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…
