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…
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…
Can a Breakdown of Hawking Evaporation Open a New Mass Window for Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter?
Gabriele Montefalcone, Dan Hooper, Katherine Freese +3
Semi-classical Hawking evaporation is expected to break down at some point in a black hole's evolution as the effects of quantum gravity become important. In particular, it has bee…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2024. Proceedings
Sebastian Baum, Patrick Huber, Patrick Stengel +57
The second "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM'24) meeting was held January 8-11, 2024 in Arlington, VA, USA, hosted by Virginia Tech's Center for Neutrino Phys…
Dark Matter implications of DAMA/LIBRA-phase2 results
Sebastian Baum, Katherine Freese, Chris Kelso
Recently, the DAMA/LIBRA collaboration released updated results from their search for the annual modulation signal from Dark Matter (DM) scattering in the detector. Besides approxi…
Lowering the Threshold in the DAMA Dark Matter Search
Chris Kelso, Pearl Sandick, Christopher Savage
The DAMA experiment searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter via its expected but rare interactions within the detector, where the interaction rates will…
