The Electronics and Data Acquisition System of the DarkSide Dark Matter Search

The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, T. Alexander +143

It is generally inferred from astronomical measurements that Dark Matter (DM) comprises approximately 27\% of the energy-density of the universe. If DM is a subatomic particle, a p…

White Paper for Blazar Observations with a GEMS-like X-ray Polarimetry Mission

Henric Krawczynski, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27

In this document, we describe the scientific potential of blazar observations with a X-ray polarimetry mission like GEMS (Gravity and Extreme Magnetism SMEX). We describe five blaz…

White Paper on GEMS Study of Polarized X-rays from Neutron Stars

Pranab Ghosh, Lorella Angelini, Matthew Baring +27

We examine the expected X-ray polarization properties of neutron-star X-ray sources of various types, e.g., accretion and rotation powered pulsars, magnetars, and low-mass X-ray bi…

The case for a directional dark matter detector and the status of current experimental efforts

S. Ahlen, N. Afshordi, J. B. R. Battat +109

We present the case for a dark matter detector with directional sensitivity. This document was developed at the 2009 CYGNUS workshop on directional dark matter detection, and conta…
