Estimating the local dark matter density in a non-axisymmetric wobbling disc

S. Sivertsson, J. I. Read, H. Silverwood +6

The density of dark matter near the Sun is important for experiments hunting for dark matter particles in the laboratory, and for constraining the local shape of the Milky Way's da…

Direct Acceleration: Cosmic and Exoplanet Synergies

David Erskine, Alex Kim, Eric Linder +10

Direct measurement of acceleration is a key scientific goal for both cosmology and exoplanets. For cosmology, the concept of redshift drift (more than 60 years old by the 2020s) co…

Stellar Accelerations and the Galactic Gravitational Field

Hamish Silverwood, Richard Easther

Typical stars in the Milky Way galaxy have velocities of hundreds of kilometres per second and experience gravitational accelerations of m s, resulting in ve…

The Local Dark Matter Density from SDSS-SEGUE G-dwarfs

Sofia Sivertsson, Hamish Silverwood, Justin I. Read +2

We derive the local dark matter density by applying the integrated Jeans equation method from Silverwood et al. (2016) to SDSS-SEGUE G-dwarf data processed and presented by Büdenbe…

The -LAT gamma-ray excess at the Galactic Center in the singlet-doublet fermion dark matter model

Shunsaku Horiuchi, Oscar Macias, Diego Restrepo +3

The singlet-doublet fermion dark matter model (SDFDM) provides a good DM candidate as well as the possibility of generating neutrino masses radiatively. The search and identificati…

Improved limits on dark matter annihilation in the Sun with the 79-string IceCube detector and implications for supersymmetry

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, K. Abraham +315

We present an improved event-level likelihood formalism for including neutrino telescope data in global fits to new physics. We derive limits on spin-dependent dark matter-proton s…

A non-parametric method for measuring the local dark matter density

Hamish Silverwood, Sofia Sivertsson, Pascal Steger +2

We present a new method for determining the local dark matter density using kinematic data for a population of tracer stars. The Jeans equation in the -direction is integrated t…

Complementarity of direct and indirect Dark Matter detection experiments

Chiara Arina, Gianfranco Bertone, Hamish Silverwood

We investigate the prospects for reconstructing the mass, spin-independent and spin-dependent cross-sections of Dark Matter particles with a combination of future direct detection…

Sensitivity of IceCube-DeepCore to neutralino dark matter in the MSSM-25

Hamish Silverwood, Pat Scott, Matthias Danninger +5

We analyse the sensitivity of IceCube-DeepCore to annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the solar core, generated within a 25 parameter version of the minimally supersymmetric…

Design, Implementation and First Measurements with the Medipix Neutron Camera in CMS

Dorothea Pfeiffer, Austin Ball, Alan Bell +13

The Medipix detector is the first device dedicated to measuring mixed-field radiation in the CMS cavern and able to distinguish between different particle types. Medipix2-MXR chips…
