1 Direct Search for Dark Matter Dark Matter Search Dark Matter in the Universe physics beyond the standard model how to detect Dark Matter particles Josef Jochum Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen Kepler Center for Astro and Particle Physics

2 Dark Matter Search Standardmodel of Cosmology Dark Energy W vac = 73 % Dark Matter W mat = 23 % normal Matter W bar = 4% Standardmodel of Particle Physics expected from Standardmodel possible explanations beyond the Standardmodel 0 or or % % 0 % may be 4 % 0 % or % Physics beyond the Standardmodel at least one of the standards has to be changed (most likely both) (direct ) Dark Matter search is testing both exciting times

3 many astrophysical observations point to Dark Matter? Dark Matter Search orbital motion around Galaxies or motion of galaxies in galaxy clusters too fast gravity potential and distribution of visible matter do not coincide light deflection shows higher gravity potentials than expected from visible matter

4 Anisotropy of Comsic Microwave Background Dark Matter Search 2009 p + e - H + g 2001 Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe

5 p + e - Cosmic Microwave Background CMB Dark Matter Search H Universe not transparent Universe transparent Foto: Franko Fürstenhoff

6 CMB measurement perfect black body T = 2.73K Dark Matter Search tiny anisotropy ~ dt / T ~ 10-5 shows density variation at (re)-combination p + e - H + g CMB: t = years z = 1100 ; T ~ 3000K; kt ~ 0,3 ev Universe was 1100 times smaller scale factor: R = 1 today, R = 1 / 1100 at (re)-combination

7 Dark Matter Search Power Spectrum compression and decompression peaks shows the oscillation modes which are at maximum compression or maximum expansion at the time of (re)combination

8 did this anisotropy grow to todays structure? Dark Matter Search

9 Structure Formation in the Universe density r; pressure p, speed v, gravity potential F Dark Matter Search continuity eq. for small disturbance Euler eq. wave eq with gravity Poisson eq. - densitiy only oscillates - no structure growth as long as pressure term is large >

10 Structure Formation in the Universe density r; pressure p, speed v, gravity potential F Dark Matter Search wave eq with gravity pressure term pressure comes from kinetic energy relativistic particles radiation non-relativistic particles pressure 0 no pressure no structure growth - before (re)-combination p + e - => H + g (cosmic microwave background) - as long as particles are relativistic kt > mc 2

11 Structure Formation in the Universe Dark Matter Search no structure growth - before (re)-combination p + e - => H + g (comsic microwave background) - as long as particles are relativistic kt > mc 2 d (re) combination, CMB t pressure vanishes

12 Structure Formation in the Universe Dark Matter Search R: scalefactor if defined =1 today, was 1/1000 at (re)combination) once density contrast d grows, it grows like the scale factor d ~ R ~ 1/T d x 1000 since (re)combination today 2,7K recomb ~ 3000 K

13 observed anisotropy of 10-5 by far too small Dark Matter Search 10-5 x was there a 100 x larger anisotropy we cannot see in the CMB? if yes, then made out of particles without electromagnetic interaction otherewise we would see it in CMB Dark Matter

14 Structure Formation in the Universe Dark Matter Search d (re) combination, CMB t the only non electromagnetic particles in the standard model are Neutrinos BUT: Neutrinos still relativistic at (re)combination ( kt ~ 0,3 ev ) cannot form structure => dark matter is made out of beyond SM particles

15 Dark Matter Search compression peaks stronger expansion peaks weaker charged particles (p, e - ) oscillate in a background non-oscillating gravity field => neutral particles, which started structure formation much earlier => physics beyond standard model of particle physics

16 Dark Matter Search compression peaks stronger expansion peaks weaker here you see dark matter by naked eye charged particles (p, e - ) oscillate in a background non-oscillating gravity field => neutral particles, which started structure formation much earlier => physics beyond standard model of particle physics

17 weakly interacting heavy ( > ~ kev) Dark Matter Search many ideas : pu? sterile kev neutrinos Axions Supersymmetry. d e -?? 100 GeV - ~ 1000 GeV mass range is quite natural accelerator bounds thermodynamics during big bang Supersymmetry or ~ 5GeV n e? if it shares matter-antimatter asymmetry ( m c ~ W DM / W p,n * m p ) new particles beyond the standard model WIMP weakly interacting massive particle

18 make it WIMP direct production at LHC? Dark Matter Search on land? Large Hadron Collider CERN - Genf??

19 Dark Matter Search brake it WIMP indirect search - neutrino telescopes - WIMP over density in earth, sun, galactic center c search for high energy annihilation products e.g. high energy neutrinos from sun n m m c c c c c c
