Reconstructing Dark Matter Mass and Discriminating Standard and Non-Standard WIMP-Nucleus Interactions with Paleo-Detectors
Dionysios P. Theodosopoulos, Katherine Freese, Chris Kelso +1
Paleo-detectors record and retain crystal damage in ancient minerals from nuclear recoils induced by dark matter scattering over geological timescales. Previous studies have shown…

Self-Gravitating Magnetic Monopoles and Dyons in String-Inspired Models: Structure and Stability
Nick E. Mavromatos, Sarben Sarkar, Dionysios P. Theodosopoulos
We present classical magnetic--monopole (MM) and dyon solutions induced by global monopoles in string-inspired gravitational models. Although several ingredients of the constructio…

Projected Sensitivity of Paleo-Detectors to Dark Matter Effective Interactions with Nuclei
Dionysios P. Theodosopoulos, Katherine Freese, Chris Kelso +1
Paleo-detectors are a proposed experimental technique for direct detection (DD) of dark matter (DM) via the read-out of DM-induced nuclear recoil tracks in natural minerals. The la…
