A Brief Status of the Direct Search for WIMP Dark Matter
arXiv:1406.5200
Abstract
Recently, in February 2014, we held a comprehensive meeting at UCLA on the Search for Dark Matter. 190 scientists came to the meeting, many of the leaders in the field of WIMP Dark Matter searches. We first review the data from LUX that excludes the low-mass WIMP region and slightly lowers the XENON100 limits. We provide a brief review of the problems with the claimed low-mass signals. We discuss the current expectations for SUSY-WIMP Dark Matter and show why very massive detectors like Darwin may be required. We discuss some theoretical predictions from the meeting.
