  • Axions and Other Similar Particles
    1 91. Axions and Other Similar Particles 91. Axions and Other Similar Particles Revised October 2019 by A. Ringwald (DESY, Hamburg), L.J. Rosenberg (U. Washington) and G. Rybka (U. Washington). 91.1 Introduction In this section, we list coupling-strength and mass limits for light neutral scalar or pseudoscalar bosons that couple weakly to normal matter and radiation. Such bosons may arise from the spon- taneous breaking of a global U(1) symmetry, resulting in a massless Nambu-Goldstone (NG) boson. If there is a small explicit symmetry breaking, either already in the Lagrangian or due to quantum effects such as anomalies, the boson acquires a mass and is called a pseudo-NG boson. Typical examples are axions (A0)[1–4] and majorons [5], associated, respectively, with a spontaneously broken Peccei-Quinn and lepton-number symmetry. A common feature of these light bosons φ is that their coupling to Standard-Model particles is suppressed by the energy scale that characterizes the symmetry breaking, i.e., the decay constant f. The interaction Lagrangian is −1 µ L = f J ∂µ φ , (91.1) where J µ is the Noether current of the spontaneously broken global symmetry. If f is very large, these new particles interact very weakly. Detecting them would provide a window to physics far beyond what can be probed at accelerators. Axions are of particular interest because the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) mechanism remains perhaps the most credible scheme to preserve CP-symmetry in QCD. Moreover, the cold dark matter (CDM) of the universe may well consist of axions and they are searched for in dedicated experiments with a realistic chance of discovery.

Comparison with luminous mass: → a major accounting problem! Including observations of the expansion history lead to the Standard Model of Cosmology: accounting defcit solved by ~68% Dark Energy, ~27% Dark Matter and <5% “regular” (baryonic) matter. ● Other lines of evidence probe properties of matter under the infuence of gravity: ▸ the equation of state of oscillating matter as observed through fuctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (acoustic peaks).

  • Latest Results of the Direct Dark Matter Search with the EDELWEISS-II Experiment
    Latest results of the direct dark matter search with the EDELWEISS-II experiment Gilles Gerbier1 for the EDELWEISS collaboration 1IRFU/SPP, CEA Saclay, , 91191 Gif s Yvette, France DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3204/DESY-PROC-2010-03/gerbier gilles The EDELWEISS-II experiment uses cryogenic heat-and-ionization Germanium detectors in order to detect the rare interactions from WIMP dark matter particles of local halo. New-generation detectors with an interleaved electrode geometry were developped and val- idated, enabling an outstanding gamma-ray and surface interaction rejection. We present here preliminary results of a one-year WIMP search carried out with 10 of such detectors in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane. A sensitivity to the spin-independent WIMP- 8 nucleon cross-section of 5 10− pb was achieved using a 322 kg.days effective exposure. × We also present the current status of the experiment and prospects to improve the present sensitivity by an order of magnitude in the near future. 1 The Edelweiss II set up and the detectors Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are a class of particles now widely considered as one of the most likely explanation for the various observations of dark matter from the largest scales of the Universe to galactic scales. The collisions of WIMPs on ordinary matter are ex- pected to generate mostly elastic scatters off nuclei, characterised by low-energy deposits (<100 keV) with an exponential-like spectrum, and a very low interaction rate, currently constrained at the level of 1 event/kg/year. Detecting these events requires an ultralow radioactivity envi- ronment as well as detectors with a low energy threshold and an active rejection of the residual backgrounds [1].

Ultra-weak gravitational field theory Daniel KORENBLUM [email protected] April 2018 Abstract The standard model of the Big Bang cosmology model ΛCDM 1 considers that more than 95 % of the matter of the Universe consists of particles and energy of unknown forms. It is likely that General Relativity (GR)2, which is not a quantum theory of gravitation, needs to be revised in order to free the cosmological model of dark matter and dark energy. The purpose of this document, whose approach is to hypothesize the existence of the graviton, is to enrich the GR to make it consistent with astronomical observations and the hypothesis of a fully baryonic Universe while maintaining the formalism at the origin of its success. The proposed new model is based on the quantum character of the gravitational field. This non-intrusive approach offers a privileged theoretical framework for probing the properties of the regime of ultra-weak gravitational fields in which the large structures of the Universe are im- mersed.

Abstract Although the first hints towards dark matter were discovered almost 100 years ago, little is known today about its properties. Also, dark matter has so far only been inferred through astronomical and cosmological observations. In this work, we therefore investi- gate the influence of astrophysical assumptions on the interpretation of direct searches for dark matter. For this, we assume that dark matter is a weakly interacting massive particle. First, we discuss the development of a new analysis method for direct dark matter searches. Starting from the decomposition of the dark matter velocity distribu- tion into streams, we present a method that is completely independent of astrophysical assumptions. We extend this by using an effective theory for the interaction of dark matter with nucleons. This allows to analyze experiments with minimal assumptions on the particle physics of dark matter. Finally, we improve our method so that arbitrarily strong deviations from a reference velocity distribution can be considered.

These laboratories offer low background radiation for sensitive detection systems with an external users group for research in nuclear physics, astroparticle physics, and dark matter. The individual entries on the Deep Underground Laboratories are primarily the responses obtained through a questionnaire that was circulated. In a few cases, entries were taken from the public information supplied on the lab’s website. The information was provided on a voluntary basis and not all laboratories included in this list have completed construction, as a result, there are some unavoidable gaps. - 3 - ________________________________________________________SNOLAB (CANADA) SNOLAB 1039 Regional Road 24, Creighton Mine #9, Lively ON Canada P3Y 1N2 Telephone: 705-692-7000 Facsimile: 705-692-7001 Email: [email protected] Website: www.snolab.ca Oversight and governance of the SNOLAB facility and the operational management is through the SNOLAB Institute Board of Directors, whose member institutions are Carleton University, Laurentian University, Queen’s University, University of Alberta and the Université de Montréal.
