Superfluid He-4 as Dark Matter Detectors
Zizhou Huang, Mihaela Parvu, Dmitry Budker +2
Superfluid helium-4 is an attractive medium for high-sensitivity detection of dark matter (DM) candidates (as well as other particles). There are several collaborations that have b…
A New Way to Detect Axions from Captured in the Earth
Ionel Lazanu, Konstantin Zioutas
Macroscopic dark matter with dominating strong interactions, supposed to be composites, represents an alternative to the most popular WIMP particles. Predicted in various models as…
The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
Ariel Arza, Deniz Aybas, Shyam Balaji +124
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particula…
Dark matter signatures in cosmic rays
M. Maroudas, A. Argiriou, G. Cantatore +11
This study analyzes an 11-year cosmic ray dataset of positrons and antiprotons for planetary dependencies related to gravitationally focused dark matter streams. By projecting even…
Search for solar axions produced through the axion-electron coupling using a new GridPix detector at CAST
K. Altenmüller, V. Anastassopoulos, S. Arguedas-Cuendis +61
We present a search for solar axions produced through the axion-electron coupling using data from a novel 7-GridPix detector installed at the CERN Axion Solar Telescope…
Search for anti-quark nuggets via their interaction with the LHC beam
K. Zioutas, A. Zhitnitsky, C. Zamantzas +11
Anti-quark nuggets (AQNs) have been suggested to solve the dark matter (DM) and the missing antimatter problem in the universe and have been proposed as an explanation of various o…
