Shayne Reichard (Purdue University)Direct dark matter detection focuses on elastic scattering of dark matter particles off nuclei. In this poster, we investigate inelastic scattering in which the target nucleus is excited to a low-lying state of ~10-100 keV, with a subsequent prompt de-excitation. We calculate the inelastic structure factors of the odd-mass xenon isotopes based on state-of-the-art large-scale shell-model...Go to contribution page

Bithika Jain (Syracuse University)Cai, Cheng, and Terning (CCT) suggested a model in which the left-handed top quark is identified with a gaugino of an extended gauge group, and its superpartner is a spin-1 particle. We perform a phenomenological analysis of this model, with a focus on the spin-1 top partner, which we dub the **swan**. We find that precision electroweak fits, together with direct searches for $Z^\prime$ bosons...Go to contribution page

Vedran Brdar (JGU Mainz)Aug/18We consider the production of keV sterile neutrinos in the cooling phase of the Supernova. A matter enhanced conversion from active to sterile neutrino is analyzed, leading to a strong bound on the sterile neutrino $\sin^2 2\theta -m_{\text{sterile}}$ parameter space from Supernova energy loss. In addition, we analyzed the impact of the standard production mechanism via interactions which is...Go to contribution page

Ms Cassie Reuter (Purdue University)Despite over a decade of exploring everything from detector systematics to exotic dark matter models, there has yet to be a satisfactory explanation of the DAMA results. Construction is currently underway for an experiment that will be able to determine whether an environmental or operational parameter could be responsible for DAMA's signal. This experiment features a total of 32 three-inch...Go to contribution page

Mr Wenqiang GU (SJTU)Aug/18The Daya Bay experiment has made the most precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle theta13 and the first independent measurement of the effective mass splitting in the electron antineutrino disappearance channel utilizing measured reactor anti-neutrino rate and spectral shape. A thorough understanding of backgrounds is crucial for the measurement. Among all the backgrounds at Daya...Go to contribution page

Alden Fan (U)DarkSide-50 is the first physics detector of the DarkSide dark matter search program. The detector features a dual phase underground argon Time Projection Chamber (TPC) of 50 kg active mass surrounded by an organic liquid scintillator neutron veto and a water-Cherenkov muon detector. The TPC is currently fully shielded and operating underground at Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) using...Go to contribution page

Henoch Wong (UC Berkeley)Aug/12The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment has observed the disappearance of $\bar{\nu}_{e}$ from nuclear reactors at $\sim$kilometer baselines. Utilizing powerful nuclear reactors as antineutrino sources and tall mountains that provide ample shielding against cosmic-rays, we have performed a relative comparison of the $\bar{\nu}_{e}$ rate and spectrum with an array of eight identically-designed...Go to contribution page

Aritra Gupta (HARISH-CHANDRA RESEARCH INSTITUTE)We study the possibility of detecting dark matter directly via a small but energetic component that is allowed within present-day constraints. Drawing closely upon the fact that neutral current neutrino nucleon interactions are indistinguishable from DMnucleon interactions at low energies, we extend this feature to high energies for a small, non-thermal but highly energetic population of...Go to contribution page

Benjamin Shanks (UNC - Chapel Hill)Aug/12Neutrinoless double-beta decay is the only experimentally viable process which can distinguish whether the neutrino is Majorana or Dirac in nature. Observation of this rare decay would prove that the neutrino mass is generated, at least in part, by Majorana mass terms. This implies that the neutrino is its own antiparticle, and that lepton number is not a conserved quantity. The MAJORANA...Go to contribution page

Geertje HeuermannFuture large scale cryogenic dark matter experiments – such as EURECA or SuperCDMS - will focus on the exploration of low mass WIMPS reaching for unparalleled sensitivities for the cross section of spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interactions. This requires an unprecedented suppression of the background in the nuclear recoil band down to 1 event/ton/year in the region of interest. External and...Go to contribution page

Constanze HasterokThe XENON Experiment aims to detect dark matter particles by WIMPs scattering off a nucleus. It operates a dual phase time projection chamber with liquid xenon as detection material. XENON100 was the most sensitive experiment to spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interaction for WIMP masses above 8 GeV/c² from 2010 to 2012. XENON1T is the future experiment whose aim is an increased sensitivity by...Go to contribution page
