  1. 54. Laboratory Searches for Dark Matter Signatures with Electron Beams at JLAB
    Andrei Afanasev (Hampton University/JLAB)

    Dark Matter Direct Searches
    Talk
    Cosmology and astrophysics indicate that our Universe contains a considerable amount of `dark matter’ that is associated with an unknown elementary particle. LIPSS experiment at Jefferson Lab used a high average-power laser beam from a Free Electron Laser to probe for two-photon coupling of such particles using a `light shining through a wall’ technique. Non-observation of a new scalar boson...

  2. 95. Direct detection data and possible hints for low-mass WIMPs
    Thomas Schwetz-Mangold (Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics)

    Talk
    I discuss the status of data from direct detection experiments including DAMA, CDMS, CoGeNT and others, with a particular emphasis on the WIMP mass region around 10 GeV. The possibility to explain these data in terms of spin-independent or spin-dependent elastic or inelastic scattering is discussed.

  3. 37. Identification of galactic Dark Matter with directional detection

    Dark Matter Indirect Searches
    Talk
    Directional detection of galactic Dark Matter is a promising search strategy for discriminating genuine WIMP events from background ones. Indeed, due to the Earth rotation around the Galactic center through the dark matter halo, the WIMP-induced recoil distribution should be pointing toward the Cygnus Constellation. I will present a comprehensive statistical method allowing to recover...

  4. 97. Neutron background studies for direct dark matter searches in LSM
    Dr Valentin KOZLOV (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)

    Talk
    One of the most promising particle candidates for DM is the supersymmetric neutralino or more generally a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP). The expected interaction rate of WIMPs in direct search experiments is below 0.01 events / (kg day), thus rising up the importance of having a detailed understanding of potential background. Ambient and muon-induced neutrons constitute a...
