3 Planck 2015 Parameters of the Universe 3/51

4 Discovery of Dark Matter Fritz Zwicky (1933) F. Zwicky, "Die Rotverschiebung von extragalaktischen Nebeln", Helvetica Physica Acta 6: (1933) F. Zwicky, "On the Masses of Nebulae and of Clusters of Nebulae", Astrophysical Fritz Zwicky ( ) Journal 86: 217 (1937) 4/51

5 Also, earlier Oort (1932) Jan Hendrik Oort ( ) To explain kinematics of vertical motion of the disk stars, Oort needed invisible mass of density ~ 2 GeV / cm^3 at the solar neighborhood. Modern value ~ 0.3 Gev / cm^3 5/51

9 Colliding Galaxy Clusters Bullet Cluster 9/51

10 Colliding Galaxy Clusters (95% C.L.) DM self-interaction can solve some problems of CDM Harvey et al, Science (27 March 2015) 10/51

11 Dark Matter in the Galaxy 11/51

12 Dark Matter Density near the Solar System 12/51

13 Candidates of DM: No lack of options! 13/51

14 Scattering Cross Sections 14/51

15 The WIMP `Miracle' DM must be non-baryonic, and can have only very weak interaction with SM particles Clustering on (sub)galactic scales => 'cold', i.e., massive, and hence non-relativistic Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) In the sufficiently early universe, WIMPs would be in thermal equilibrium due to thermal production by collision of, and annihilation into, SM particles: In thermal equilibrium, If thermal equilibrium prevailed till today, present-day abundance would be negligible! But,... 15/51

16 The WIMP Miracle Annihilation rate since But expansion rate So, at some T=T_f, at which The species freezes out or decouples and leaves the exponentially falling abundance curve Present -day abundance: 16/51

17 The WIMP Miracle 17/51

18 Some numbers More than 10 million DM particles in this room Typical speed ~ 300 km/s. Thus, about 10 trillion DM particles will have passed through your body during this presentation! Can't we detect them? 18/51

19 Direct Detection of WIMPs : Drukier & Stodilsky (1984); Goodman & Witten (1985); Primack, Seckel, Sadulet (1988) 19/51

21 21/51

22 WIMP-Nucleus (Effective) Interaction The effective WIMP-Nucleus X-section can be obtained from fundamental WIMP-quark/gluon x-section: Spin-independent (SI) interaction: V= WIMP-nucleus relative velocity Form factor: Coherence loss of coherence WIMP-nucleon x-section WIMP-nucleon reduced mass = nucleon mass for m_wimp>>m_n Spin-dependent (SD) Interaction 22/51

23 23/51

24 Detection Strategies The energy deposited by WIMP-induced nuclear recoil in the detector medium manifests as light (scintillation), sound (acoustic waves/phonons) and charge (ionization) 24/51
