Results and strategies in dark matter detection

Abstract

The dark matter (DM) parallel session DM2 of the 14th Marcel Grossmann Meeting was enriched by several contributions about the results and the strategies in the study and in the detection of DM particles in the Galactic halo. In the following, an overview of the latest results in this field will be summarized. A particular care will be given to the results obtained by exploiting the model independent DM annual modulation signature for the presence of DM particles in the galactic halo. Results from the other experiments using different procedures, different techniques and different target materials will be shortly addressed as well as implications and experimental perspectives.

A survey of dark matter and related topics in cosmology

“…146) Being gauge invariant, this Newtonian relation between R q and ζ q also holds in 146) As can be seen from Table 9.1 which lists the equation of state of possible components of the very early universe. Since the early universe is dominated by radiation, not by dark matter or dark energy,P =ρ/3, then 12πG N (ρ +P) = 6H 2 .…”

“…The data accumulation prior to 2013 is 1.17 ton-year data over 13 annual cycles [145] and shows The DAMA/LIBRA and DAMA/NaI annual modulation data and analysis. The plots are adopted from [145] and [146], which together with other presentations made on DAMA can be found in Downloads of the collaboration homepage [147].…”

“…The most recent data accumulation of 1.33 ton-yrs has been reported in [146] which can be found on DAMA's download page [147], as shown in the lower panel of Fig. 8.1, where the result of the date analysis is also given.…”
