We present the analysis of the muon events with all muon multiplicities collected during 21804 hours of operation of the first LVD tower. The measured depth-angular distribution of muon intensities has been used to obtain the normalization…
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) is a low pressure (75 Torr CF4) 10 liter detector capable of measuring the vector direction of nuclear recoils with the goal of directional dark matter detection. In this paper we present the…
This work investigates the allowed parameter spaces of a simplified dark matter (DM) model characterized by a spin-0 mediator with masses in the low to intermediate range ($ < $ 10 GeV). We systematically divide the parameter space into…
If dark matter (DM) has non-zero direct or transition, electric or magnetic dipole moment then it can scatter nucleons electromagnetically in direct detection experiments. Using the results from experiments like XENON, CDMS, DAMA and COGENT…
Radio observations of the Ursa Major II dwarf spheroidal galaxy obtained using the Green Bank Telescope are used to place bounds on WIMP dark matter properties. Dark matter annihilation releases energy in the form of charged particles which…
We estimate the expected distribution of displacements between the two dominant dark matter (DM) peaks (DM-DM displacements) and between DM and gaseous baryon peak (DM-gas displacements) in dark matter halos with masses larger than…
The purely gravitational evidence supporting the need for dark matter (DM) particles is compelling and based on Galactic to cosmological scale observations. Thus far, the promising weakly interacting massive particles scenarios have eluded…
The vertical sea-level muon spectrum at energies above 1 GeV and the underground/underwater muon intensities at depths up to 18 km w.e. are calculated. The results are particularly collated with a great body of the ground-level,…
We consider a dark matter model with a singlet scalar, $\chi$, as our dark matter (DM) candidate which is secluded from the Standard Model (SM) and annihilates to the singlet scalar, $\phi$, via a contact interaction. The singlet scalar,…
The muon anomalous magnetic moment exhibits a 3.6 \sigma discrepancy between experiment and theory. One explanation requires the existence of a light vector boson, Z_d (the dark Z), with mass 10 - 500 MeV that couples weakly to the…
We consider a fermionic dark matter (DM) particle in renormalizable Standard Model (SM) gauge interactions in a simple $t$-channel model. The DM particle interactions with SM fermions is through the exchange of scalar and vector mediators…
We investigate the possibility of a dark matter candidate emerging from a minimal walking technicolor theory. In this case techniquarks as well as technigluons transform under the adjoint representation of SU(2) of technicolor. It is…
Using the upper bound on the inelastic reaction cross-section implied by S-matrix unitarity, we derive the thermally averaged maximum dark matter (DM) annihilation rate for general $k \rightarrow 2$ number-changing reactions, with $k \geq…
We consider the capture of dark matter in the Sun by inelastic scattering against nuclei as in the inelastic dark matter scenario. We show that, assuming a WIMP-nucleon cross-section of \sigma_n = 10^{-40}\cm^2 the resulting capture rate…
Heavy stable fourth generation Majorana neutrinos contribute to a small fraction of the relic density of dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Due to its relatively strong coupling to the standard model particles, it can be probed by the…
We present the first observational limits on the predicted synchrotron signals from particle Dark Matter annihilation models in dwarf spheroidal galaxies at radio frequencies below 1 GHz. We use a combination of survey data from the…
Using a sample of 38.5 million underground muons collected by the MACRO detector we have performed an all-sky search for pointlike sources producing excesses of muons above the expected background. The d.c. muon flux upper limit at the…
The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon has been measured to 0.5 ppm in a series of precision experiments at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The individual results for each sign: a(mu+)= 11 659 204(7)(5) E-10 and a(mu-) =…
Warm Dark Matter (WDM) particles with masses ($\sim$ kilo electronvolt) offer an attractive solution to the small-scale issues faced by the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm. The delay of structure formation in WDM models and the associated…
We compute the capture rate for Dark Matter in the Sun for models where the dominant interaction with nuclei is inelastic -- the Dark Matter up-scatters to a nearby dark "partner" state with a small splitting of order a 100 keV. Such models…
