▪ 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 …

▪ Abstract The need for very good energy resolution in experiments in particle and
astroparticle physics and the need to detect very small energy depositions are the major …

TOPOLOGICAL defects in the geometry of space–time (such as cosmic strings) may have
played an important role in the evolution of the early Universe, by supplying initial density …

We report the observation of a Bose-Einstein condensation of ytterbium atoms by
evaporative cooling in a novel crossed optical trap. Unlike the previously observed …

Temporal periodic modulation of the interatomic s-wave scattering length in Bose-Einstein
condensates is shown to excite subharmonic patterns in the atom density through a …

In the limit when the two-body scattering length a is negative and much larger than the
effective two-body interaction radius the contribution to the ground state energy due to the …

We investigate the localized nonlinear matter waves of the quasi-two-dimensional Bose-
Einstein condensates with spatially modulated nonlinearity in the harmonic potential. It is …

We study the possible formation of large (mesoscopic) molecular ions in an ultracold
degenerate bosonic gas doped with charged particles (ions). We show that the polarization …

We report the formation of Bose-Einstein condensates into nonequilibrium states. Our
condensates are much longer than equilibrium condensates with the same number of …

The focus of dark matter searches to date has been on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles
(WIMPs) in the GeV/c 2-TeV/c 2 mass range. The direct, indirect and collider searches in this …
