Complementarity of Dark Matter Direct Detection Targets
Miguel Pato, Laura Baudis, Gianfranco Bertone +3
We investigate the reconstruction capabilities of Dark Matter mass and spin-independent cross-section from future ton-scale direct detection experiments using germanium, xenon or a…
The moment of truth for WIMP Dark Matter
Gianfranco Bertone
We know that dark matter constitutes 85% of all the matter in the Universe, but we do not know of what it is made. Amongst the many Dark Matter candidates proposed, WIMPs (weakly i…
Discriminating the source of high-energy positrons with AMS-02
Miguel Pato, Massimiliano Lattanzi, Gianfranco Bertone
We study the prospects for discriminating between the dark matter (DM) and pulsar origin of the PAMELA positron excess with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02. We simulate the…
Global fits of the Minimal Universal Extra Dimensions scenario
Gianfranco Bertone, Kyoungchul Kong, Roberto Ruiz de Austri +1
In theories with Universal Extra-Dimensions (UED), the gamma_1 particle, first excited state of the hypercharge gauge boson, provides an excellent Dark Matter (DM) candidate. Here…
Systematic uncertainties in the determination of the local dark matter density
Miguel Pato, Oscar Agertz, Gianfranco Bertone +2
A precise determination of the local dark matter density and an accurate control over the corresponding uncertainties are of paramount importance for Dark Matter (DM) searches. Usi…
Astrophysical limitations to the identification of dark matter: indirect neutrino signals vis-a-vis direct detection recoil rates
Pasquale D. Serpico, Gianfranco Bertone
A convincing identification of dark matter (DM) particles can probably be achieved only through a combined analysis of different detections strategies, which provides an effective…
