There is almost universal agreement among astronomers that most of the mass in the
Universe and most of the mass in the Galactic halo is dark. Many lines of reasoning suggest …

After an introduction recalling the theoretical motivation for low energy (100GeV to TeV
scale) supersymmetry, this review describes the theory and experimental implications of the …

The SuperCDMS experiment is designed to directly detect weakly interacting massive
particles (WIMPs) that may constitute the dark matter in our Galaxy. During its operation at …

We present a new module of the micrOMEGAs package for the calculation of WIMP–nuclei
elastic scattering cross sections relevant for the direct detection of dark matter through its …

We report results from a reanalysis of data from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II)
experiment at the Soudan Underground Laboratory. Data taken between October 2006 and …

We perform state-of-the-art large-scale shell-model calculations of the structure factors for
elastic spin-dependent WIMP scattering off Xe 129, 131, I 127, Ge 73, F 19, Na 23, Al 27 …

Dark matter direct detection experiments mostly operate at deep underground laboratories. It
is necessary to consider shielding effect of the Earth, especially for dark matter particles …

We calculate expected event rates for direct detection of relic neutralinos as a function of
parameter space of the minimal supergravity model. Numerical results are presented for the …

Recently a new dark-matter candidate has been proposed as a consequence of universal
compact extra dimensions. It was found that to account for cosmological observations, the …

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS-II) employs low-temperature Ge and Si detectors
to seek weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their elastic-scattering interactions …
