Relic neutralinos
A. Bottino, N. Fornengo, S. Scopel
Phenomenology of relic neutralinos is analyzed in an effective supersymmetric scheme at the electroweak scale. It is shown that current direct experiments for WIMPs, when interpret…
Physics Potential and Prospects for CUORE and CUORICINO experiments
I. G. Irastorza, A. Morales, S. Scopel +1
The CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) experiment projects to construct and operate an array of 1000 cryogenic thermal detectors of a mass of 760 g each to i…
Theoretical expectations and experimental prospects for solar axions searches with crystal detectors
S. Scopel, I. G. Irastorza, S. Cebrian +9
A calculation of the expected signal due to Primakov coherent conversion of solar axions into photons via Bragg scattering in several solid--state detectors is presented and compar…
Neutralinos as Dark Matter Candidates
A. Bottino, N. Fornengo, G. Mignola +1
We review some properties of the neutralino as a candidate for dark matter in the Universe. After presentation of evaluations for the neutralino relic abundance, possibilities for…
