1 Shedding Light on Dark Matter from Deep Underground with XENON Kaixuan Ni (Columbia) University of Maryland,
2 A well-known mystery for astronomers Fritz Zwicky, The Astrophysical Journal, 85 (1937) All curves show a fairly rapid velocity rise to V ~ 125 km s -1 at R ~ 5 kpc, and a slower rise thereafter. Most rotation curves are rising slowly even at the farthest measured point. Neither high nor low luminosity Sc galaxies have falling rotation curves. Sc galaxies of all luminosities must have significant mass located beyond the optical image.... 2
3 Modern Precision Cosmology 3
4 Dark Matter is a stable, neutral, and heavy particle that interacts very weakly, or only through gravity. Leading DM candidates, such as neutralinos and axions, are from theories beyond the Standard Model!
5 Three ways to probe the nature of dark matter Indirectly search for DM annihilation products (gamma rays, neutrinos, electrons, positrons, etc.) Produce dark matter in the Collider Directly detect DM interacting with a terrestrial target 5
6 A fruitful year for indirect DM searches Observation of an anomalous positron abundance in the cosmic radiation [arxiv: ] PAMELA 6
7 A fruitful year for indirect DM searches An excess of cosmic electrons. ATIC DM local density 0.43 GeV/cm 3 Kaluza-Klein mass 620 GeV Annihilation rate cm 3 /s J Chang et al. Nature 456, (2008) doi: /nature

28 The Merits of Noble Liquids for Dark Matter Detection scalability : relatively cheap and easy cryogenics at 170 K (LXe), 87 K (LAr) bkg reduction: via self-shielding low threshold : high scintillation yield gamma rejection: electron and nuclear recoil discrimination 175nm Ionisation Electron/nuclear recoil wavelength depends on gas e.g. Xe 175nm Ar 128nm Excitation Triplet 27ns Xe * Xe 2 * +Xe Singlet 3ns Xe 2 + Xe ** + Xe 175nm Recombination depends on type of recoils (stronger for nuclear recoils) Xe + +Xe +e - (recombination) Nigel Smith, RAL 2Xe 2Xe time constants depend on gas e.g. Xe 3/27ns Ar 10/1500ns 20
29 The Noble Liquid Revolution Noble liquids (LAr, LXe) are relatively inexpensive, easy to scale up Self-shielding reduce external background Excellent gamma background rejection (pulse-shape, or ionization/scintillation) XMASS 800-kg Single Phase (XMASS, CLEAN/DEAP) WARP Two Phase (XENON,LUX,ZEPLIN II/III,WARP,ArDM.) 21

35 Can XENON10 anomalous events be explained by idm? inelastic Dark Matter (idm) Spencer Chang, Graham D. Kribs, David Tucker-Smith, Neal Weiner [arxiv: ] No longer elastic scattering. If dark matter can only scatter off of a nucleus by transitioning to an excited state, the kinematics are changed dramatically δ 1 2 µβ2 c kev µ = M χm N M χ + M N 27 N. Weiner
36 must have enough kinetic energy to scatter visible to DAMA and XENON visible to f(v) CDMS and WARP modulation is also significantly enhanced N. Weiner
37 Spectrum is dramatically modified Standard WIMPs have a spectrum that peaks at low energies
