9 Karl-Heinz Kampert Univ. Wuppertal 136 Intra-Cluster Gas X-ray surveys of galaxy clusters allow also to estimate ΩM Surface brightness ρ, T profiles of Gas Mass Result: More matter contained in hot gas than in stars

10 Karl-Heinz Kampert Univ. Wuppertal 137 Non-Baryonic DM Expect ~ 0.25 Ωcrit Classical candidate: Neutrinos (note: 350 νs / cm 3!) If massive, could contribute significantly to DM Ω ν h 2 = i m ν i 93 ev t 3 He + β + ν e mν < 2.05 ev Ων < 0.07 Since mν is very small, velocity would be high, thus we call them Hot Dark Matter (HDM) Non-relativistic particles with masses in GeV scale are called Cold Dark Matter (CDM)

11 Karl-Heinz Kampert Univ. Wuppertal 138 AXIONs HDM candidate (light pseudoscalar particle; J P = 0 - ) (proposed because of absence of CP violation in strong interaction) Weak interaction: 1/mA 5 > tuniverse for ma < 10 ev expect ma in range ev/c 2 expect abundance of /cm 3 May be observed by interaction with strong B-fields B-field Axion -ray Sun Axion LHC magnet + X-ray detect. CAST CERN

12 WIMPs Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (generally preferred candidate) May be detected directly by elastic WIMP-nucleus scattering; recoil of nucleus then detected by ionisation a/o by phonons Highly sensitive semi-conductor counters may be used or bolometers at cryogenic temperatures (T < 1 K) T = E recoil V c V (T ) mx mt E recoil = m T m X (m T + m X ) 2 m Xv 2 (1 cosθ) c V = Q T ( T θ D ) 3 G(T) θ WIMP example: V= 1 cm 3 Si crystal; Erecoil = 6 kev ΔT = 10-5 K; can be measured Karl-Heinz Kampert Univ.
