Review of mathematics, numerical factors, and corrections for dark matter experiments based on elastic nuclear recoil

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic derivation and discussion of the practical formulae needed to design and interpret direct searches for nuclear recoil events caused by hypothetical weakly interacting dark matter particles.

Cosmology and Fundamental Physics with the Euclid Satellite

Luca Amendola, +81 more
TL;DR: Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in 2020 within the cosmic vision 2015-2025 program as discussed by the authors, which will explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of cosmic structures by measuring shapes and red-shift of galaxies as well as the distribution of clusters of galaxies over a large fraction of the sky.

PPPC 4 DM ID: a poor particle physicist cookbook for dark matter indirect detection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide ingredients and recipes for computing signals of TeV-scale Dark Matter annihilations and decays in the Galaxy and beyond, and provide the propagation functions for charged particles in the galaxy, for several DM distribution profiles and sets of propagation parameters.

Dark matter search results from the CDMS II experiment.

TL;DR: The results from the completed Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment, which searched for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP), cannot be interpreted with confidence as evidence for WIMP interactions, but neither event can be ruled out as representing signal.

Spontaneous breaking of R parity in the minimal supersymmetric standard model revisited

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the possibility of spontaneous breaking of R parity in the minimal supersymmetric standard model and analyze the effect of operators giving rise to a tiny amount of explicit violation of lepton number, leading to the appearance of a phenomenologically unacceptable massless Goldstone boson.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy triplet neutrinos as a new dark-matter option

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new scheme where dark matter is made of heavy stable neutral particles N, possibly even lighter than 1 2 m Z, but uncoupled to the Z 0.

Rare Kaon Processes as a Probe of the Top Quark and Gravitino Masses in Local Supersymmetric ({SUSY}) Theories

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the rare K processes in local SUSY theories is given, and it is shown that the top quark mass cannot be much higher than O(100 GeV) without making the gravitino mass lower than O (20 GeV).
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct versus indirect searches for neutralino dark matter

TL;DR: In this paper, a direct search for neutralino dark matter is analyzed in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, using a realistic evaluation of the neutralino relic abundance which also includes radiative corrections to the Higgs masses.

Spontaneous Breaking of R parity in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model Revisited

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the possibility of spontaneous breaking of $R$ parity in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, leading to the appearance of a phenomenologically unacceptable massless Goldstone boson and analyze the effect of operators giving rise to a tiny amount of explicit violation of lepton number.
