Structure Formation & N-body simulations
Poster
We present a set of numerical Nbody simulations to investigate the formation of the outer Milky Way's halo trough accretion events. The aim is to explore the orbital conditions where a retrograde signal in the outer part of the halo can be obtained in order to give a possible explanation of the observed rotational properties of the Milky Way stellar halo.

Studies of dark matter particles are done , or by attempt to produce it ( i.e. by LHC ) or by searching indirect signs of it ( let think to Pamela signal for possible decay of dark matter particles in high energy electron ) In this paper it’s showed a new way to study dark matter and dark energy too . , The paper starts with a description of the citizen science project Galaxyzoo with an...

Dark Matter Direct Searches

The PAMELA satellite experiment is performing a precision study of the cosmic radiation with a particular focus on antiparticles. PAMELA is equipped with a silicon-microstrip magnetic spectrometer and silicon-tungsten imaging calorimeter. These two instruments allow particle species to be reliably identified. Particle rigidity and sign-of-charge is determined by fitting the track recorded by...

The direct search for dark matter experiment, XENON100, using liquid
xenon has been in the process of taking data since January 2010 and will con-
tinue to do so for another year to reach a never yet achieved sensitivity on the
WIMP cross section and ultimately, maybe detect a WIMP.
In addition, the experiment is already being pushed towards its next phase,
XENON1T, which will be much...

It is known that galactic centers could host single or
binary black holes, and observations show that black-hole
masses are correlated with the properties of galaxies.
Moreover, in terms of center's density profiles,
early-type galaxies can be classified into power-law or core
galaxies. Therefore, in this project, we study the dynamics
near galactic centers with given galactic...

We describe new instrumentation for the SIMPLE experiment, and its use in identifying, validating and rejecting non-WIMP backgrounds in the project measurements. Besides acoustic intrinsic discrimination, evidence is provided for a possible discrimination between alpha and neutron events via analysis of the signal parameters.

Using a 10cm-long time projection chamber operating at 40 Torrs, we measured the mobility and diffusion of CS2- ions using pure CS2 and using mixtures where He, Ne, Ar and CF4 were added as a second gas. Measurements were made with electric fields varying from 40 to 600 V/cm. The electron temperature and drift velocity for all those mixtures and fileds were obtained from the code MAGBOLTZ. ...

We study spectral evolution of galaxies in a magnitude limited sample in a pencil beam of ~10' x 10' from z = 1 down to 0.3. We concentrate on the large structures along the line of sight, and we bin our individual
galaxy spectra to obtain representative high S/N spectra of each structure. We divide the resulting average spectra in three groups to facilitate the analysis: galaxies with pure...

Energetic positrons produced in annihilation or decay of dark matter particles in the Milky Way can serve as an important indirect signature of dark matter. Computing the positron flux expected in a given dark matter model involves solving transport equations, which account for interaction of positrons with matter and galactic magnetic fields. Existing calculations solve the equations inside...
