A preliminary analysis is presented of low-energy ($\bar{E_\nu} \sim 4 GeV$) neutrino interactions observed by the MACRO detector. These include neutrino interactions in the detector, as well as upgoing neutrino-induced muons that stop in…
We present the results of a search for elastic scattering from galactic dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in the 4-30 GeV/$c^2$ mass range. We make use of a 582 kg-day fiducial exposure from an array of…
We propose to use the change of the energy lost by ionization, measured by silicon detectors, before and after the passage through a bulk of dense matter, for unambiguously detecting highly massive single-charged particles, which could be…
The effects induced by muons with very low energies are usually neglected. In fact, they could represent a source of radioactive background due to capture processes in different materials, which in most of cases produce radioactive…
