21 Geoneutrinos and Reactor Neutrinos Geoneutrinos are plentiful, but too low energy and are thus subdominant to the Solar ν flux. Reactors νs can are only important if physically close to a reactor, so we can safely ignore them. Enomoto 2005 Monroe 2007!133

31 WIMP Discovery Limit To asses the discovery potential of WIMP searches, we define the WIMP Discovery Limit Definition of WIMP Discovery Limit: If the true WIMP model lies above this limit, then a given experiment has a 90% probability to obtain at least a 3σ detection of the signal. We want to gauge the significance of an excess in our data from the expected neutrino background, so we define a likelihood function: ν Flux L ( n, ~ )= e (µ + Number of Number of WIMP events ν events P n j=1 µj ) NY 2 WIMP nuclear recoil energy distribution 4µ f (E ri )+ n X ν nuclear recoil energy distribution 3 µ j f j (E ) 5 ri n Y ν flux uncertainty distribution L i ( i ) WIMP cross section N! i=1 j=1 i=1 Using a likelihood ratio test, we determine what cross section of WIMPs would be detected at 3σ or better 90% of the time!143

37 The WIMP Discovery Limit The curve we publish in our papers is constructed from two separate calculations, one at low mass and one at high mass. The low mass threshold is set to get no pp neutrino events The high mass threshold is set to get no 8 B events The curve is not a sensitivity curve! Reiterating the definition: If the true WIMP model lies above this limit, then a given experiment has a 90% probability to obtain at least a 3σ detection of the signal. F. Ruppin, J. Billard, EFF, L.

51 Directional Detectors and the Neutrino Background We see a dark matter wind in the laboratory due to the motion of the solar system in the Galaxy. This wind changes apparent direction in the lab frame due to the diurnal rotation of the Earth The direction of the dark matter wind does not overlap with the position of the Sun in the sky, and thus the direction of solar neutrinos is always different than the dark matter wind. We can use this to differentiate dark matter signals from neutrino backgrounds! C.A.J. O'Hare, A.M. Green, J. Billard, EFF, L.E. Strigari, arxiv: !163

53 Directional Detectors and the Neutrino Background Directional Detectors can keep dark matter searches background free from solar neutrinos (note in this study we ignored other backgrounds!) Atmospheric Neutrinos look isotropic to directional detectors, and thus still form an irreducible background The technology to perform directional detector searches at these exposures is not yet at hand, but this study motivates their continued development 1 MT 1 MT C.A.J.
