Paleo-Detectors for Galactic Supernova Neutrinos
Sebastian Baum, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Bradley J. Kavanagh +5
Paleo-detectors are a proposed experimental technique in which one would search for traces of recoiling nuclei in ancient minerals. Natural minerals on Earth are as old as $\mathca…
Digging for Dark Matter: Spectral Analysis and Discovery Potential of Paleo-Detectors
Thomas D. P. Edwards, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Christoph Weniger +5
Paleo-detectors are a recently proposed method for the direct detection of Dark Matter (DM). In such detectors, one would search for the persistent damage features left by DM--nucl…
Paleo-detectors: Searching for Dark Matter with Ancient Minerals
Andrzej K. Drukier, Sebastian Baum, Katherine Freese +2
We explore paleo-detectors as an approach to the direct detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter radically different from conventional detectors. Instead…
Searching for Dark Matter with Paleo-Detectors
Sebastian Baum, Andrzej K. Drukier, Katherine Freese +2
A large experimental program is underway to extend the sensitivity of direct detection experiments, searching for interaction of Dark Matter with nuclei, down to the neutrino floor…
New Dark Matter Detector using Nanoscale Explosives
Alejandro Lopez, Andrzej Drukier, Katherine Freese +2
We present nanoscale explosives as a novel type of dark matter detector and study the ignition properties. When a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle WIMP from the Galactic Halo el…
New class of biological detectors for WIMPs
Andrzej K. Drukier, Charles Cantor, Mark Chonofsky +7
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) may constitute a large fraction of the matter in the Universe. There are excess events in the data of DAMA/LIBRA, CoGeNT, CRESST-II, an…
New Dark Matter Detectors using DNA or RNA for Nanometer Tracking
Andrzej Drukier, Katherine Freese, Alejandro Lopez +4
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) may constitute most of the matter in the Universe. The ability to detect the directionality of recoil nuclei will considerably facilita…
