There is no theoretical reason to think that the spin-flip component of the Pomeron is zero. One can measure the spin-flip part using Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI). Perturbative QCD calculations show that the spin-flip component is…

Assuming a dark matter fraction $\Omega_{DM} = 0.27$ and a reduced Hubble constant $h = 0.73$, we obtain a value of 70 GeV/c$^2$ for the mass of the dark matter WIMP we have previously proposed. We also obtain a value for the annihilation…
