  1. 58. The DarkSide Experiment - Physics of Direct Dark Matter Detection
    Ms Erin Edkins (University of Hawaii at Manoa)

    Dark Matter
    oral
    There is now strong astrophysical evidence that the majority of the mass in the universe is comprised of an as yet unidentified form of non-baryonic matter. This matter does not interact via the electromagnetic force nor the strong force and is non-relativistic. Predicted by supersymmetric models and possessing all of the required properties, WIMPS (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) form...

  2. 53. Calibrations for the DarkSide Experiment

    DarkSide is a three phase direct dark matter detection experiment. The first phase (DS-10) was a 10kg prototype located first at Princeton University and then moved to Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS). The second phase (DS-50) is a 50kg detector to have a three year run at LNGS. The results of DS-50 will help prepare us for the eventual multi-ton G2 experiment. DarkSide aims to use novel...

  3. 20. The DarkSide Experiment
    Mr Augusto Mario Goretti (Princeton University)

    Dark Matter
    oral
    There is a wide range of astronomical evidence that the visible stars and gas in all galaxies, including our own, are immersed in a much larger cloud of non-luminous matter, typically an order of magnitude greater in total mass. The existence of this “dark matter” is consistent with evidence from large-scale galaxy surveys and microwave background measurements, indicating that the majority of...

  4. 47. Recent Progress on D3 - The Directional Dark Matter Detector

    Dark Matter
    oral
    Direction-sensitive WIMP dark matter detection promises to help overcome the challenges faced by direct dark matter detection experiments. In particular, directional detectors should be able to clearly differentiate a dark matter signal from background sources. We are developing a Directional Dark Matter Detector (D3) based on a gas Time Projection Chamber (TPC) using Gas Electron Multipliers...
