Neutralino dark matter beyond CMSSM universality
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of departures from SUSY GUT universality on the neutralino relic density, and both its direct and indirect detection, especially by neutrino telescopes, was studied.

TL;DR: The Dark Matter Experiment using Argon Pulse-shape discrimination (DEAP) has been designed for a direct detection search for particle dark matter using a single-phase liquid argon target as mentioned in this paper, and the projected cross section sensitivity for DEAP-3600 to the spin-independent scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) on nucleons is 10−46cm2 for a 100 GeV/c2 WIMP mass with a fiducial exposure of 3 tonne-years.

Minimal theory for lepto-baryons
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the simplest models where baryon and lepton numbers are defined as local symmetries spontaneously broken at the low scale and discuss the implications for cosmology.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the possibility that dark matter interactions with Standard Model particles are dominated by interactions with neutrinos and examine whether it is possible to construct such a scenario in a gauge invariant manner.

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 particle mass.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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).
