7 Where should we look? Search for WIMPs in the Milky Way halo Indirect detection: expect WIMPs from the halo to annihilate with each other to known particles Direct detection: expect WIMPs from the halo to interact in a detector on Earth Solar system Dark matter halo Luminous disk ESO Dark Matter - Dark Energy 7
8 Identify the nature of dark matter with experiments PART 4: WIMP DETECTION Dark Matter - Dark Energy 8
9 DIRECT DETECTION EXPERIMENTS Dark Matter - Dark Energy 9
10 Principle of direct detection Earth moves in WIMP wind from halo Elastic collision of WIMP with nucleus in detector N N recoil energy 2 2 v µ ERec 1 cos 50keV m N Velocity of WIMPs ~ velocity of galactic objects v χ 1 3 ~ 270 km s ~ 10 c µ m m m N m N Dark Matter - Dark Energy 10
11 DM Density (GeV cm -3 ) Cross section and event rates Event rate depends on density of WIMPs in solar system R N m σ χp 3 ~ 0.3GeV cm Rate depends on number N of nuclei in target Distance from centre (kpc) Rate depends on scattering cross section present upper limit σ χp 10 cm 10 pb Weak interactions! Dark Matter - Dark Energy 11
12 Direct detection challenges R N M p low rate large detector very small signal low threshold large background : protect against cosmic rays, radioactivity, Dark Matter - Dark Energy 12
13 Annual modulation Annual modulations due to movement of solar system in galactic WIMP halo 30% effect Observed by DAMA/LIBRA not confirmed by other experiments Against the wind in June higher rate R N M p v ~ 270 km s 1 In direction of the wind in December Lower rate Dark Matter - Dark Energy 13
14 From event rate to cross section R N σ χp M Some experiments claim to see a signal at this mass and with this cross section Other experiments see no signal and put upper limits on the cross section Expected cross sections for models with supersymmetry Dark Matter - Dark Energy 14
15 INDIRECT DETECTION EXPERIMENTS Dark Matter - Dark Energy 15
16 Indirect detection of WIMPs Search for signals of annihilation of WIMPs in the Milky Way halo accumulation near galactic centre or in heavy objects like the Sun or Earth due to gravitational attraction Detect the produced antiparticles, gamma rays, neutrinos W qq ll, Z, H,, e, Dark Matter - Dark Energy 16

36 Related to cosmological constant? problems THE NATURE OF DARK ENERGY Dark Matter - Dark Energy 36
37 Dark vacuum Energy Observed present-day acceleration means that Dark Energy generates a negative pressure Yields gravitational repulsion like vacuum energy Equation of state (see lecture 1) E V 2 Pvac c cst S w P c 2 Fits to SNIa data yield that w is compatible with vacuum energy w 0.85 at 95% C. L Dark Matter - Dark Energy 37
38 Related to cosmological constant Λ In ΛCDM Ω Λ is constant and related to Einsteins cosmological constant If Universe contains constant vacuum energy density related to Λ then we set 8 G vac In very early Universe there was only vacuum energy At Planck energy scale gravity becomes strong energy and length scales 1 def c 19 M PLc GeV G And expected energy density L PL vac DEF c M PL c M c 10 exp 3 L 35 m 2 2 PL PL GeV m Dark Matter - Dark Energy 38
39 Cosmological constant problem Today vacuum energy density is of order of critical density vac c 0.76 c 5GeV m obs crit 10 GeV m vacc exp Discrepancy of 100 orders of magnitude!!! Did vacuum energy evolve with time? There is no explanation yet need high statistics data : Dark Energy Survey start 2011 ( WFIRST mission of NASA launch 2020 ( ) ESA EUCLID mission launch ( ) Dark Matter - Dark Energy 39
40 Alternatives Quintessence 5th force : acceleration is due to potential energy of a dynamical field Vacuum energy density varies with time Mechanism analogue to inflation in early universe P c 2 wt 1 wt 1 3 Maybe general relativity works differently at large distances Dark Matter - Dark Energy 40
41 Summary Observations of SNIa emission show that the universe presently accelerates This can be explained by a constant dark vacuum energy contribution which dominates today In the ΛCDM model the dark energy is related to the cosmological constant introduced by Einstein There is yet no satisfactory explanation for the observed magnitude of the dark energy Dark Matter - Dark Energy 41
