11. Searches for Dark Matter with IceCube and DeepCore : New constraints on theories predicting dark matter particles
Sammanfattning : The cubic-kilometer sized IceCube neutrino observatory, constructed in the glacial ice at the South Pole, searches indirectly for dark matter via neutrinos from dark matter self-annihilations. It has a high discovery potential through striking signatures. LÄS MER
12. Towards detecting lines from dark matter annihilations with GLAST
Sammanfattning : Dark matter (DM) constitutes one of the most intriguing but so far unresolved issues in physics. In many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, the existence of a stable Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) is predicted. LÄS MER
13. Dark Matter, Ancient Rocks, a Band of Higgs Bosons, and a Big Collider : or, Models of New Physics and Some Ways to Probe Them
Sammanfattning : The past ~ 50 years have seen a remarkable success of particle physics. In the 1970s, the Standard Model was formulated and in 2012 its final ingredient, the Higgs boson, was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Standard Model describes virtually all particle physics observable in the laboratory. LÄS MER
14. Towards application of explicit likelihoods in inference for Dark Matter Direct Detection
Sammanfattning : Despite the many empirical hints for the existence of Dark Matter in the Universe, Dark Matter has yet to be observed experimentally, be it directly through its scatterings in detectors, indirectly through its annihilation in the galaxy, or implicitly through its production and decay in particle colliders. Even though observations from astrophysics and cosmology placed constraints on the Dark Matter energy density and self-interaction cross section and with Standard Model particles, much about the nature of Dark Matter is still unknown, leaving much to the creativity of model builders.

15. Phenomenology of Inert Scalar and Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Sammanfattning : While the dark matter has so far only revealed itself through the gravitational influence it exerts on its surroundings, there are good reasons to believe it is made up by WIMPs – a hypothetical class of heavy elementary particles not encompassed by the Standard Model of particle physics. The Inert Doublet Model constitutes a simple extension of the Standard Model Higgs sector. LÄS MER
