Robertson-Walker Metric is used to measure the radius of the Planck Epoch in the expanding universe, which is a measure of the number of atoms in the universe.

CP Violation in the Renormalizable Theory of Weak Interaction

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that no CP-violating interactions exist in the quartet scheme without introducing any other new fields, and that the strong interaction must be chiral SU ( 4) X SU( 4) invariant as precisely as the conservation of the third component of the iso-spin.

Partial Symmetries of Weak Interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the weak and electromagnetic interactions of leptons are examined under the hypothesis that the weak interactions are mediated by vector bosons, and it is shown that the simplest partially-symmetric model reproducing the observed electromagnetic and weak interactions requires the existence of at least four vector-boson fields (including the photon).
