▪ Abstract This article reviews the astrophysics and cosmological evidence for nonbaryonic
dark matter (DM). It covers historical, current, and future experiments that look for direct …

The existence of dark matter was suggested, using simple gravitational arguments, seventy
years ago. Although we are now convinced that most of the mass in the Universe is indeed …

CoGeNT employs p-type point-contact (PPC) germanium detectors to search for weakly
interacting massive particles (WIMPs). By virtue of its low-energy threshold and ability to …

CUORE is a proposed tightly packed array of 1000 TeO2 bolometers, each being a cube 5
cm on a side with a mass of 760 g. The array consists of 25 vertical towers, arranged in a …

We show that, in the context of brane-world scenarios with low tension τ= f 4, massive brane
fluctuations (branons) are natural dark matter candidates. We calculate the present …

The EDELWEISS experiment has improved its sensitivity for the direct search for WIMP dark
matter. In the recoil energy range relevant for WIMP masses below 10 TeV/c2, no nuclear …

Abstract The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs low-temperature Ge and Si
detectors to search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) via their elastic …

A claim for evidence of dark matter interactions in the DAMA experiment has been recently
reinforced. We employ a new type of germanium detector to conclusively rule out a standard …

In this paper, new upper limits on the parameters of the Continuous Spontaneous
Localization (CSL) collapse model are extracted. To this end, the X-ray emission data …

Sort-last parallel rendering is an efficient technique to visualize huge datasets on COTS
clusters. The dataset is subdivided and distributed across the cluster nodes. For every frame …
