Appendiciario -- A hands-on manual on the theory of direct Dark Matter detection
Eugenio Del Nobile
A manual for computations in direct Dark Matter detection phenomenology. Featuring self-contained sections on non-relativistic expansion, elastic and inelastic scattering kinematic…
Prospects for detection of target-dependent annual modulation in direct dark matter searches
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Samuel J. Witte
Earth's rotation about the Sun produces an annual modulation in the expected scattering rate at direct dark matter detection experiments. The annual modulation as a function of the…
Millicharge or Decay: A Critical Take on Minimal Dark Matter
Eugenio Del Nobile, Marco Nardecchia, Paolo Panci
Minimal Dark Matter (MDM) is a theoretical framework highly appreciated for its minimality and yet its predictivity. Of the two only viable candidates singled out in the original a…
Gravitational Focusing and Substructure Effects on the Rate Modulation in Direct Dark Matter Searches
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Samuel J. Witte
We study how gravitational focusing (GF) of dark matter by the Sun affects the annual and biannual modulation of the expected signal in non-directional direct dark matter searches,…
Reevaluation of spin-dependent WIMP-proton interactions as an explanation of the DAMA data
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Andreea Georgescu +1
We reexamine the interpretation of the annual modulation signal observed by the DAMA experiment as due to WIMPs with a spin-dependent coupling mostly to protons. We consider both a…
Not so Coy Dark Matter explains DAMA (and the Galactic Center excess)
Chiara Arina, Eugenio Del Nobile, Paolo Panci
We study a Dirac Dark Matter particle interacting with ordinary matter via the exchange of a light pseudo-scalar, and analyze its impact on both direct and indirect detection exper…
Update on the Halo-Independent Comparison of Direct Dark Matter Detection Data
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +1
We briefly review the halo-independent formalism, that allows to compare data from different direct dark matter detection experiments without making assumptions on the properties o…
Halo-independent comparison of direct dark matter detection data: a review
Eugenio Del Nobile
We review the halo-independent formalism, that allows to compare data from different direct dark matter detection experiments without making assumptions on the properties of the da…
Direct detection of Light Anapole and Magnetic Dipole DM
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +1
We present comparisons of direct detection data for "light WIMPs" with an anapole moment interaction (ADM) and a magnetic dipole moment interaction (MDM), both assuming the Standar…
Update on Light WIMP Limits: LUX, lite and Light
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +1
We reexamine the current direct dark matter data including the recent CDMSlite and LUX data, assuming that the dark matter consists of light WIMPs, with mass close to 10 GeV/…
Tools for model-independent bounds in direct dark matter searches
Eugenio Del Nobile, Marco Cirelli, Paolo Panci
We discuss a framework (based on non-relativistic operators) and a self-contained set of numerical tools to derive the bounds from some current direct detection experiments on virt…
Generalized Halo Independent Comparison of Direct Dark Matter Detection Data
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +1
We extend the halo-independent method to compare direct dark matter detection data, so far used only for spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interactions, to any type of interaction. As…
Halo-independent analysis of direct detection data for light WIMPs
Eugenio Del Nobile, Graciela B. Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo +1
We present a halo-independent analysis of direct detection data on "light WIMPs," i.e. weakly interacting massive particles with mass close to or below 10 GeV/c^2. We include new r…
Light Magnetic Dark Matter in Direct Detection Searches
Eugenio Del Nobile, Chris Kouvaris, Paolo Panci +2
We study a fermionic Dark Matter particle carrying magnetic dipole moment and analyze its impact on direct detection experiments. In particular we show that it can accommodate the…
Halo independent comparison of direct dark matter detection data
Paolo Gondolo, Graciela B. Gelmini
We extend the halo-independent method of Fox, Liu, and Weiner to include energy resolution and efficiency with arbitrary energy dependence, making it more suitable for experiments…
Dark Matter Interference
Eugenio Del Nobile, Chris Kouvaris, Francesco Sannino +1
We study different patterns of interference in WIMP-nuclei elastic scattering that can accommodate the DAMA and CoGeNT experiments via an isospin violating ratio . W…
Dark Matter Effective Theory
Eugenio Del Nobile, Francesco Sannino
We organize the effective (self)interaction terms for complex scalar dark matter candidates which are either an isosinglet, isodoublet or an isotriplet with respect to the weak int…
Minimal Matter at the Large Hadron Collider
Eugenio Del Nobile, Roberto Franceschini, Duccio Pappadopulo +1
We classify all possible new U(1) x SU(2) x SU(3) multiplets that can couple to pairs of SM particles. Assuming that production of such new particles is dominated by their gauge in…
