Stable massive particles at colliders

M Fairbairn, AC Kraan, DA Milstead, T Sjöstrand… - Physics Reports, 2007 - Elsevier
We review the theoretical motivations and experimental status of searches for stable
massive particles (SMPs) which could be sufficiently long-lived as to be directly detected at …

Silicon detector dark matter results from the final exposure of CDMS II

R Agnese, Z Ahmed, AJ Anderson, S Arrenberg… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
We report results of a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS) with the
silicon detectors of the CDMS II experiment. This blind analysis of 140.2 kg day of data taken …

Muon-induced background study for underground laboratories

DM Mei, A Hime - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2006 - APS
We provide a comprehensive study of the cosmic-ray muon flux and induced activity as a
function of overburden along with a convenient parametrization of the salient fluxes and …

Simplified dark matter models for the galactic center gamma-ray excess

A Berlin, D Hooper, SD McDermott - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
Motivated by the gamma-ray excess observed from the region surrounding the Galactic
Center, we explore particle dark matter models that could potentially account for the …

Detecting dark matter annihilation with CMB polarization: Signatures<? format?> and experimental prospects

N Padmanabhan, DP Finkbeiner - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2005 - APS
Dark matter (DM) annihilation during hydrogen recombination (z∼ 1000) will alter the
recombination history of the Universe, and affect the observed CMB temperature and …

Dark-matter electric and magnetic dipole moments

K Sigurdson, M Doran, A Kurylov, RR Caldwell… - Physical Review D …, 2004 - APS
We consider the consequences of a neutral dark-matter particle with a nonzero electric

WIMP annihilation and cooling of neutron stars

C Kouvaris - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2008 - APS
We study the effect of WIMP annihilation on the temperature of a neutron star. We shall
argue that the released energy due to WIMP annihilation inside the neutron stars might …
