2. Light Dark Matter Searches with Carbon Nanotubes

Antonio Polosa (Sapienza Universita` di Roma)

Directional detection of Dark Matter particles in the MeV mass range could be accomplished by studying electron recoils in large arrays of parallel carbon nanotubes. In a scattering process with a lattice electron, a DM particle might transfer sufficient energy to eject it from the nanotube surface. An external electric field is added to drive the electron towards the open ends of the array,...

4. A new experiment for axion-like particle search

Paolo Spagnolo (INFN Sezione di Pisa, Universita' e Scuola Normale Superiore, P)

In Particle Physics, axions appear in very well motivated extensions of the Standard Model including the Peccei-Quinn mechanism proposed to solve the long-standing strong-CP problem. Together with the weakly interacting massive particles of supersymmetric theories, axions are also a favored candidate for resolving the Dark Matter issue.
I propose a new detection scheme for the search of...

41. Measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence with static high-field superconducting magnets

Guido Zavattini (Università di Ferrara)

For many years the PVLAS collaboration has been working on trying to measure vacuum magnetic birefringence using optical techniques. That electrodynamics in vacuum is non-linear was predicted in 1935 [H. Euler and B. Kockel, Naturwiss, 23, 246 (1935)] and the first experimental proposal to detect the leading nonlinear effect, namely vacuum magnetic birefringence closely related to...

36. Precision measurements in nuclear beta decay in the LHC era

Martin Gonzalez-Alonso (CERN)

I will discuss what kind of new phenomena can be probed through precision measurements in nuclear and neutron beta decays. Several of these experiments were carried out (or are planned/ongoing) at ISOLDE at CERN, a world-leading facility In the field of nuclear physics. Using a model-independent description I will review the interplay between the different experiments and which ones are the...
