  1. 198. A Dark Matter Tool on the Web

    Evidences for Dark Matter existence have been increasingly compeling. Current and future direct and indirect searches and results from LHC will provide a wealth of new constraints on the nature of Dark Matter. A web page initiated by the ILIAS network has been set-up to provide the community with a developping tool to evaluate the sensitivities and complementarities of different...

    Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are one of the leading candidates for Dark Matter. Currently, the most promising method to detect many different WIMP candidates is the direct detection of the recoil energy deposited in a low- background laboratory detector due to elastic WIMP-nucleus scattering. So far the usual procedure has been to predict the event rate of direct...

    The Edelweiss programme is dedicated to the direct search for Dark Matter as massive weakly interacting particles (WIMPs) with Germanium cryogenic detectors operated in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane in the French Alps at a depth of 4800 mwe. After the initial phase Edelweiss I, which involved a total mass of 1 kg, the second step of the programme, Edelweiss II, currently involves 9...

    Parallel Talk
    The XENON10 experiment is a search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for the dark matter content of the Universe. The XENON10 detector uses the simultaneous measurement of ionization and scintillation in liquid xenon to distinguish between nuclear recoils and background electronic interactions. Ionization electrons are extracted into the xenon vapor...

    LUX is a new collaboration which has proposed a 100 Kg (fiducial) Liquid Xenon two-phase TPC detector for WIMP search. I will describe the detector, present simulations and comment on the sensitivity that can be achieved. Critical pieces of the detector are under construction and we will have an engineering run (above ground) in the Fall of 2007. The full detector, expected to be the...

    Parallel Talk
    Despite the results of neutrino oscillation experiments providing compelling evidence for non-zero neutrino masses, the absolute mass scale still remains undetermined. This question, which has a strong impact on both particle physics and cosmology, can be addressed in several, complementary ways, either via astrophysical observations or by laboratory experiments. The direct...
