First constraint on the weak mixing angle using direct detection experiments
Tarak Nath Maity, Celine Boehm
Current ton-scale dark matter direct detection experiments have reached an important milestone with the detection of solar neutrinos. In this paper, we show that these data can be…
Scalar Dark Matter Candidates -- Revisited
Céline Bœhm, Xiaoyong Chu, Jui-Lin Kuo +1
We revisit the possibility of light scalar dark matter, in the MeV to GeV mass bracket and coupled to electrons through fermion or vector mediators, in light of significant experim…
Light new physics in XENON1T
Celine Boehm, David G. Cerdeno, Malcolm Fairbairn +2
We examine the recently-reported low-energy electron recoil spectrum observed at the XENON1T underground dark matter direct detection experiment, in the context of new interactions…
Dark matter-neutrino interactions through the lens of their cosmological implications
Andres Olivares-Del Campo, Celine Boehm, Sergio Palomares-Ruiz +1
Dark matter and neutrinos provide the two most compelling pieces of evidence for new physics beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics but they are often treated as two differe…
Circular polarisation: a new probe of dark matter and neutrinos in the sky
Celine Boehm, Celine Degrande, Olivier Mattelaer +1
The study of anomalous electromagnetic emission in the sky is the basis of indirect searches for dark matter. It is also a powerful tool to constrain the radiative decay of active…
Physics from solar neutrinos in dark matter direct detection experiments
David G. Cerdeno, Malcolm Fairbairn, Thomas Jubb +3
The next generation of dark matter direct detection experiments will be sensitive to both coherent neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-electron scattering. This will enable them to explo…
Radiative Model of Neutrino Mass with Neutrino Interacting MeV Dark Matter
Abdesslam Arhrib, Céline Bœhm, Ernest Ma +1
We consider the radiative generation of neutrino mass through the interactions of neutrinos with MeV dark matter. We construct a realistic renormalizable model with one scalar doub…
Shocking Signals of Dark Matter Annihilation
Jonathan H. Davis, Joseph Silk, Celine Boehm +2
We examine whether charged particles injected by self-annihilating Dark Matter into regions undergoing Diffuse Shock Acceleration (DSA) can be accelerated to high energies. We cons…
Quantifying the evidence for Dark Matter in CoGeNT data
Jonathan H. Davis, Christopher McCabe, Celine Boehm
We perform an independent analysis of data from the CoGeNT direct detection experiment to quantify the evidence for dark matter recoils. We critically re-examine the assumptions th…
Extended gamma-ray emission from Coy Dark Matter
Celine Boehm, Matthew J. Dolan, Christopher McCabe +2
We show that it is possible for WIMP dark matter to produce a large signal in indirect dark matter searches without producing signals elsewhere. We illustrate our point by fitting…
Naturalness of Light Neutralino Dark Matter in pMSSM after LHC, XENON100 and Planck Data
Celine Boehm, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Anupam Mazumdar +1
We examine the possibility of a light (below 46 GeV) neutralino dark matter (DM) candidate within the 19-parameter phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (pMSSM) in…
A New Method for Analysing Dark Matter Direct Detection Data
Jonathan H. Davis, Torsten Ensslin, Celine Boehm
The experimental situation of Dark Matter Direct Detection has reached an exciting cross-roads, with potential hints of a discovery of Dark Matter (DM) from the CDMS, CoGeNT, CRESS…
Light neutralino dark matter in the MSSM and its implication for LHC searches for staus
Genevieve Belanger, Sanjoy Biswas, Celine Boehm +1
It was shown in a previous study that a lightest neutralino with mass below 30 GeV was severely constrained in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), unless it annihilat…
Probing the Supersymmetric Inflaton and Dark Matter link via the CMB, LHC and XENON1T experiments
Celine Boehm, Jonathan Da Silva, Anupam Mazumdar +1
The primordial inflation dilutes all matter except the quantum fluctuations which we see in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Therefore the last phases of inflation…
Les Houches 2011: Physics at TeV Colliders New Physics Working Group Report
G. Brooijmans, B. Gripaios, F. Moortgat +141
We present the activities of the "New Physics" working group for the "Physics at TeV Colliders" workshop (Les Houches, France, 30 May-17 June, 2011). Our report includes new agreem…
The XENON100 exclusion limit without considering Leff as a nuisance parameter
Jonathan H Davis, Celine Boehm, Niels Oppermann +2
In 2011, the XENON100 experiment has set unprecedented constraints on dark matter-nucleon interactions, excluding dark matter candidates with masses down to 6 GeV if the correspond…
Revisiting light neutralino scenarios in the MSSM
Daniel Albornoz Vasquez, Genevieve Belanger, Celine Boehm
We revisit the case of a light neutralino LSP in the framework of the MSSM. We consider a model with eleven free parameters. We show that all scenarios where the annihilation of li…
Implication of the PAMELA antiproton data for dark matter indirect detection at LHC
Celine Boehm, Timur Delahaye, Pierre Salati +2
Since the PAMELA results on the "anomalously" high positron fraction and the lack of antiproton excess in our Galaxy, there has been a tremendous number of studies advocating new t…
Light and Heavy Dark Matter Particles
C. Boehm, P. Fayet, J. Silk
It has recently been pointed out that the 511 keV emission line detected by Integral/SPI from the bulge of our galaxy could be explained by annihilations of light Dark Matter parti…
